Italian term or phrase: vittoria parziale
Hi,
not being much of a sailor, I'm not quite sure what this phrase means withing the context of a regatta. The whole sentence explains that a particular yacht was 'protagonista di una serie di ottime regate con una vittoria parziale all'attivo'. Does this mean that they have won one round? I hope someone can enlighten me!

disagree  marinagil: It could be the 6th victory in 9 races, whatever! Technically, a 'partial victory' means s'one placed 1st in partial results so far.
