    "I am very satisfied. The result of the work of these years is there for all to see. It has been a very long process of research and development: through records, round the world, and competitions we have continued to look for solutions, and the boat has gradually reached a maturity that allows it to fly stably and safely with a performance that is clearly superior - at least in these conditions - to that of its rivals who have been following the same path for years and use the latest generation of foils. The aerodynamic and kinetic progress made over the last year, thanks to the contribution of the Maserati Innovation Lab engineers and designer Guillaume Verdier, is evident, he added.

    Soldini’s team overtook their rivals Argo and PowerPlay. Peter Cunningham's PowerPlay was skippered by Ned Collier Wakefield grabbed second place, while Jason Carroll's Argo skippered by Brian Thompson managed to get the third spot.

    Winning the race marks the beginning of a new season of great technical and sporting challenges for Soldini and the entire team of Maserati Multi70 to safeguard the oceans.

    Soldini has joined the Ocean Literacy program, promoted by UNESCO, which aims at increasing awareness and knowledge about the sea. 

    In addition, the trimaran will also be transformed into an oceanographic laboratory for the scientific community. Maserati as the main sponsor not only gives its name to the boat but also collaborates with Soldini in the process of transferring technological know-how applied to the "laboratory boat".
