The third edition of the Rolex Capri Sailing Week Volcano Race offered a variety of tactical tests and capricious conditions with some of Italy’s most iconic destinations forming the backdrop. The weeklong event, beginning on 18 May, comprised three segments: the first an offshore race from Gaeta, on the Italian mainland, to Capri; the second featured inshore racing off Capri; and the third a long-distance offshore race that started and finished off Capri.
