After
two days of racing in Vilamoura (South of Portugal), François
Brenac and his french crew have won the Algarve Cup, an ISAF grade
2 event.
The french team beat the Illbruck Challenge team skippered by
Morten Heriksen in the final, after beating Paolo Cian (Malscalzone
Latino Challenge) in the semi final.
This is the first match race regatta for the illbruck Challenge
team that has been training with coach and Match Race Team Manager
Morten Henriksen. The team includes Henriksen on the helm, Gunnar
Knierim on the bow, Arne Wilken trimming and Marc Pickel calling
tactics.
The illbruck match race team will compete on the international
circuit while the illbruck Volvo Ocean Race crew is competing
in the around-the-world race. The match race team will be joined
by Kostecki and other illbruck Challenge race crew as the schedule
permits. Henriksen will continue in a coaching role with the illbruck
race crew following the completion of the Volvo Ocean Race in
June 2002 when the entire sailing team will then focus together
on training for the America's Cup.
