From the deck of Bella Mente to the rooftop parties of Sorrento, you keep us laughing, sailing, and slightly concerned. Wishing you another year of smooth sailing and questionable fashion choices.

What a ride! Bella Mente was first to finish in th What a ride! Bella Mente was first to finish in the Nassau Cup Ocean Race, smashing the 2013 record! 177.7 nautical miles in 9:20:49, averaging 19+ knots across the Gulf Stream. 🌊💨

From Mike Sanderson, afterguard: “To say we were a little nervous about the forecast was an understatement! But it turned into a dream run—fast, wet, and high-speed reaching. When you’re sailing to the Bahamas in warm waters, it’s pretty special!!”

From tactician Terry Hutchinson: “Huge shoutout to the Bella Mente shore team—MVPs of this race. Reliability was key, and the boat was immaculately prepared. The sailors pushed hard and were rewarded with a record and a podium spot!”

Next stop: Europe to defend our European Championship in Sorrento, Italy! 🇮🇹🏆

About Bella Mente

The original Bella Mente Racing campaign kicked off in 2006 with Key West Race Week, and since then owner and skipper Hap Fauth has had three additional racing yachts in the program.

Launched in September of 2018, the current Bella Mente is a Maxi 72 designed by Botin Partners in Spain and built by New England Boatworks in Rhode Island.
