Countdown to Swan 45 Worlds

13 August 2008

One of the most important one design championships, the Swan 45 Worlds will take place from 8-14 September, organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda.

With 23 teams from ten nations registered, the Swan 45 Worlds promise an intense week of racing for the international fleet.

Reigning champion Alex Roepers (USA) will travel to Porto Cervo to defend Plenty’s title to the Swan 45 Gold Cup. With Bill Hardesty and the experienced Plenty crew onboard, it promises to be a tough battle for the prestigious Asprey trophy.

Fleet leaders DSK-Comifin will be fresh from their win at the Copa del Rey and are expected to benefit from sailing in their home waters with tactician Chris Larson and team manager Andrea Casale onboard with owner Danilo Salsi.

With teams from as far afield as Finland and Japan competing, the true ClubSwan spirit will prevail throughout the six days of racing.
