Among the week’s class winners have been German yacht Hatari with Owner Marcus Brennecke crowned the new ClubSwan 50 world champion. The Swan 45 worlds was claimed by Lennard van Oeveren’s Dutch entry Motions. Competing for the Gold Cup, Cetilar-Vitamina was the triumphant ClubSwan 36. The same boats also claimed The Nations League 2020 prizes (calculated on combined Swan One Design Worlds and Swan Tuscany Challenge points).
Owners and sailors appreciated the seismic efforts organizers made in ensuring safe competition was possible in the current climate. After a much-disrupted season, the event, attended by 26 yachts, provided a much welcome dose of camaraderie for the Swan family.

ClubSwan 50:
“We are very happy,” explained Hatari owner Marcus Brennecke. “We had lots of fun and showed great crew work – as a team and as individuals. It is a very competitive class with nice people and a good spirit.”

Swan 45:
Two victories and a third in the week’s three races enabled Motions to claim the Swan 45 world title for the first time.
Lennard van Oeveren, Motions owner, was understandably proud. “This is fantastic. We have been building for years and gradually improving our level. We don’t sail with a lot of professionals so it is real Corinthian sailing.”
