Source text - Italian «Mangiare bene vuol dire mangiare in modo intelligente; mangiare bene ci rende felici». Elio Sironi ha plasmato la sua idea di cucina su questo pensiero. E davanti a un piatto dei suoi tonnarelli alla bottarga, c’è da credergli sulla parola. Chef di Ceresio 7 a Milano ed executive chef della tenuta Castiglion del Bosco a Siena, Sironi d’estate è al timone del suo ristorante Madai di Porto Cervo, con vista sul Porto Vecchio. I suoi piatti prendono forma dalle diverse tradizioni territoriali italiane ma non disdegnano un tocco internazionale, scegliendo il meglio dalle numerose esperienze fatte all’estero (in Germania, Svizzera, Stati Uniti, Giappone e Spagna). Il risultato è una cucina fantasiosa, senza dubbio di stampo mediterraneo, ma reinterpretata in chiave contemporanea. Soprattutto, in ogni preparazione il piacere del gusto è legato a doppio filo alle intrinseche proprietà dei prodotti, sempre selezionati con metodica attenzione. Qui, in Sardegna, a fare da padroni sono le specialità di pesce e gli ingredienti locali: basti citare il pecorino al cucchiaio con rabarbaro, cipolle e pomodorini o i famosi tonnarelli alla bottarga, cacio, lime e pepe, o il rombo campidanese con patata soffice, timo e olive.
Translation - English “Eating well means eating intelligently; eating well makes us happy.” Elio Sironi’s concept of food is based on this principle and you can take his word for it over one of his plates of spaghetti with mullet roe. Chef at Ceresio 7 in Milan and executive chef at the Castiglion del Bosco estate in Siena, in the summer months Sironi is to be found at the helm of his Madai restaurant in Porto Cervo, overlooking the Porto Vecchio. His plates are rooted in the culinary traditions of the various Italian regions with an international twist added thanks to his time spent in Germany, Switzerland, the United States, Japan and Spain. The result is an imaginative style of cooking, undeniably Mediterranean, but with a contemporary reinterpretation. Above all the flavours of every dish are linked to the intrinsic properties of its ingredients, which are always selected with care. Here in Sardinia fish and seafood specialities and local products take pride of place, such as pecorino cheese with rhubarb, onion and cherry tomatoes; or his renowned spaghetti with mullet roe, cheese, lime and pepper; or Campidano turbot with soft potatoes, thyme and olives.

Source text - Italian Lo YCCS, relativamente a questa iniziativa, si è sottoposto ad un processo di audit da parte di SDA Bocconi Sustainability Lab, che ha proceduto nella valutazione della condizione attuale della struttura e delle attività interne ed esterne, ai fini della realizzazione di un report di sostenibilità. Dall’analisi, sono stati rilevati vari punti di forza, ad esempio l’energia elettrica ricavata interamente da fonti rinnovabili, la prevenzione dello scarico di prodotti e sostanze nel porto, i nuovi terminali (colonnine) per la distribuzione di acqua ed elettricità fino all’attenzione riservata verso i prodotti locali e le stagionalità. Nonostante le attività del Club siano risultate già molto improntante al rispetto ambientale, bisogna ancora migliorare. Innanzitutto si è evidenziata la necessità di un approccio strutturato con politiche organizzative e un maggiore impegno nell’informazione e sensibilizzazione interna ed esterna. Non solo, nel piano di azione si consiglia di adottare sistemi di gestione e marchi di qualità ecologica.
Translation - English As part of this initiative YCCS has undergone an audit from the SDA Bocconi Sustainability Lab in which the current practices of the structure and its internal and external activities were assessed. Several positive points emerged from the analysis, such as electrical energy supplied entirely from renewable sources, prevention of any dumping of products or substances in the port, new water and electrical current terminals and a bias towards local and seasonal products. Even though the Club’s activities are already geared towards protecting the environment, improvements need to be made. Above all a structured approach with organisational policies and greater efforts dedicated towards internal and external awareness and information sharing.

Source text - Italian La prima selezione del 2017 organizzata dallo Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, si svolge a Porto Cervo: dodici gli equipaggi al via; oggi i team hanno provato campo di regata e monotipi J/70 in vista dell'avvio delle regate, previsto per domani mattina alle 11.00 con previsioni di vento oltre i 20 nodi. Gli equipaggi sono stati inseriti in un tabellone composto da 30 prove totali: l'algoritmo di costruzione della formula utilizzata fa sì che tutti si scontrino contro tutti gli avversari in regate a bastone brevi e combattute, prove che vedono al via sei equipaggi per match.
"Dopo il kickoff del 2015 e un entusiasmante 2016 - ha dichiarato il Presidente della Lega Italiana Vela, Roberto Emanuele de Felice - siamo pronti per una nuova stagione LIV che dalla Sardegna ci porterà a Trieste, per poi raggiungere Crotone nella finale nazionale di ottobre. Al via in questa prima tappa di Porto Cervo dodici equipaggi: le condizioni meteo attese esalteranno la formula che utilizziamo per regatare; ci aspettiamo grande spettacolo e agonismo in regata da parte dei Club: saranno tre giornate di grande vela italiana".
Translation - English The first qualifying event of 2017 is organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in Porto Cervo and sees 12 teams participating. Competitors had the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the regatta course and the J/70 boats during practise today while racing proper will get underway at 11 a.m. tomorrow, with winds of over 20 knots forecast. A round robin formula ensures that each team will race against all of the others over the course of 30 short and highly competitive windward-leeward races with 6 boats on the starting line each time.
"After the kickoff in 2015 and an exciting 2016,” declared Roberto Emanuele de Felice, President of the Italian Sailing League, “we are ready for a new season that will take the Italian Sailing League from Sardinia to Trieste and on to Crotone for the national final in October. Twelve teams are competing in this first leg and the forecast weather conditions should be excellent for this type of racing; we expect spectacular and competitive performances from the clubs: these will be three days of great Italian sailing.”

Source text - French En raison du fort Mistral annoncé pour demain, mercredi 26 juillet, le programme des courses a été modifié. Le Raid Côtier de l’Acte 8 sera lancé à 13h30. L’arrivée se jouera en rade de Marseille aux environs de 16h.
Le sprint final est bel et bien lancé dans le 40ème Tour de France à la Voile alors qu’il ne reste plus que deux Actes, à Marseille et à Nice, pour départager les équipages. Très accrochée, la lutte pour la victoire finale est loin d’être la seule à suivre à quatre jours d’un dénouement particulièrement incertain.
L’an dernier, avant d’attaquer les deux derniers Actes en Méditerranée (Hyères et Nice), la victoire semblait déjà promise au Team Lorina Limonade – Golfe du Morbihan. L’équipage de Quentin Delapierre et Matthieu Salomon avait en effet 55 points d’avance sur ses premiers poursuivants. Changement de scénario cette année puisque les neuf premiers du classement general se tiennent en 51 points. Le leader Fondation FDJ - Des Pieds et Des Mains n’a qu’un matelas de 14 points d’avance sur son dauphin, le Team SFS, et de 16 points sur Trésors de Tahiti, 3e.
Les rebondissements étant quasiment quotidiens dans cette 40ème édition d’exception, le jeu reste très ouvert pour la victoire finale, d’autant que les points compteront double samedi à Nice, pour l’ultime journée en Stades Nautiques.
Translation - English Due to the strong Mistral winds predicted for tomorrow, Wednesday 25th July, the race start time has been changed. The Act 8 Coastal Raid will get underway at 1.30 p.m. with the finish expected to take place off Marseille’s waterfront at around 4 p.m.
This 40th edition of the Tour de France a la Voile is well into the home straight with only the final two Acts in Marseille and Nice remaining to decide the winning teams. The battle for first place overall will be a hard-fought one, but it will by no means be the only one unfolding over the next four days.
At this stage of the 2016 Tour, Lorina Limonade –Golfe du Morbihan was already practically assured victory as the team skippered by Quentin Delapierre and Matthieu Salomon headed into the final two Mediterranean Acts (Hyères and Nice) with a 55-point lead over their closest rivals. The situation is decidedly different this year as only 51 points separate the top nine boats in the overall classification. Leaders Fondation FDJ – Des Pieds et Des Mains, hold a slim 14-point lead over Team SFS in second place and are 16 points clear of Tresors de Tahiti in third.
Ranking changes have been an almost daily occurrence in this exceptional 40th edition of the event and all is yet to play for at the top of the scoreboard given that double points will be awarded for Saturday’s Nautical Stadium Final in Nice.
