Two races were held on Saturday 8 February with Grecale winds between 12 and 14 knots for 36 boats entered in the second edition of the Marina di Loano Winter Championship. Nothing happened on Sunday 9 February: despite a long wait until 1:30 p.m., the total absence of wind did not allow the day's race to take place. The event is organised by Circolo Nautico Loano, Circolo Nautico del Finale, CNAM Alassio, with the support and collaboration of Marina di Loano and Yacht Club Marina di Loano.
