THE STRAITS OF BONIFACIO - WHERE YACHTIES GO TO PLAY
By Trevor Joyce
Between the southern cape of French Corsica and the Northern tip of Italian Sardinia lay the straits of Bonifacio, a 12 mile extension of the Tyrrhenian Sea dotted with the islands and rocks of the Maddalena and Lavezzi National Parks. Fanned by the famous westerly mistral the straits will be the stage in September 2010 for three sailing events; the Rolex World Maxi Championships, the Rolex Swan Cup and the RPAYC Bonifacio Yacht Rally. The first two events are world famous and are conducted by the Yacht Club Costa Smerelda in Porto Cervo. The third event will be conducted for the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club by Mariner Boating Holidays from Sydney!.......read more
