	Balestrieri's Black Tornado at the Trofeo Napoli. At the start Balestrieri is sandwiched between Carlo Bonomi's Andy Pandi and Bill Wishnick's Boss O'Nova II; Wishnick will go on to win this race..
	To the left, the cover of the race program for the 1971 Viareggio-Bastia-Viareggio. To the Right, a nice cloose-up of Balestrieri's modified Cigarette Black Tornado.
	To the left, another image of the Black Tornado at the 1971 Viareggio-Bastia-Viareggio. This "modified" boat could not handle the heavy seas and fell apart forcing it back to the dry-dock for repairs. To the Right, Balestrieri moves to the new Cigarette '36 Black Tornado.
	The title for 1971 is all but assured to Bill Wishnick (right photo) but Balestrieri finds a win at the Baleares; seen here racing with Mondadori's Nicopao IX catamaran.
