Zbraslav is heading to Malta

Prague, 6 August 2015 – on Saturday, 17 October 2015, Benemedo Sailing, two-time winner of the CNR, will once again start at the famous Rolex Middle Sea Race. This was announced today by the Benemedo company. Last year the crew withdrew from the race near the island of Pantelleria, during unfavourable weather conditions after losing most of their sails. To continue to the last pivot point would have been dangerous for the health and lives of the crew. At that time, winds of 40 knots and gusting to excess of 60 knots and up to 7m waves, lead to a significantly reduced starting field, with only 49 of the 117 boats coasting to the finish.
