Melges 24 Teams Prepare To Do Battle for 2009 Italian Open Championship & Volvo Cup Series Event Four

In Cagliari, in the far south of the beautiful island of Sardinia, Italy, the Melges 24 teams are leaving the dock this morning ready to do battle for the 2009 Italian Open Championship and event four in the 2009 Volvo Cup Series.  Our spies on the dock tell us the sun is shining and conditions are perfect for some great sea breeze conditions.  As always the Volvo media team will be on the water videoing and photographing the event so we'll have lots of great coverage for you later today.
