The beginnings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was in the seventies when I started sailing, I was twelve years old. I did my first sailing course together with my cousin\u00a0Gianbattista at the Brenzone sailing club taught by Nicolino\u00a0Salv\u00e0. At that time the club had a small space on the beach\u00a0crammed with boats. We went out for a couple of hours in the\u00a0afternoon with Nicolino who taught us the basics from a small\u00a0rubber boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We sailed with whatever there was available. Optimists already\u00a0existed but nobody had one. There were some Flying Juniors\u00a0but we could not use them as they were racing boats. The boat\u00a0most coveted was the 470. I remember we used two yellow boats with a rounded bow because they were the easiest to right\u00a0after a capsize. They were called Flic and Floc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My uncle Lino sailed with a gaff rigged boat. They were fishing\u00a0boats modified with a trapeze, masts in wood and canvas sails\u00a0made by a local sailmaker. In those days there was always a regatta somewhere around Brenzone on a Sunday in the summertime. I used to enjoy going to watch and then after the race\u00a0going out for a sail with my uncle. Then I became his crew and\u00a0with him participated in my first regattas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was 17-18 years old a group of Star sailors got together\u00a0in Acquafresca. At that time, I used to sail with the Pontoni\u00a0twins and then with Nereo Modena. After several summer outings I did my first Star regatta in Sulzano, Lago d\u2019Iseo. It was\u00a0in 1984 and I started to race more seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My career in Olympic classes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That same year I started my activity in the Olympic classes as\u00a0crew to Roberto Benamati who had just left the Finn\u00a0to sail the Star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started well. In 1985 we qualified for the Worlds in the\u00a0Bahamas. The Italian Federation had rented an old Star in Nassau and we concluded our first Worlds in twenty first place.\u00a0How exciting it was. I have happy memories even though the\u00a0result was not the best. I felt as if I was walking on the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The year after at the Worlds in Capri there were 130 boats. It\u00a0was one of the largest fleets ever assembled. The Italians were\u00a0strong and were the team to beat. Indeed, four crews of which\u00a0two were from Lake Garda finished in the top ten. Albino Fravezzi was in fifth place and Roberto and me in eighth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1987 was the year of the Worlds in Chicago on Lake Michigan large and windy. My first\u00a0time in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1988 we missed out on qualifying for the Worlds in Argentina (Buenos Aires) and\u00a0for the Olympics in Seoul. It was won by Giorgio Gorla followed by Albino Fravezzi. Having missed out on selection Roberto and I decided to separate. At the end of the\u00a0four year Olympic cycle all the cards are\u00a0thrown into the pot and recycled and\u00a0often crews switch around. I ended up\u00a0together with Albino still in the Star and we continued together until 1991-92.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"beppe<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In 1990 with Albino we won the Italian Championship. In 1991 we were\u00a0confirmed Italian Champions and we\u00a0won the Spring Europeans organised by the Fraglia Vela Malcesine\u00a0and Acquafresca. There were 130 boats\u00a0from all over the world. Lots of boats!\u00a0With this set of results we were serious\u00a0contenders for the Olympics in Barcelona but the federation had decided quite\u00a0rightly to send Roberto Benamati and\u00a0Mario Salani who would win the Worlds in Cannes in the following month of\u00a0October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of 1992 I returned to the Star\u00a0with Roberto and we arrived fourth at\u00a0the Worlds in San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1993 I participated in regattas with\u00a0the Libera del Garda class and the Asso99 with which I won the National title and the\u00a0European circuit. I also took part in the Soling Europeans organised by the Torbole\u00a0sailing club together with Flavio Favini and Marco di Natale finishing in fourth place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following three years Robert and I returned to the Star together and were amongst the top of the fleet in Italy. Tommaso Chieffi was our closest adversary and the man\u00a0to beat having won the Worlds in Rio di Janeiro in 1996 and he subsequently won the\u00a0selection to go to the Olympics in Atlanta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"beppe<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I finished 1996 in the Soling with Giovanni Arrivabene and Fabio Toccoli. In 1998 I\u00a0returned to the Star with Luca Modena and in 1999 with Silvio Santoni. With Silvio\u00a0I participated in the 1999 Worlds in Punta Ala with more than 150 boats registered.\u00a0We ended our experience together in 2000 at Annapolis an American city alongside\u00a0Chesapeake Bay near Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That same year my participation in Olympic sailing drew to a close and I took part in\u00a0several offshore regattas where I won a Mumm 30 Worlds and a Barcolana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A coach for the Italian Sailing Federation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1994 I was coach for the Optimist team in the Lake Garda Zone. I remember it was\u00a0Gianni Testa ( 82) who recommended me to the President of the committee. At\u00a0that time the squad comprised the best sailors from all the clubs: Malcesine, Bardolino\u00a0and Torbole had joined the project and we had formed a good team. In 1995 sailing for\u00a0the Fraglia Vela Malcesine there was Mara Trimeloni, Daniele Scalet and Ylena Carcasole who had won the Italian Championships in Cagliari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The year after as Technical Director for the Federation I was responsible for the Optimist and Equipe teams, a job I did until 2004. The results were not long in coming.\u00a0The Optimist team had won three Worlds and the Equipe several European titles and\u00a0most of the more important regattas. The youngsters from this team are now all professional people and it is nice to come across them even now at various race meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 2004 and for five years I trained the 29ers for the Federation. Our best result was\u00a0third place in the Worlds in the Bahamas and a tenth place at the Worlds in Riva del\u00a0Garda which had nearly 300 boats on the start line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And thanks to Sergio Gaibisso, the President of the Italian Sailing Federation, I was\u00a0able to continue my racing career until the year 2000 whilst still keeping my commitments to the federation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical Director for the National\u00a0Paralympic Team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2009 I became the Technical Director for the National Paralympic Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three boats used for the Paralympics all have a keel. The\u00a02.4 is a single-hander with main and jib. The Skud 18 is a mixed\u00a0crew, double handed boat similar to the 49er. The Sonar is a\u00a0boat for three people, it is seven metres long and is the only class\u00a0where the crew have to move from side to side when tacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"beppe<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We had worked together for only two years in preparation for\u00a0the London Olympics of 2012 and it went very well. We qualified in all three classes, a feat which was realised in only five\u00a0other nations throughout the world. We departed for the games in good spirits well aware that a good result would also be\u00a0a bonus. In fact our best result was a fifth place in the Skud 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the opening day the Times newspaper dedicated the whole\u00a0paper to the games. The sailing took place in Portland a town\u00a0facing the English-channel. The Olympic village was small but\u00a0very comfortable and the port only five minutes away by bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Paralympic regimen is very similar to that of the Olympics: there is a circuit together with the Olympic classes with its\u00a0rounds of European and World Cups as well as a Europeans\u00a0and Worlds for all three classes. Between regattas and training\u00a0the Paralympic team is busy for 150 days of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the paralympics of Rio di Janeiro in 2016 our prospects for\u00a0results were very different. We had a crew who won Silver and\u00a0two Bronze medals at the last three Worlds and were expecting\u00a0to come home with some medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rio proved to be more complicated than London. We arrived\u00a0in Brazil 15 days before the regatta but the first week we needed\u00a0to get our bearings and overcome the difficulties created by the\u00a0lack of organisation at the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Olympic village was enormous and an hour and a half distance from the sailing venue by minibus. This brought with it\u00a0added discomfort and stress in addition to that normally experienced in everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arrived seventh with the 2.4 twelfth with the Sonar and Sixth with the Skud 18. With the Skud 18 a horrible windy day with\u00a0one disqualification and two retirements had wiped away our\u00a0hopes of a podium place. A great pity! Probably in strong wind\u00a0we were not really on a par with the better crews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participating in an Olympics is an incredible experience. The\u00a0athletes have the weight of expectation on their shoulders and\u00a0the stress of competing. As the coach I have to look out for the\u00a0whole team and ensure that my team are the best prepared\u00a0they can be in order to perform to their potential. I organised\u00a0everything leading up to the event. I organised it in a way that\u00a0they would arrive fresh and with the minimum of stress and\u00a0worries so that they could put all their concentration and energy into the racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are now in 2016 and I am still working with the Sailing\u00a0Federation but part-time. I want to dedicate more time to my\u00a0campsite and my family. I have also thought about stepping\u00a0away completely from sailing but don\u2019t think I can manage it. I would miss it too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fraglia Vela Malcesine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1992 I arrived at Fraglia and taught several sailing courses for\u00a0children with Angelica Tonelli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2000 I became a member of the sailing club and several years later joined the board becoming Sporting Director of the\u00a0training teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite my title decisions have always been taken on a shared\u00a0basis with the objective of increasing the activities for children\u00a0and to bring to the Fraglia as many of the people from Malcesine as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gianni Testa is an incredible force. I don\u2019t know how he does\u00a0it. Difficulties have and will always arise but he confronts them\u00a0head on with the most optimistic and cheerful spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"beppe<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was difficult in the beginning to find a coach who could give\u00a0stability to the project. Ylena was an intuitive decision. A girl\u00a0from Malcesine who had grown up in the Fraglia, an athlete\u00a0of high standard and likeable. Before Ylena Valerio Brighenti was responsible for the school but was primarily concerned with managing the courses for racing. After Valerio there was Ezequiel Schargorodsky who did an excellent job. When\u00a0the children from the Optimist squad were ready to move boat\u00a0Valerio an ex laser sailor formed the Laser team and immediately achieved some good results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another leap forward in organisation came with the arrival of\u00a0Mattia Lonardi\u00a0who has organised all the activities of\u00a0the sailing school lifting some of the responsibilities previously\u00a0carried by Ylena. After this arrived Luigi Rago for the 420 squad\u00a0and Giorgia Brizio\u00a0for windsurfing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are the only sailing club on Lake Garda with a sailing school for Optimist and windsurfing and a group of sailors divided\u00a0into four training squads with about eighty sailors.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Fraglia the activities come first and there is no pressure\u00a0to bring home results at any cost. We all work in an atmosphere\u00a0of calm without labels and without jealousy. Our coaches work\u00a0to create a squad and are highly motivated. They have the Fraglia in their hearts and it is an integral part of their being. This\u00a0is our secret for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sustain the cost of the training we need to work hand in\u00a0hand with the Marina Navene Srl which is owned by the Town\u00a0Council of Malcesine. The space and Logistics of the new base\u00a0could not be better. We are able to organise regattas of a high\u00a0level and give an excellent service to the athletes who come to\u00a0our waters to execute their training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Italian Sailing Federation have chosen us as their training\u00a0base and we want to increase the numbers of athletes who\u00a0come to train year on year and all year round. In this way we\u00a0can increase the commercial activity of Malcesine to the benefit of all of its inhabitants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fraglia Vela Malcesine is not an elitist place – there is nobody who looks down their nose at others. It is true that sailing is an expensive sport and true that playing football costs much\u00a0less, but for sure you can learn to sail without a radical outlay\u00a0or the need to become a champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why not get out there and get to know a whole new world?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We live on the most famous lake in the world for sailing. We have everything at our fingertips, it would be nice if everybody knew what\u00a0it is to go sailing.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

So why not get out there and get to know a whole new world?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
