Star Sailors League Nassau – LIVE FEED – December 3-6 2014

Born From Sailors For Sailors (SSL’motto)

December 3-6 2014 Nassau – The Star Sailors League is a new sports promotion company headquartered in Lausanne, the Olympic world capital. In the space of a single year, the company has supported and organised events in Italy, Switzerland, the United States and the Bahamas.

Its ultimate goal is to be able to stage SSL races globally using a company-owned fleet of 30 International Star Class boats within a few years. These will not only be sent around the world for SSL events, but will also be chartered by top athletes and rookies wishing to participate in other Star Class events. The SSL will organise training camps to help integrate rookies with the existing sailing legends. Top athletes will always be present during these camps.
