Giraglia Regatta is not the common place for the classic wooden sail yacht, and even less if she is competing with the leading edge carbon sails. I was expecting to see Mariska D-1 to start alone, out of the crowd, but when the Papa flag had gone, while the newest Cannonball ITA-42200 was bearing away, in the middle off the “black forest” with the huge stop-watch in the background, a white Lady emerged with all the elegance that white sail and natural fibre mast have. Departure remains a question of humans, not technologies.
