Sardinia - Veni, vidi, vici

Costa Smeralda, Sardinia - Playground of the rich and fameous

Scorpion RIBs conquest to Sardinia was a success with double sses. Starting with the Dubois Cup 2009 (bi-anual) and followed by The Loro Piana Superyacht Cup 2009 it was a marathon event with lots of RIB driving around the phantastic and majestic fleet of 100+footers.

The pair, consisting of a brand new Scorpion 10 m Sting (630 hp) and a Scorpion 8.5 m luxury open version twin 175 hp, were VIP and press launches in all weather conditions.
Both users and race participants seemed impressed with performance and comfort of these modern and well built RIBs. The press stayed dry despite some days with more than 30 knots of wind and more than 2 meter swells.




This was however a calm day....for the 8.5 m Scorpion
