Cape2Rio - NEW RECORD FOR MASERATI AND GIOVANNI SOLDINI | ||
Maserati and Giovanni Soldini have set a new record in the Cape2Rio, the longest race between two southern hemisphere continents. They covered the 3,300-mile route from Cape Town (South Africa) to Rio de Janeiro (Brasil) in a blistering 10 days, 11 hours, 29 minutes and 57 seconds, slashing more than two days off the previous record held by American 72’ Zephyrus IV (12 days, 16 hours, 49 minutes). |

“The Cape2Rio is a race I’ve been dreaming about doing since I was a kid,” Soldini declared on arrival at Rio. “The right opportunity presented itself this year because in November Maserati was in China for several events there and we had to get her back to New York for our second attempt at the Atlantic record. The start was very tough because of a cold front associated with a deep depression. We started off very cautiously, deliberately under-sailed, and we didn’t push hard at all for the first two days. Unfortunately, there was a horrible accident that really left its mark on the whole race. The minute the wind dropped we hit the accelerator, heading north to skirt the high-pressure area. That put an extra 600 miles on our route but it was worth it. We managed to keep a consistently good gradient, good speed and good wind. Maserati was really at her best and we’re all very happy. Our return to Brazil closes a circle for us, one begun a year ago when we left New York to break the New York-San Francisco record. Maserati has sailed around the world and she’ll soon be ready to get going again too.” |

After the prize-giving Maserati will be going to a yard in St. Petersburg, Florida, for some maintenance work in preparation for her new attempt on the West-East Atlantic record (New York to Lizard Point). A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE Cape2Rio Now on its 14th outing, the Cape2Rio Yacht Race was launched in 1971 in the wake of South African sailor Bruce Dalling’s impressive second place overall and first place in adjusted time finish in the 1968 South Atlantic Single-handed Yacht Race. Dalling became a national hero in an instant and ocean sailing quickly gained huge popularity amongst sailors and enthusiasts in South Africa.

Maserati continues that renowned tradition of excellence each and every day in 65 countries worldwide, through hugely successful luxury cars such as the Quattroporte, GranTurismo, GranCabrio and brand-new Ghibli, whose performance on the road mirrors the achievements of Giovanni Soldini and Maserati on the water.
