RC44 Regatta 3
44CUP WORLD CHAMPOINSHIP COWES, UK
9 – 13 August 2023
Although Cowes is fairly new on the 44Cup agenda, it has a long and traditional history as a sailing mecca and regatta venue – and accordingly has everything it needs for a perfect event.
Although this venue is absolutely new for the Black Star Sailing Team, this is not the first time we have sailed in the side arm of the English Channel called “The Solent”. The #27, our RC44 racing yacht, was in dry dock in England, from where we were able to test her extensively in the Solent last late summer.
Like all sailing locations, the Solent has its own specific conditions and corresponding challenges. All the more curious, we travelled to England in July, shortly after the 44Cup Marstrand, to do a test sail before the actual training.
At the beginning of August we will start with the actual preparations on site in order to be able to start with the training in the week of 9 August.
As usual, the individual races of the regatta can be followed on TracTrac.com or on the official 44Cup website.
