Livorno, Italy - April 2005 - IRC

X-50 ”Lady X” Winner
The X-50 “Lady X” has won the IRC Group A in one of the most important races in Italy - the Trofeo Accademia Navale in Livorno. This race is valid as selection for the Italian Championship.

X-Yachts dealer Piergiorgio Ravaioni raced his brand new
X-50 “Lady X” for the first time, and the all new sails were hoisted only a few minutes before the start signal rang out. Unfortunately, this was just in time for an early start, a black flag and a disqualification!

Hereafter, the following four races were an emotional “crescendo” with a 6th, 4th, 2nd and 1st place. The final

result with a discard was a 1st place, and “Lady X” became the winner of the Naval Academy Trophy. Right behind the
X-50 came the X-46 “Jonathan Livingston” helmed by Diana Giorgio.

Fantastic results were also achieved by two X-332s in the IRC Group B, where the X-332 Sport “Spike Plus” won the race and another X-332 “Seaqua - De Pedrini” became winner of the IMS Group B.
