After the first two days of racing in the Mini Maxi Rolex World Championship, the regatta had its scheduled lay day today (Wednesday, September 4th), allowing Bella Mente Racing to reflect and prepare for the final days ahead.

“We improved our performance the second day,” said owner/driver Hap Fauth. “Though our boat speed has been lack luster, the team has performed well in extremely light conditions. Bella will shine in ten knots and above.”
Fauth and the team may get their wish, with heavier breeze forecasted for the final three days of the event.
