ALL EVENT INFORMATION


Men and women racing together is changing the game but looking at the podium in Palma, experience from the Tokyo 2020 Games seems to have helped. Behind Xammar, the Olympic bronze medallist, was a new Italian duo of Olympians, old friends from Rome Giacomo Ferrari and Bianca Caruso (ITA) who took silver. In bronze were the French team of Kevin Peponnet (Men’s World Champion in 2018) and Aloise Retornaz (Women’s Olympic bronze medallist from Tokyo 2020). “It’s so good to win, and even better to win in Spain,” said Xammar, who arrived at the event fresh from skippering Team Spain in the SailGP competition in San Francisco, USA. “Jordi is so great to sail with,” said Brugman. “We have made a great start to our campaign and we’re loving every moment of sailing together.”

Congratulations!
