Alinghi's Jochen Schuemann claims
this year’s victory in the Grade 2 Berlin Match
Race event.
It was danish sailing professional Michael Hestbaek
losing all his three final matches against three-time
olympic champion and current America`s Cup winner
Schuemann.
But also second placed Michael Hestbæk representing
‘United Internet Team Germany’ was more than delighted
with the outcome, since he has never before competed
in an international top match race event.
"This is unbelievable", he said. "We
never expected coming that far! It really was an
honor to sail against Jochen Schuemann in the final."
The petit final was decided in a ‘best of three-format’
when Bjoern Hansen of Sweden won both his matches
against Markus Wieser sailing for the hosting Verein
Seglerhaus am Wannsee.
