Meraviglioso, Gilberto. So true...so true,especially about sleep. I doubt that you have given away too many of Piero's and The Prof's secrets.
One thing you did but pass over: If you are distracted (by a short nap, a meeting, dinner, or family...) the boat/boats you are covering will tack or gybe while you are away.

This is priceless.
So true.

I didn't know a Genoa sail was named after the city. Wow, always learning.

It's true. Coincidentally, my home town is Heavy # 1.

Even if I agree with all of the rules of ITA,except maybe the rule:be always on CC and not on TWA in windshifts,I must say that most important of all the rules of ITA is missing:Be sure to have the best router on the market,or even better program it yourself if you are able to.
Than you are sure to be the top racer on SOL
