Andrea Mura back on the boat for the grueling RomaX1

The sailor from Cagliari on the starting line on Saturday of the solo regatta of which he already holds the record with just over 66 hours

CAGLIARI. Another sea adventure for the sailor Andrea Mura. And another record to beat: the distance record (just over 66 hours) of Roma x 1, already in his hands after his participation six years ago. “I hope to be able to improve this record, it will certainly be a very tough return to the regatta”, he said today in port in Cagliari during the press conference to present the regatta scheduled for Saturday 9 April, before setting sail for the transfer to Riva di Traiano.

«I will meet strong mistral during the first part of the route and, if the forecasts are confirmed, a light sirocco on the way back. In any case, always downwind, ideal for regaining confidence with a long voyage ».

On Saturday Mura will be on the starting line of the Roma x 1, a solo race that will lead him, through the Ventotene passage, to round Lipari and return to Riva di Traiano for a total of about 530 miles. This is the sixth participation of Mura and his Open 50 ‘Vento di Sardegna in the competition, the second solo. In fact, in 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010, he took part – winning on all occasions – at Roma x 2, together with Guido Maisto. Participation in Rome x 1 represents the first step of a new path towards the ocean.

In fact, the navigator’s programs include the Global Solo Challenge, a non-stop solo tour of the world, without assistance and without a stop, which will start in September 2023 from La Coruna, Spain. The presence of Andrea Mura and Vento di Sardegna at Roma x 1 has the support of Moys, Fondazione di Sardegna and Velerie Mura, and will compete as standard bearer of the Olbia Nautical Club.
