About

Alberto, born in Turin, has a degree in philosophy and the sea in his DNA. At 19, he built a dinghy and crossed the Tyrrhenian Sea. Ocean racing is his goal: at 23, he discovered the Mini 6.50 and in 2013, he finished 5th in his first Mini Transat. In 2017 he participated in the Transat Jacques Vabre, but had to retire in 6th place. He also sails as a tactician and navigator in the Mediterranean on different boats. In 2019 he decided to enter the "school of the greats": La Solitaire du Figaro. The only Italian to enter, he finished 7th in the novice class, and the following year he finished 16th overall.

For me, the RdR 2022 will be the culmination of a journey in ocean racing that began in 2013 with the first Minitransat. I couldn't have wished for a better start to my new Class 40 project for the next three years involving a mythical race such as the RdR, especially as my boat will be of the latest generation class! I am looking forward to sharing the atmosphere and magic of this race with my partners!
