Howth’s Rocco Wright is continuing his successful countdown to the Optimist Worlds 2021 with a runaway big-fleet win on Lake Garda. Promoted as the best warmup opportunity before this week’s World Championships, the 46th Trofeo Optimist d’Argento ended on Sunday at the Circolo Vela Torbole with 31 nations participating and nearly 300 entries. The young Irish sailor led the charge from the start, and won overall by an extraordinary 9 points, ahead of top American sailor James Pine - brother of Nathan who won in Howth at the Irish Nationals in 2019.
The World Championships start on Lake Garda on Wednesday, June 30th and runs until July 1.
