The "Genoa Jib" (Coppa del Tirrenio) got its start on the 6mR "Cora IV" constructed in 1925 for owner G. Roggero during the winter races in Genoa in 1926. This was a big success because Cora IV was clearly the victor. When Panario accepted an invitation to Denmark for the Copenhagen International Races, which he excellently won as well, the King of Denmark, Christian X, praised him and dubbed him "the first skipper of Europe.
