Major opponent was the local team Cvcp by Michele Tognozzi, helm, Andrea Pisaneschi, middle, and Haakon Haraldsen, owner and bowman. ITA 258 finished in second in all the five regattas taking the Italian title. In third was HUN 77 by Georgy Wossala, a long time friend of the local Club.
Second Italian was the Armellini family with ITA 241 and third ITA 252 by De Amicis-De Amicis-Greco Manuli. The 17 years old Marco Dr Amicis was presented with the Alfio Galeotti Trophy for the youngest sailor in the fleet.
