Description
Ex – Bluenext (ITA-217), is ready for race with an excellent results in Italian Circuit. She has a very large suite of sails all in good condition along with a double axel trailer. Well maintained, she is ready for her next campaigning season.
There is one thing to highlight, and that is that the boat has, mainsail, jib1 jib2 2023, practically new. Even the 2021 ones, mainsail, jib1, jib2, jib3 and asym spi 2022 have very little use. These boats in Italy, do 4 races a year, plus the world championship, they do 5 races. Especially on Lake Garda, in Hayola, the wear on the material is very low.
