	Agostino Straulino - Comment - Times Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Straulino and his partner Nico Rode were nonetheless confident of the gold, and indeed finished first in four of the seven races, but they were dismasted in another and subsequently lost two of their victories to protests, one of which Straulino always maintained was politically motivated by the British umpires.
		Straulino was originally told to work the sails for an older cadet, but he was a natural skipper, and in their first race seized the helm after cutting a hand so severely that his partner almost fainted.
		Straulino’s foot was gravely injured when he was struck by the propeller of a British warship, but the limpet mines his men placed sank five vessels, and Straulino was awarded a medal for gallantry.

	Encyclopedia: Agostino Straulino
		Agostino Straulino (born October 10, 1914, Lussinpiccolo (island of Lussino); died Rome, December 14, 2004) won one Olympic gold medal and one silver medal in the starboat class, won eight consecutive European championships and two world championships in this class and was world champion in the 5.5m_class.
		Straulino gained his first sailing experiences as a child on the Istrian coast of the northern Adriatic sea.
		He later attended the naval academy at Leghorn and embarked on a naval career during which he was commanding officer of the Italian training vessel Amerigo Vespucci for some time and eventually rose to the rank of a Rear Admiral.

	Agostino Straulino
		Agostino Straulino was born at Lussinpiccolo on the island of Lussino in Dalmatia on Oct. 10, 1914 into a family with a longstanding seagoing tradition.
		After getting his diploma at the Instituto Nautico, Straulino was given a small sailboat by his father and, best of all, two years of “liberty” during which he traveled in the boat through the Dalmatian islands, becoming in harmony with his elements, the sea and wind.
		He lost the gold medal in a dismasting 100 meters from the finish of the final race and also due to a “flagrantly unjust” disqualification due to political motives of a judge.

	AGOSTINO STRAULINO & NICOLO RODE
		Agostino Straulino and Nicolo Rode made up an unbeatable team during the mid-1950’s.

		The team of Straulino and Rode also won the Olympic Gold Medal in 1952 and the Olympic Silver Medal in 1956.

		Straulino had eight consecutive Star European Championships (1949-1956), two world championships (1952-1953), a gold medal at Helsinki in 1952 (which topped an incredible year - Italian, European, World and Olympic champion), and another world title in 1956 following a silver at the Melbourne Olympics.
		In 1965 Straulino assumed command of the tall ship Amerigo Vespucci, and also managed to win the 5.5 Meter World title in Naples, while the ship was in port and all the sailors were celebrating his win.
		Then he cruised and raced with Navy school ships, participating in the TransPacific of 1961 with Corsaro II and, in 1973, won the One Ton Cup at Porto Cervo and then the prestigious Giraglia with Ydra..

		Bello kept Faneca going fast to finish third, but de Cardenas, not content to settle for second, caught and passed Straulino near the finish to win by 10 seconds and set the frantic pace which he was to maintain all week.
		Agostino Straulino won 6 races out of 10 during the 1952 and 1953 Gold Star Series, to say nothing of countless other important races in his long Star career In short, he is quite accustomed to rounding the first mark first.
		Straulino was thus fourth again with Parks fifth, Lyon sixth, and then Nordio, who had taken Series third in 1953.

		Straulino was an Italian naval diver who competed in six Olympics and dominated dinghy racing in the 1950s.
		In 1946, the harbour of Taranto in southern Italy was rocked by an explosion which injured frogmen engaged in clearing the port of mines and Straulino was initially rendered utterly blind by the blast.
		Upon resuming sailing he began to refine his other senses to compensate for his lack of sight, training mostly at night, saying that what was important was to pay attention to the state of the sea and the strength and direction of the wind.

	Star of the 1930’s through 1960’s
		Star # 1224, Sheat, to the left of the picture, is skippered by Agostino Straulino, at the time a midshipman at the Regia Accademia Navale.
		As was seen earlier in the picture of Bill Inslee’s Taurus which appeared in the 1924 Log, the idea of both the skipper and crew hiking out by laying down on the rail was a technique of long standing in the Star Class.
		Only three boats went from the U.S. Here is Stan Ogilvy’s Spirit, # 1776, followed by Agostino Straulino’s Polluce, # 1540, sailing past a German cruiser during the Championship.

	Gibraltar
		In July 1942 several swimmers, lead by the former champion yachtsman Agostino Straulino, were smuggled into Spain.
		On the night of September 15th, Straulino, Di Lorenzo and Giari defied the increased British watch and sunk the 1,787-ton Raven’s Point.
		The operation was not a full success and demonstrated that surveillance in the harbor had been dramatically improved.

		IN 1946, the harbour of Taranto in southern Italy was rocked by an explosion, which burst upon a detachment of frogmen engaged in clearing the port of mines.
		In 1938, he won his first European title, at Kiel, and the next year was runner-up in the World Championship.
		Later in the war he fought with Yugoslav partisans against the Germans, and when captured was set free by an officer he had raced against at Kiel.

		The generally light weather suited their own body weights and Australian crew, John Forbes, who with skipper Darren Bundock, was the pre-series favourite for gold, said, "There was no answer to this." Bundock and Forbes took silver while the bronze went to Germany's Roland Gaebler and Rene Schwall.
		There was particular delight for Alessandra Sensini of Italy who won her country's first gold medal since 1952, when the legendary Agostino Straulino won in the Stars at Helsinki.
		Sensini's medal came with a final race victory in the women's Mistrals which enabled her to beat the early leader, Amelie Lux of Germany.

		It may be difficult to establish whether an expression such as "salire il gradino più alto del podio" (to climb onto the highest step of the podium") would sound "native-like" if translated literally (Figure 2):
		L'ammiraglio Straulino, con a prua Niccolo' Rode, negli anni 50 vince tre campionati mondiali, dieci europei, sale il gradino piu' alto del podio alle Olimpiadi finlandesi del 1952 e quattro anni dopo conquista la medaglia d'argento ai giochi olimpici australiani.
		In lines 3, 4, and 5 we find the phrase "medal podium" and in line 22 "two Americans stood on the winner's podium." A translator may thus decide to use this information and write, for example, that "Admiral Straulino...
