Trophee Clairefontaine de Valencia lineup

'The Swiss Luc Dubois from Team Alinghi missed the victory by only one point after the nine legs of the 2007 Trophée Clairefontaine. The winners of the America’s Cup are looking forward to make up this lost point and even more this year' Jean-Marie Liot - SailingOne

The nineteenth edition of the Trophée Clairefontaine of Sailing Champions is being prepared at Valencia (Spain) in the Marina Real Juan Carlos 1st, i.e. inside the harbour which hosted the competitors of the 2007 America's Cup and more recently the F1 European Grand Prix.

The Trophée Clairefontaine de Valencia will be raced on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 September on this world-famous and natural nautical stadium. Eight great champions will be racing.

Two crews from Team Alinghi, winner of the last America's Cup: one crew with at its helm the Amercian Ed Baird and the other with at its helm the Swiss Luc Dubois will welcome the six other champions on their nautical stadium, including the Frenchman Michel Desjoyeaux who won his fourth Trophée Clairefontaine last September. Michel Desjoyeaux is also invited for his victory in the 2007 Transat Jacques Vabre.
