The Swan 45 on the Giraglia podium
The Giraglia Rolex Cup celebrated its 70th anniversary this year and the Swan team made it onto the podium. The crew of From Now On, Fernando Chain’s Swan 45, dominated the ORC classification. A few days after the conclusion of the regatta, the owner gave an interview, expressing his thoughts on the race and the boat that led the entire crew to victory.
"We are very happy to have achieved this result. Although we have already won twice, this is the first on the top of the podium in a long race. Of course we are very proud, all the more so considering the anniversary context of the competition. We were delighted just to take part: the Giraglia, which together with the Coppa del Rey is one of the most competitive races, is always part of our projects. For us coming from Argentina, this win is really important, we hope we can come back again next year".
About the Swan 45, Chain said "Sailing with a Swan, not just any Swan, but with a Swan 45 is a plus. Many times we have exceeded the wind speed, with performance equal to the best ICRs. The structure of the Swan is incredible: an exceptional boat".
