Cymraeg Well done to Chris Jones and Gareth Jones Davis, who competed in the two handed Marina militare nastro rosa il Giro d'Italia 2026.
They competed for team Verein Seglerhaus AM, sailing the 7th leg of the series, 224nm from Napoli to Portoferraio on one of the Figaro 3s.
Although sailing for the German team, Chris was adamant that they were going to be flying the flag for Pwllheli Sailing Club and proudly displayed our burgee on the stern.
They set off at great pace on Saturday and logged a 1st place at the first two out of the four gates. Challenging winds and constant battles amongst the top 3 places saw them finish on Monday morning in 3rd place after a nail-biting last few miles. Their fine efforts boosted the team's standing overall, moving them up two places into 3rd overall from 5th place.
