During the last week-end the Audi Melges 20 Winter Tune-Up started in Savona. Several teams decided to take advantage of training in the Liguria’s Sea, to get in shape for the next season. While someone is planning the winter holidays, others put the step on the gas to achieve or try to beat the leaders of the last season.

The training day is very tough: going out in the early morning to take the chance of Tramontana, warm up with several speed tests, a lot of starts and shorts races. Well, turned out for the best.

The Audi Melges 20 Winter Tune-Up will go on the next November the 28-29 and it will conclude December the 12-13, with the Christmas Race on the last Sunday 13^th December.

Moreover we rembember you that the free trial of Audi Melges 20 will go on even for the next two planned week end.
