My sincere wishes to the organizers of this stage, that they repeat their consolidated success this year and in the years to come” – declares Vincenzo Iaconianni, President of the Italian Motorboating Federation.
“Everything is ready for the third stage of the Italian Jet Ski Championship in Ancona, a location that can be easily reached from all over Italy and is very convenient for a jet ski race, with a huge square. Thanks again to the Amici del mare organization, in collaboration with H2 O of Piscaglia and Benini, this allows us to take advantage of a very high level of competence. Also in this stage over 120 athletes are expected, the organizer is committed to conveying a large audience to the tourist port of Marina Dorica, where the event will take place. It will be a weekend full of initiatives throughout that area, so the audience will certainly be very large. We’re starting to get to the heart of things, with this stage, the rankings for all the classes are starting to be sorted out. The parade of all the pilots of the F1, Runabout and Ski classes before the heats, organized by the FIM Watercraft Commission, will be very impressive. The parade is a moment of very high ethical, moral and sporting value, because it conveys all the greatest references of the Federation.” – declares Giorgio Viscione, President of the Watercraft Commission of the Italian Powerboat Federation.
The setup of all the competition fields is managed by the organizers of the relevant events.
