The Story

I am an Italian professional sailor born in 1980. I started to sail very young in the Optimist class with some good results. Then in the Laser class I have obtained for four consecutive years the title of District Champion and a lot of national and international results: due to them I joined the Italian Olympic Sailing Team (1999-2002).

In 2021 I was the coach of Young Azzurra for the Youth Americas Cup in Auckland. due to the pandemic the event was moved to Gaeta and renamed foiling youth gold cup and Young Azzurra finished with a good second place. I start to be the tactician of the Swan 50 Drifter sail in one of the best circuit in the world.

In 2022 I start sailing with Flyingnikka the first offshore boat full foiling. I was the commentator for the national television during the Barcolana race from the helicopter.

In 2023 I won the iconic Bacardi Cup, the offshore Aegean 600 in Greece and the line honour trophy during the maxi yacht rolex cup in Porto Cervo against the most important boats on the planet. I sailed my first transatlantic winning the ARC+ from Capo Verde to Grenada for a total of 2400 nautical miles.

In 2026, Enrico won the Rolex Swan Cup and the Nations League with Anya Race, and also served as the sports team manager and tactician for the Swan 50 Marlin Cube, achieving strong results despite it being his first season on such a high-level professional circuit.

My goal is to improve and increase my sailing experience by competing with the great champions of the sport of sailing and I hope that my determination will help me to achieve even more prestigious results.
