SWAN RACING SET FAIR FOR 2000
SWAN CUP 2000, Porto Cervo, Sardinia
Monday, 28th August - Saturday, 2nd September
9th March 2000, Enrico Chieffi, newly appointed Head of The ClubSwan Racing Office, is pleased to announce that the Swan Cup Notice of Race is now available and has been sent to all Swan Owners. "We have already received some 30 advance applications for the Notice of Race following the announcement of the dates in January. Based upon previous experience this is an exceptional response and we expect demand to be as high as ever. A limit of 75 boats has been set, since this is the optimum number for accommodation, moorings and start line action! The first Swan Cup of the new millennium will be a special occasion with the prospect of the Swan 80 and 82RS models making debut appearances."
For those unfamiliar with this fabulous event, now into its 11th edition, the stunning backdrop of Porto Cervo plays host once again to the 5 days of intense competition. Over the years, the full range of Swan yachts have competed for the sought after Swan Cup trophy. In 1998, Hans Eekhof's Swan 60, Innovision 5, won the event with an all star crew which included Russell Coutts on the helm.
The 2000 event has been the subject of refinement and review, and whilst the pinnacle of achievement for any Swan owner will remain the lifting of the Swan Cup, throughout the fleet there will be the opportunity to win a variety of class and day trophies.
