Andy Soriano steered his 68’ Mini-Maxi Alegre to victory in the IMA Mini-Maxi class at Hublot Palmavela, the first regatta of the IMA season in the Mediterranean. Alegre came out of the shed last month after a refit following her 2009 Middle Sea Race win which upgraded the Hall Spars rig, added a new deeper keel and Hall Spars standing rigging, and updated the deck plan to ensure she would start the year competitively against some of the best competition in the world. In particular her performance against the most recent launch in the Mini-Maxi fleet Alfa Romeo confirmed her enhanced competitiveness in this owner-driver competition, winning a Hublot ‘Big Bang’ collected by his son Andrés.
