Yacht series level
NZPA-AP Sardinia The Italian boat Azzurra won its first regatta in the finals of the 12-metre world yachting championship to square the best-of-five series against Victory ’B3. The English boat, now owned by an Italian consortium, won the opening race on Saturday, but Azzurra got quick revenge in a flaw-
Tess race over the triangular course at Port Cervo. Azzurra started a second behind but quickly took over the lead and, by the eighth buoy, had increased its margin to 2.08 minutes. Victory made two serious attempts to overtake the Italian boat, but Azzurra held its own in a race held under clear skies with a northerly wind of 18 knots.
