Salona 34 won North Sea Race

The 2009 edition of the North Sea Regatta was very successful for Salona Yachts: three Salona Yachts in different classes finish as convincing overall winners.

In IRC2 the new Salona 34 'S34' with skipper Erik van Vuuren was superior and won the Yeoman Cup, Fjelsto race and the North Sea Race and became the overall winner IRC 2. The 'S34' that was launched and taken into use by the successful team just a few weeks ago and proved to be a very fast and competitive yacht in all weather conditions.

In ORC1 the Salona 45 'Popov' with skipper and owner Hans Tak won the overall first price and also the Yeoman Cup and Fjelstö race.

In ORC 2 the brand new Salona 37ibc 'Lenco' skippered by owner Nico Brabers won the overall price thanks to two strong sailed offshore races and a second place during the Fjelstö race.

The Delta Lloyd North Sea Regatta is open to IRC and ORC yachts. The 110-mile Vuurschepenrace from Scheveningen to Harwich opens the event. After a rest day in Harwich, the IRC and ORC classes return to the Netherlands on Friday 22 May, sailing the R.O.R.C. North Sea Race. During the Whitsun weekend, from 29 May until 1 June, more than 26 classes race off the Scheveningen coast.
