Porto Cervo (ITA), 4 – 10 September

Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup winner of the Super Maxi class is the Swan 115 Shamanna!

Speaking with the International Maxi Association, the owner of Shamanna was delighted with their victory:

“We have been training quite a lot and it came together very nicely this time with great crew work. This is a great regatta with all these powerful boats and the scenery is beautiful. I like the coastal races – a lot of things happen in them and there is a lot of interaction when the boats come together.”

The team, lead by Guy Barron, former America’s Cup and round the world race sailor, is a mix of friends and pros.

“Coming to Sardinia, your boat has to get around the course – that is one of the big things. A big hand to the crew and skipper Chris Brand to put this together and not break anything. This is the fourth time I have won at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup and my first time in the Super Maxi class. We’ll definitely come back and do it again.” – Guy Barron.
