The passion ignited between Italians and Azzurra with that impressive result was renewed four years later when the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda presented its second challenge for the America’s Cup. This time Azzurra acted as Challenger of Record representing the competing teams. After a few quiet years, Azzurra made a successful comeback in the 2009 / 2010 Louis Vuitton Trophy. 22 | Sponsoring 2012 Officially named ‘Audi Azzurra Sailing Team’, the legendary team then entered the Audi MedCup, the leading professional circuit for inshore fleet racing and one of the most enthralling competitions on the world sailing scene.

His journey towards Olympic glory started at the age of 12, when he competed in the European Championships in an Optimist. PJ decided to enter the Finn class in 2006. He resumed intensive training and made an impressive come-back. PJ achieved regular top 10 finishes in many international races. He won the Dutch Open Championships in Medemblik two consecutive times. And he won the bronze medal during the ISAF World CUP in Hyeres and the PreOlympics in Weymouth. With these fabulous results, PJ secured a place in the official squad of the Dutch Sailing Federation and his second place during the ISAF world championchips in Perth was the icing on the cake.

The history of the event begins in 1939 with only 26 competing boats and very simple set of rules: start in Geneva, race to the buoy on the other side of the lake at Le Bouveret and get back as quick as possible. Over time, the rules of the regatta have remained just as straightforward but the event itself has grown to become one of the most popular nautical festivals in the world. The Bol D’Or attracts some of the best skippers on the planet and also rolls out the blue carpet for amateurs. They get a unique chance to race against renowned international professionals. The climax of the The Bol D’Or traditionally takes place at the prestigious yacht club of lake Geneve, le Société Nautique de Genève, where winners in all classes receive their much deserved honor. 36 | Sponsoring 2012 event Sponsoring 2012 Sponsoring | 37 Coastal sailing 1 4 2 38 3 | GX - 02 2012 Coastal sailing 1 Cascais Adjustable Bomber Jacket • 2-LAYER TORAY FABRIC • RIRI AQUA® ZIPPER • ADJUSTABLE CUFFS AND HEM ART.NR: 46120621 SIZES XS-XL COLORS: 239 200 WoMen 202 2 Cowes Breathable (8.000/24 hrs), water- and windproof (10.000 mm) coastal jackets, made of 2-layer Toray or softshell fabric, equipped with 3M™ Scotchlite™ prints and badges for your safety.

The Jethou, owned and driven by Sir Peter Ogden, has already delivered many impressive results in the Mediterranean inshore circuit. The experienced crew, including Brad Butterworth, Stuart Branson and Ian Budgen, managed to rack up a string of excellent finishes in famous regattas such as the Palma Vela, Copa del Rey, Les Voiles de St. Tropez, the Maxi Rolex World Championship and the Giraglia Rolex cup. Ironically, the most impressive prize it has won so far, has got nothing to do with speed. The Jethou was pronounced ‘best looking IRC boat of the year!’ by Seahorse magazine.

A prestigious regatta on one of the French Leeward islands of the Lesser Antilles. With a total area of only 21 square kilometers and a population of less than 9,000, it is hard to imagine that Saint Barth could host a world class event. But according to renowned professional sailors, Les Voiles de Saint Barth is going to be one of the main events of the Caribbean yachting calendar in the years to come. In April the conditions around Saint Barth are ideal for racing. The trade wind, ranging from 17 to 32 knots, will challenge even the most experienced crews. The ocean around the island offers excellent possibilities to set-up various types of courses; short coastal runs, Olympic type courses and even an ‘around the island’ race. In 2011, the second edition of this regatta already counted about 400 competitors on nearly 50 yachts in 5 different classes. A staggering increase compared to the 23 boats in the first edition. Les Voiles de St. Barth has certainly etched out a place in the growing list of “must do” Caribbean regatta’s. 68 | Sponsoring 2012 event Sponsoring Jim Swartz Vesper, Racing class winner Jerry Kirby, bowma n Rambler 100, Maxi class winner ”Today’s race was fantastic. We went around the island, and it was very challenging; I think we used most of the sails in our inventory. It was a great day to be on the water. -- I’ll always come back to St. Barth; any time I have a chance I’ll be back.” “It’s fantastic! It reminds me of Antigua in the ‘70s. Anybody that isn’t at this regatta is missing probably the coolest regatta in the Caribbean. It’s got that feeling -- it’s not crowded, it’s very intimate, and it’s unbelievable racing.” 2012 Sponsoring | 69 70 | CREW 2012 2012 CREW | 71 HEAD OFFICE Gaastra PRO Gear B.V.
