A Team from the Yacht Club of Santa Catarina of Brazil came all the way to Germany to participate in the Sydbank Cup regatta north around the danish island of Sealand from Kiel -> Copenhagen and Copenhagen -> Kiel.
A perfect regatta for the X41 class with 4 competing X41 at the start in Kiel on Wednesday, 15th August 2018 at 19CEST. The Sydbank Cup is a fantastic regatta around a beautiful part of the Danish seas. The race is split up in 2 parts of around 17-24h sailing or 150-200sm and one full day off for networking with other sailors at the very well organised social events, analysing and planning for the next part, relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere of Copenhagen, Denmark's capital. The weather usually provides some sort of challenging wind conditions in and around Denmark and the Kieler Bight and provides perfect conditions for the sailors to show their sailing skills.
