Eight Farr 40s came to the line for the start of the European Championships in Sardinia. Scirocco winds built from 8 knots on the first day of racing, which saw the vice-World Champion, Nerone, with Vasco Vascotto on tactics, in the lead. Current world champion, Barking Mad, finished down in fifth. It was truly a battle of the Italians, with Vincenzo Onorato's Mascalzone Latino finishing in second place at the end of the first day's racing off Cagliari.
