Yacht Designer Mark Mills To Race Maxi Cup in Sardinia

#supernikka – Wicklow yacht designer Mark Mills has had a 'scintillating summer' in his own words following a number of international successes including his latest launching of the 62' SuperNikka to her maiden victory in the sixth edition of the Miglia 151. See video above. The Kilbride designer says the SuperNikka impressed on her light air debut finishing off the Marina di Punta Ala ahead of larger rivals such as the 72' Pendragon and 84' My Song, and correcting to second overall in the 156 boat fleet. SuperNikka is currently cruising in Sardinia before changing gears to prepare for the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup in Sardinia in September where Mills will be onboard.
