Match Racing, Cascais in 2014. This April 6th- 8th will see the 5th Stavros Championship..
Calling any “budding” Match Racing Dragon Sailors who would like to join in this years fun in Cascais during April 6th to 8th, just prior to the Juan Carlos Trophy… due to late withdrawals I have space for just two more teams…. 🙂
Pedro Andrade’s “Team” 2014 Winners of the Stavros Match Race Championship.
So if you fancy doing battle against the current World Champion Klaus Diederichs, or perhaps the current European Champion Lars Hendriksen or maybe the Dutch National Champion Pieter Heermea then contact Bruno at the Club Naval de Cascais to see if you can grab one of the two “late entry” places….. Bruno can be contacted by email bsantos@cncascais.com
2012 Winner, Pieter Heerema will be racing with North Sails Theis Palm.
European Champion Lars Hendriksen will be trying to win this 5th Match Race Event!
Other teams taking part this year will be World Champion “Runners Up” RUS 76 “Strange Little Girl” with Dmitry Samokhin at the helm, also GBR 795 Tom Vernon who has come from a very popular and competitive X Boat Class in the Solent, UK.. Tom is quickly adapting to the skills required to make a Dragon go fast, so will be a difficult team to beat on a One to One basis…
“OLYMPIAN” Gustavo Lima who won the 3rd Stavros Match Race event in 2013.
Local hero Gustavo Lima will also be taking part to see if he can take the title back from his close friend Pedro Andrade….
Team “Stavros” will be battling hard, after two runner’s up places it’s time to Win !
With live Irish Music during the Happy Hours after Racing, fuelled with Vodka on Monday 6th and Hendriks Gin on Tues 7th, are you up for the ultimate test of sailing skills, teamwork and high pressure decisions ??
If you are, just let Bruno or I know, a.s.a.p.
Higher, Faster, Longer………….. Stavros.
