December 6, 2014 Nassau, Bahamas
After three days of elimination rounds, the second Star Sailors League Grand Finale took place today with the top 11 teams from the initial 20-strong fleet.
Team USA Mendelblatt/Fatih wins the Star Sailors League final in a close battle with Sweden’s Loof/Ekstrom and Poland’s Kusznierewicz/Zycki all finishing within seconds of each other.
Star Sailors League “The SSL Finals delivered superbly competitive sailing that showcased the world’s finest talents and also added an important new chapter to the history of the sport because of the novelties introduced this year by the Star Sailors League, not least Virtual Eye 3D sports graphics. A spectacular event for which thanks must go to the hugely committed organisers, the Nassau Yacht Club for its hospitality and the beautiful backdrop of the Bahamas itself.”
