Duccio Colombi
General management
Founder of Phi!Number, Duccio has dedicated his life to sports training and competitive preparation. As tactician and helmer ee has won 12 Italian championships in different sailing classes, 2 European championships and 4 world championships in different sailing classes. All of these results were achieved with non-professional crews. In 2012 Duccio was awarded the CONI Gold Medal for Athletic Valor.
The experience as a coach in the field of martial arts has led him to develop the necessary method to increase technical and mental potential of athletes and sports teams. A winning approach which he then applied in all subsequent sports and business projects.
Collaborator of the most authoritative sailing magazines in the world, Duccio has published columns on the regatta techniques, boat setting and preparation of racing teams with Yachting World in England, Spain and Italy, Il Giornale della Vela, Barche a Motore and Mainsail Magazine. He’s the author of Lo Skiff, best-selling manual on foiling dinghies in Italy, published by Mursia.
Thanks to the experience gained as athlete and coach on skiffs, Duccio has become the reference point for many professional athletes. He founded and directed the first school in Italy dedicated uniquely to foiling boats, bringing dozens of athletes to the highest competition levels and organising among the most important international events dedicated to skiffs.
The most recent successes are associated to the world of one-design and offshore sailing in the ORC class where technique, method, planning, meticulous preparation, optimisation of the boat and crew are fundamental elements for achieving results.
Duccio and his team today are the point of reference for many owners and racing crews, offering a service capable of managing, coordinating, directing and planning the competitive seasons of their customers.
