The SAILING Champions League (SCL) and the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS) are pleased to announce their collaboration for an event in 2015. YCCS will organize and host the SAILING Champions League Final in its European home waters in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, from 18th to 20th September 2015.
Riccardo Bonadeo, YCCS Commodore is looking forward to the inaugural edition of the regatta in Porto Cervo: "We are very pleased to be part of this exciting new format which encourages competitive racing between clubs and in which we see great potential. As hosts of the final of the SAILING Champions League, it will be an honour for us to welcome an international fleet of teams representing yacht clubs from all over Europe to the waters of the Costa Smeralda."
Joachim Hellmich, Project Manager of the SAILING Champions League is excited about the first visit of the SCL in Porto Cervo: "The YCCS was happy to hold an SCL event in 2015 and we decided to partner with them right away at the premiere in Copenhagen in October. So we are very pleased to bring the SCL to Porto Cervo at the unique location of the YCCS. For me, it's the third time in Porto Cervo and I'm looking forward it - but this time not as a sailor."
