Also this year the athletes of Favignana Yacht Club have been involved in major national and international sailing events. Among the leading athletes around the world the burgee of the Yacht Club Favignana, Andrea and Matthew Fornaro Miceli are those who have reaped the most important results.
The young Andrea Fornaro, as well as winning the International Trophy of Livorno in the Olympic Star Class, won the Giraglia, came sixth (while recording the breaking of the shaft and the mainsail) in the Italian Championship Class Star and concluded the well- 'challenging Rolex Middle Sea Race and the Star Class World Championship. Matteo Miceli, for its part, has pushed a series of podium finishes in various events which took part (the Italian Grand Prix Mini 6.50, V Trofeo Ignazio Florio, Giraglia Rome, Carthago Dilecta East-Rome Rome-Giannutri, III Targa Florio Sea).
"I am particularly happy for this 2010 - Andrea Fornaro said - very satisfying and a lot of experience in dealing with the best sailors in the world, an experience that will be useful for next year. 2011 will be even more important - Fornaro said - because there will be the qualification for the 2012 London Olympics (the first selection will start in April 2011 in Palma de Mallorca), but I'm happy to announce that among the many commitments, next year I'll be at the starting line of very classical offshore Rolex Fastnet Race, the World Class 40 and Melges 20 circuit. "
Matteo Miceli on the other hand submitted to the Genoa International Boat Show (Sea Theatre) his next two challenges: first, the crossing (in duplicate Tullio Picciolini) Atlantic on board the catamaran Blonde Star.
"On 16 December - said Miceli - leave for Dakar, and there wait patiently for the weather conditions favorable to the company and get groped in Guadeloupe in less than 11 days, 11 hours and 24 seconds: the current record held by the French Pierre-Yves Moreau and Benoit Lequin who beat what we had set myself and Andrea Gancia. The second event that I care particularly - said Miceli - is the next on December 15, the day will be launched in Ostia ESTEC, the new Este 40 (completely environmentally friendly), the boat that in 2012 I will try single-handed round the world " .
"I am very satisfied with the performance of our two top athletes this season - said the President of Clare Zarlocco Favignana Yacht Club - a demonstration that the representatives of our club know do well in international competitions. Andrea is young and is a guy who deserves the achievements and I am convinced that in the future, even in the Olympic classes, will give us much satisfaction. He has great temperament, a lot of competition despite his young age and a truly tireless determination. He wants to win and it is proving fully. "
"Matthew - Chiara Zarlocco continues - is a great champion. The combination that we wanted to organize together, with conviction, completes the process of gradual rapprochement between sport and communication. This manifests itself mainly in the fact that, in addition to the works carried into the sea, we continued efforts in social work. The colors of the YCF are for young people, support and accompany Matthew to the world of the disabled, such as the excellent program 'Sunday in the boat, "' where young Matt is home to exceptional but unfortunate. Then my great satisfaction this year, at the fifth edition of the Challenge Trofeo Ignazio Florio and we had a boat - the Santa Maria - with a crew of 4 awesome kids with disabilities. And then, during the Targa Florio of the sea, all the attention to the territory, with the extraordinary participation of primary schools. Yes - close Zarlocco - is to get maximum satisfaction in team Andrea and Matthew, but I assure you that sports the likes of fornication - winner of the third edition of the Targa Florio of the sea - are good at Favignana Yacht Club, because they bring great performance and a increasing attention to the sailing world.
