lead and slowly extend it throughout the race.
In the fourth and crucial match, Spithill took
command, winning the start, and sailed a clean,
controlled race.
Earlier in the day, James Spithill was able
to beat 3-1 the danish Lars Norbjaerg who was

This year is the tenth edition of the
Roberto Trombini Challenge Trophy at Marina
di Ravenna, from 30th June to 4th July 2004.
The decennial edition of the Trombini Challenge
Trophy promises to be a big success thanks to
the high level of organization by Progetto Vela

and International Yacht Club Marinara and thanks
to the support of the many sponsors united in
remembrance of Roberto Trombini, well known
yachtsman from Ravenna.
The participation of 12 world level skippers
and some big names from the America’s
Cup, the possibility to follow the races from
the grandstand on the pier at the port of
Marina di Ravenna, the hospitality village
and many other attractions make the 10th Roberto
Trombini Challenge Trophy yet again another
extraordinary occasion not to be missed by
all match race enthusiasts.
The programme of Round Robins will be posted
after the pairing at the skipper’s meeting.
Each crew will challenge all the others twice
in the Round Robins. The teams will be classified
at the end of the series of ‘flights’.
The first 8 will go forward to the quarter
finals , the best 4 will go on to the semi-finals
and so on until the finals.
