Giovanni Soldini’s tips for antifouling paint for your boat. Speedy Carbonium from Veneziani Gruppo Boero is the product we are going to discover in this video! WATCH THE VIDEO TO LEARN ABOUT THE ANTIFOULING USED BY GIOVANNI SOLDINI Go to event

During a visit by Giovanni Soldini to the Boero Group plant (famous among boaters with its Veneziani brand), we took the opportunity to ask the great sailor a few questions on the subject of antifoulings, paints, enamels. What products he uses on his very fast Maserati flying trimaran that can also be used by people who boat for pleasure, the importance of the entire paint cycle in terms of durability and weight savings (and thus greater sailing performance). And again, what are the waters in which algae and “biofouling” become most invasive thus making it necessary to pay more attention to the issue of antifouling. A talk to be listened to carefully and drawn from. The antifouling that John calls “Carbon Speed” in the video is Veneziani’s Speedy Carbonium, a hyper-performing product that you can find HERE.

WHO IS GIOVANNI SOLDINI Italy’s most famous sailor was born in Milan on May 16, 1966, and began sailing as a child. He has 30 years of ocean racing behind him, including two solo round-the-world races (one win and one second place), six Québec-Saint Malo (one win in the monohull class), six Ostar (two wins in the 50-foot class and 40-foot class), three Jacques Vabre (one win in the 40-foot class), and more than 40 trans-oceanic races. Aboard the VOR70 Maserati set the Cadiz-San Salvador record and the Golden Route record by covering the 13,225-mile distance between New York and San Francisco in 47 days, 42 minutes and 29 seconds. In 2015, he set the groundbreaking Tea Route record, covering the distance between San Francisco and Shanghai in just over 21 days. With the trimaran Multi70 Maserati, he set the record on the Hong Kong-London route and recently won line honors in the Rolex Middle Sea Race. Go to event

“What has changed today from when I was going around the world? Everything! There wasn’t even GPS, you were connecting twice a week with an amateur radio operator in Ravenna.” And again, “When I rescued Isabelle Autissier I had a galley full of food, I brought her Italian aperitifs and cheeses, she was amazed accustomed as she was to ‘barbaric’ French food.” In this ninety-minute interview conducted by the Giornale della Vela in collaboration with the Lega Navale Italiana of Milan, he is truly a freewheeling Giovanni Soldini. Italy’s most famous navigator told us about everything. From his thoughts on the Vendée Globe (the solo round-the-world race), “not as unique as it used to be,” to his colleagues Pedote and Beccaria, from his history (from his beginnings in Flying Junior) to his Cuban experience to the round-the-world races that have consigned him to history. All seasoned with anecdotes that reveal Soldini’s unseen side: “The Cape Hornier earring? I made it myself, without ice!” “I have a tractor.” “I love repairing things, I’m a serial repairer.” “Who wouldn’t I take on a boat with me? Salvini and Trump.” Unmissable.
