"I am very happy - says Francesco Gabbi, helmsman of" Coconut " - we get here in the race after seven months since I boarded "Coconut" and we knew not to be at the top compared to our rivals who had many more hours of the sea in 2010. Above all, I do not helm a boat from the World Platu 25 last year and I knew I was a little 'rusty'. The guys on board have been fantastic, they have always operated at maximum and in "direct confrontation" we have always had the upper hand. The boat sails with CSD was the fastest of the fleet.
