“Our first 24hours of the 2023 Rolex Middle Sea Race, were as expected strong winds leading all the way to capo passero with waves getting bigger as night fell. Once past Capo Passero we had some fluky moments wind shifting from side to side, a lot of sail changes and a strategic decision had to be taken as to whether stay on the inside – took that decision and seems to be paying off as we joined other competitors as we are reaching the Messina straight. Wind is reaching around 15 knots. team is well rested and well fed as we continue on this journey. Thanks for your support -Claudio Bugeja, skipper – JYS Jan
