THE WINNERS OF THE 39º TROFEO CONDE DE GODO

Fonte: Troféu Conde Godo

Magic Carpet 2 and Roykan 2 in the Wally class, Quantum Racing in the TP52, Ngoni in Soto 40, Nilfisk in J80 and Es Tes Unno, Lone and Si BW Ana in ORC 0,1 and 2.

The Real Club Náutico de Barcelona brings the 39th edition of the competition to an end. More international than ever with an excellent organization both on the water and on land, despite the lack of racing on the final day due to poor wind conditions.

The Wally class honours Magic Capet 2 and Roycan 2

The Wally class rendered homage at the 39th Trofeo Conde de Godo to Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones’ Magic Carpet 2 with Daniel Gallichan helming in Group 1, winning four out of the six races undertaken. Second in the class was Open Season with third place going to J One.

In Group 2 the victory had already been mathematically assigned since Saturday with first place for Phillipe Ligier’s Roycan 2 skippered by L. Olivier. In second place it was Sensei, whilst Spanish team Tiketitoo had to settle for third.

Ed Baird’s Quantum Racing claims the Trofeo Conde de Godó in the TP52

The TP52 class concluded its participation in the Trofeo Conde de Godó with a double draw on the penultimate day of racing. Ed Baird’s Quantum Racing (with Spaniard Juan Vila onboard) climbed the leader board throughout the competition to claim the overall victory of the Trofeo Conde de Godó despite drawing with Alberto Roemmers’ Audi Azzurra who finally took second place. Niklas Zennstrom’s Ran was third.

The Soto 40s flying a British flag

British team Tony Buckingham’s Ngoni helmed by Kevin Spronl is the winner of the 39th Trofeo Conde de Godó with four out of six victories in the class racing.

A lack of racing on the last day meant Torcida’s team was unable to battle it out with Castañer skipper of Luis Martin Cabiedes’ Noticia IV – who finally claimed second place. Agustín Zulueta’s Iberdrola Team with José María Torcida at the helm took the third spot, having been affected by their disqualification on Day One.

ORC winners Es Tes Unno, Lone II and SI BW ANA
The local team for the Real Club Náutico de Barcelona, Francisco Soldevilla’s Es Tes Unno are the proud winners of the 39th Trofeo Conde de Godó in the ORC 0 class, followed by Luis Mas’ Motivel-Quantum and Rafael Carbonell’s Rats on Fire.

New J/80 campaigner and owner of Slam UK, Chris Ducker, steps forward with signficant support for June's event in Dartmouth
Monday February 13th 2012, Author: Becci Eplett, Location: none selected

Slam UK is to be the major sponsorship of the 2012 J/80 World Championship, which will now be 'Powered by Slam'.

The regatta will take place over 9-15 June, jointly hosted by the Britannia Yacht Club, the Royal Dart Yacht Club and the J/80 UK Class Association. Both the Opening Ceremony and the Prizegiving Ceremony for 2012 J/80 World Championship Powered by Slam will take place at Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, Devon.

In addition to significant financial support for the regatta, the partnership with Slam UK will bring style, flair and inimitable glamour to the event, along with real and quantifiable added value for the competitors of the 80 teams due to compete.

Chris Ducker, owner of Slam UK, will also be racing his brand new J/80 at the Worlds. He explained his passion for Slam and his commercial desire to be involved at a grass roots level with the J/80 Worlds: "I am delighted to have an opportunity to work with the Key Yachting team and for Slam to sponsor the 2012 J/80 Worlds; this will certainly be a fantastic event on and off the water. I look forward enormously to sailing and socialising in the J Community throughout the 2012 season."

At the London Boat Show in January, Slam UK was also appointed official clothing partner of Key Yachting Ltd, the UK agent and distributor for the J/80 Sportsboat and for the whole range of yachts by J Boats.

This is the first time Key Yachting has entered in to a partnership of this sort. Paul Heys, Managing Director explained "There is a strong parallel between the design credentials of the Slam technological clothing range and J Boats, not least in the fundamentally intelligent and performance oriented design. I've worn Slam kit on the water for a number of years and it unfailingly delivers the results one expects. This new partnership is great for Key Yachting and it will also prove extremely valuable to our clients during the coming year. Competitors at the 2012 J/80 World Championship Powered by Slam have a real treat in store."

Entries for the 2012 J/80 World Championship are rolling in at serious pace now. The online entry system can be found here. Brittany Ferries has offered discounted pricing for J/80 teams travelling to the UK from the continent.

February may be frosty but the competition in Dartmouth in June is looking hotter than ever.
