Victim of recent Mascalzone Latino's
results in LV Cup, Vasco Vascotto is no longer helmsman
of the team.
On Tuesday evening, the Italian Mascalzone Latino-Capitalia
Team issued the following statement from team owner
Vincenzo Onorato:
"Five losses in a row have seriously affected
our morale, it would be wrong to deny. In today’s
sailing team meeting the burn from the losses was
evident. However my men are not depressed but angry,
with a real desire to recover and that is exactly
the way I’d like them to be.
We’ve also felt the fatigue from the last days.
The Cup is a long and strenuous commitment, for
this reason I have decided to change the helmsman,
for tomorrow’s race, from Flavio Favini to Cameron
Dunn.
We have very qualified and capable replacements
and now is the time to make use of them. I would
like to thank all of those who have shown their
affection and still believe in us: Mascalzone Latino
is still very much alive!"
Cameron Dunn is a Kiwi sailor who has been in the
past two Louis Vuitton Cups with Aloha Challenge
in 1999 and Oracle BMW Racing in 2002-3.
Mascalzone Latino has a bye in Flight 3, but faces
Desafío Español 2007 in a critical match in Flight
4, also scheduled on Wednesday
