Alfa Romeo takes 74th and final win!

Article Summary

UPDATED: November 3, 2004 Alfa Romeo has sailed its last race in Europe, ending its second season with a win in one of the most remarkable yacht races in history. In winning the Mediterranean's classic offshore event, the Rolex Middle Sea Race, the Alfa Romeo crew suffered gastric flu, being becalmed for hours on end, a man overboard and finally being capsized and destroying over US$200,000 of sails. Despite it all, the all-star crew overcame all obstacles and brought the boat home first. Owner Neville Crichton has announced plans to launch a new yacht in July 2005 so advanced it will outperform the global competition in the same way Alfa Romeo has done for the last two years.
