The last session of trials of the O'Pen Bic World Championship 2017 has been thrilling and filled with adrenaline as the others. The competition among the athletes didn't slack and the desire to sail and win remained strong up to the last trial. It was a great tournament and a good international-level competition for this new class of sailing boat, which has been cutting out a place for itself in both sailing clubs and sailing events all over the world. The O'Pen Bic is a boat both fast and light, ideal for learning how to sail and that has been praised for this by Russell Coutts himself, who was with his son at Circolo Vela Arco.
Starting as a confrontation between Italy and New Zealand alone, the last few days of the competition saw French, Australian, Spanish and Danish athletes reach the top tiers as well, after adapting to the peculiar characteristics of the Garda Lake.
