Guilia Conti has been on the Zhik Team sailing 470’s with fellow Italian Giovanna Micol for many years. They consistently ranked in the top 3 in the ISAF world rankings, coming from some very consistent results in Olympic and World Championship regattas and narrowly missed out on a medal in London after a solid performance. Conti has now teamed up with Francesca Clapich on the new 49er FX Class. They have their eyes set on Rio in 2016 and a Gold Medal for Italy.
