The TF35 Scarlino event signals the grand finale for the Yacht Club Isole di Toscana racing season and the final leg of the TF35 Trophy. Swiss team, Realteam for Léman hope came out on top.
The last event of the coveted TF35 Trophy circuit included four days of light to medium winds and summer weather, allowing the dispute of nine races for the TF35 Scarlino.
The Gulf of Follonica provided breezes from the south-western quadrants between 5 and 14 knots, allowing the six racing teams to face each other in a variety of conditions.
At the end of the nine races, victory went to the Swiss Realteam for Lémah hope, followed by compatriot Spindrift and Alinghi Red Bull Racing.

At the start of the event, Alinghi Red Bull Racing were leading the circuit, which started in May and included six regattas, four Swiss and two Italian, pressed for only two points by Realteam for Léman hope.
Alinghi, with the advantage held, had already secured the victory. On the lowest step of the podium was the Spindrift team.
The TF35 grants early take-off speed, guarantees foiling upwind and downwind and a fully automatic flight control system, using the latest in foiling technology, both to improve performance and simplify high-speed foiling.
This was easily visible during racing days 1 and 2, where the breeze was very light and the boats could fly across the water.
The spectacular class will return again to the Marina di Scarlino in spring 2023.
Thanks were expressed by Ernesto Bertarelli at the award ceremony, together with an applause for the Marina and the professionalism of all collaborators.
The event was organised by the Yacht Club Isole di Toscana, with the support of Comune di Scarlino and the collaboration of Marina di Scarlino, Scarlino Yacht Service and Marina di Scarlino Resort.
