The after races as usual had pasta, beer and Ice Cream sponsored by Gelatissimo, but despite all sailors spent lots of time at the yacht club and were tired, at 6.30 pm 80% of the fleet took the buses to the Winery. They were received with a warm welcome, with a visit to the installations of Ferghettina one of the event sponsors located at the region of Francocorta famous for their white and bubling wine.
After the short visit into the installations the sailors hang out at the lounge rooms and decks from the farm, drinking and eating typical food of the region like scargot + bacon, fried fishes, mozzarella cheese, grapes, and as a final plate the risotto with fungi.
The night kept going on and it was 1100 when buses started the trip back home, the first bus with majority of Italians, kept singing the whole trip, quite experience for teams of Norway, USA, France.
