The Swan Tuscany Challenge has concluded today in Italian waters with the suspension maintained until the last minute, and the first places still at stake during the final tests of the race.

Before starting the last ClubSwan 50 test, Hatari of Marcus Brennecke was the leader of the table just three points ahead of Stella Maris of August Schram, which boasted a thrill-filled ending.

The German swan that has counted on the Spanish Javier de la Plaza as a trimmer of the major, has gone for all and has managed to stand at the head of the fleet on several occasions, but has had to conform to the second square in the last test and in the general classification, as the constancy of Hatari and the third place in final test have won the general victory.

Meanwhile, the winner of the tenth and final trial, Giuliana of Alberto Franchi, has taken third place on the podium, ahead of Balthasar, winner of the first trial of the day, and of Cuordileone.

The fleet of ClubSwan Racing 50 has had a large representation of Spanish regatists, with Iker Martínez on board the Ulika, Pablo Arrarte and Juan Meseguer sailing on board Balthasar, Luis Doreto as a tactic of the Giuliana, Manuel Weiller Vidal in the same position in the Cuordileone, or Javier de la Plaza as a timer of the largest of the second classified, Stella Maris.

Hatari's victory has been memorable, as the boat has managed to bring back the bad start of the first day of competition, on which it was punished for an infringement.

Also disputed has been the competition in the ClubSwan 36 class, with G-Spot of Giangiacomo Serena di Lapigio showing its best game to achieve a first and second place in the last two tests, overcoming the provisional leader Mamao in general with only two points of advantage.

The Brazilian team of Haakon Lorentzen, Mamao, has finished the Swan Tuscany Challenge in style, winning the last test, but has paid the fourth place in the first test of the day, leaving second to two points of G-Spot. The Turkish Facing Future of Mehmet Taki held the third podium position.
