A great success for Grand Soleil Yachts at the historic offshore race Tre Golfi 2026, one of the most prestigious and demanding competitions on the international sailing calendar.
In particularly challenging weather conditions, marked by long periods of light winds and decisive tactical choices along the course between Procida and Ischia, *Black Pekoe 3*, a Grand Soleil 52 Race owned by Ernesto Folli, stood out for performance, strategy, and determination.
After 130 nautical miles of racing, the team secured first place in Class 0 in the offshore ranking, outperforming a highly competitive fleet and once again confirming the sporting capabilities of the Grand Soleil 52 Race project.
The success of Black Pekoe 3 represents an important achievement for Ernesto Folli and his crew, who perfectly interpreted the complex conditions of the Gulf of Naples, turning every tactical decision into a decisive advantage.
The victory at Tre Golfi adds another prestigious chapter to the sporting history of the Grand Soleil 52 Race, a model that continues to stand out on the world’s most important racecourses thanks to its balance of speed, reliability, and comfort.
Congratulations to Ernesto Folli and the entire crew of Black Pekoe 3 for this outstanding result.
