| GrandOptical Match Racing Champions Cup - New Team Racing Championship debuting at Lake Ledro in Optimist |
| RIVA DEL GARDA-(26-8-2002) The club national champions of fourteen European countries are assembled in
Italy for a unique new competition. As in the earliest days of international
sailing (like the Americas' Cup) teams represent clubs not countries. Each
must have qualifed in a national inter-club championship and be made up club
members only.
Magnificent four-year sponsorship by eyeware retailer GrandOptical has
enabled free entry, accommodation and charter for all teams. Prizes include
four brand-new boats for the winning clubs. The world-class umpire team is
headed by Luciano Giacomi.
The venue is the very beautiful alpine Lake Ledro, high above Garda, which
is being developed by the F.V. Riva as a specialised team and match racing
centre.
