In addition the 8 entries from the Swan 45 Class will be competing for the Swan 45 European Champion title.
The social programme for the week is extensive with an Opening Reception planned for Sunday 10 July at the Royal Yacht Squadron, followed by the PANTAENIUS Owners Dinner at the Royal Yacht Squadron on Tuesday 12 July. The ClubSwan Crew Party will be held at the Cowes Yacht Haven with a red, white and blue theme to match the ClubSwan burgee colours on Wednesday 13 July. The Final Prize Giving will be held on Friday 15 July at the Royal Yacht Squadron.
Enrico Chieffi, Managing Director of Nautor’s Swan commented, ‘Over the last ten years we have enjoyed a wonderful partnership with PANTAENIUS with many aligned objectives. Extending this relationship away from the technical side of our events where we have an obvious fit, into the social sphere enables us to reinforce our association, and connect with our Swan Owners in a relaxed environment’.
Martin Baum, Managing Director of PANTAENIUS added, ‘Our family Swan has been the foundation of my sailing life since I can remember and I am still deeply fascinated with the yachts and the spirit of the Swan family. It is the obvious choice for PANTAENIUS to be part of this family. I have known the owners of these yachts for many years and it is an honor to host this year’s owners’ event’.
