Скачать или смотреть MOD70 Mana & MOD70 Snowflake | Rolex Middle Sea Race 2022

Headline acts this year are the five former MOD70 trimarans. Maserati, Mana, Snowflake, Zoulou and Axciss.

Ricardo Pavoncelli's Mana was second on the water to Maserati in 2020, but a winner under MOCRA time correction. In 2021, Mana was third home. Alexis Barrier, the French professional sailor who competed in the last Vendée Globe is among the Mana crew, along with Paul Larsen of Sailrocket fame.

"I have done the race three times before on much smaller, slower boats than the MOD70 The winds were strong and the waves big. It won't be the same at all this time," Barrier explained. "Maybe we'll break the record for the slowest race ever, although I hope not!"

The three lesser-known quantities, in terms of this race, are: Frank Slootman's Snowflake (USA) with Gavin Brady leading the crew, Erik Maris' Zoulou (FRA) with Sidney Gavignet and Axciss entered by Italian sailor, Cosimo Malesci.
