The story

N°888 is a builder’s boat: the Interceptor 43 of Cantiere Navale Vittoria from Adria, entered in the Prologue with a crew combining international titles and first-hand knowledge of the hull.

Fourth overall on 563 points: proof that the Venezia-Montecarlo attracts not just racers but shipyards keen to test their hulls offshore and over distance.
