On May 18, the 70th Regata dei Tre Golfi and 2025 ORC Mediterranean Championship officially wrapped up, with victory going to To Be, the Italia Yachts 11.98 owned by Stefano Rusconi and representing Yacht Club Italiano. The Italian team claimed the overall title and the Senator Andrea Matarazzo Cup by winning the offshore race — a 156-nautical-mile overnight challenge — which started from Naples on May 16 and concluded with To Be winning on corrected time.

This final offshore leg was a crucial decider in the championship, forming the second act of the ORC Med series. The route took the fleet around the islands of Ponza, Capri and Li Galli, providing a fast and tactical passage that tested navigation, boat speed and teamwork.

To Be delivered an outstanding performance, finishing the race with a corrected time of 13 hours 28 minutes, the fastest across all classes — a result that secured their overall championship victory.

“The Regata dei Tre Golfi was a superb conclusion to the series we had already sailed in Sorrento,” commented Stefano Rusconi, owner of To Be. “The final miles of the offshore had us holding our breath through the early morning hours, fearing that the smaller boats might beat us in corrected time. Personally, and on behalf of the To Be crew, we are proud of the result and fully energized for the European Championship.”

To Be, already a front-runner during the windward-leeward races of the ORC Mediterranean Championship held between Sorrento and Capri, May 8-10, confirmed its consistency and strength in the offshore leg as well. The team also took home the Yacht Club Italiano Trophy, awarded to the crew with the most podium finishes across the event.

The Tre Golfi Sailing Week, ORC Mediterranean Championship were organized by Circolo del Remo e della Vela Italia under the patronage of FIV, and in cooperation with Yacht Club Italiano, Reale Yacht Club Canottieri Savoia, the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC), and UVAI. The event is supported by Rolex (Official Timepiece), Loro Piana, North Sails, Banca Patrimoni Sella, Ferrarelle, Ottogas, Deloitte, Italia Yachts, and other technical and institutional partners.
