On Sunday, October 1st, Arca SGR of “Fast and Furio Sailing Team” emerged victorious at the 52nd Bernetti Trophy. This win cements their position as strong competitors for the upcoming Barcolana 55, scheduled for next Sunday, October 8, 2023. Arca SGR employs Armare Ropes’ running rigging.
Armare Ropes will be again at Barcolana on board the super favourite: the maxi 100 Arca SGR of the Fast and Furio Sailing Team, led by Furio Benussi. The prediction was confirmed by the overwhelming victory of the Bernetti Cup, where Arca SGR left the most accredited opponent, Prosecco Doc – Shockwave 3, far behind. Arca SGR definitively leaves behind the unfortunate incident suffered last May during the Tre Golfi Regatta: a breakdown that forced the Maxi 100 to stop for several months. She returned to sailing just a couple of weeks ago, on September 23, at the International Adriatic Sailing Week, winning on her debut.
Now Arca SGR is ready to conquer Barcolana 55. This will be a “long and uphill journey”, said Furio Benussi, but very promising, we add!

See you next Sunday, the start of the race is scheduled for 10:00 a.m.
Arca SGR maxi 100: a leader in sustainability too
The ARCA SGR Maxi Yacht 100 stems from a circular economy initiative, a joint effort by Arca Fondi SGR and Fast & Furio Sailing Team. This collaboration transformed a wreck into one of the world’s top-performing racing boats, showcasing an exceptional blend of performance excellence and environmental mindfulness. Last September, this project earned the vessel the first EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) certification in the naval sector—a testament to its eco-friendly achievements. It’s a source of pride for us that our ropes were selected to equip this magnificent, winning and environmentally conscious vessel.
