Rome, (IINA) - Omani Sail’s crew of Sultanate of Oman capped off a stunning month by winning the Trofeo di Roma and stretching their overall lead in the 2015 Bullitt GC32 Racing Tour, according to Times of Oman and Oman News Agency.
Going into the final day of racing at the popular Italian resort of Civitavecchia, the team was fending off a strong challenge from Swiss rivals Alinghi who were on a roll with a stream of podium places.
The win comes on the back of McMillan’s Extreme 40 victory in St Petersburg, Russia, with The Wave, Muscat and puts three points between Sultanate of Oman and second placed Alinghi on the overall ranking.
The participation of Oman sail in this race comes in continuity to its outstanding participation in the Extreme 40 Races that contributed to the promotion of the Sultanate in many tourist stations, such as Singapore, Australia, the United Kingdom, China, Turkey, Russia, Germany, and France, as GC 32 races pass through a number of European stations.
Overall standings: 1. Sultanate of Oman 7, 2. Alinghi 10, 3. Spindrift Racing 12, 4. Armin Strom Sailing Team 15, 5. Team Engie 17, 6. Team Argo 32 23.
