PRIMO CUP 2009

Primo Cup 2009 was well supported in its 25th year of the event. 13 Nationalities and 43 teams took part in the Dragon Class.

With its dedicated race area and expert race management headed by Tony O’ Gorman it was a pity the wind could not have been steadier and more races finished. Tony and his team could not have done more; sometimes the conditions are just against you.

With consistent results at the head of the fleet congratulations for the overall victory go to RUS 27 ANNAPURNA LOGINOV Anatoly, SHALAGIN Alexander and KIRILYUK Andrey

Also consistent in their new “ out of the box” Petticrow were the Danish team of MEN AT WORK DEN 393
CHRISTENSEN Jens, ANDERSEN Kim and JENSEN Lars

Jens has approval to test the all Spectra runners and backstay recently passed by the IDA but rejected by ISAF. First comments and feeling from Jens are positive. Something to check out at the next races.

Chris Dicker from the UK in Kuling was a very close third on the podium sailing with his son Mark and Arthur.

Most teams are now moving to Cannes for the Regattas International in two weeks as preparation for the rest of the season.
