Swan – Nations Trophy – Palma de Mallorca | 14-18 September 

Saturday 18^th September. A total of 14 countries represented by 29 boats in three classes were in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, to compete in the Nations Trophy. It was the culmination of a thrilling four-meeting season, with Yacht Club de Monaco members out in force alongside Olympic sailors and America’s Cup winners.  

A breeze and changeable weather forecasts promised tight races. However, the variable conditions were no problem for Giangiacomo Serena di Lapigio on G-Spot who clinched 2^nd in the Swan 36. In the Swan 50, Leonardo Ferragamo (Cuordileone) came 6^th.  

In the same category, Dmitry Rybolovlev (Sparti) finished 4^th, a good result following his superb victory in the Rolex Fastnet race on Skorpios, a ClubSwan 125. Dmitry Rybolovlev was also at the Yacht Club de Monaco on Monday 20^th September to present HSH Prince Albert II with the trophy he won in that nearly century-old race.
