The Trophée Clairefontaine de Valencia will be raced on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 September on this natural nautical stadium known worldwide. Eight great champions will be present.
Team Alinghi, winner of the America’s Cup, second of the Trophée Clairefontaine 2007 at La Trinité-sur-Mer (Brittany - France) will welcome the seven other champions on its sailing area, including Michel Desjoyeaux who won his fourth Trophée Clairefontaine last September by one point over the Swiss trio composed by Luc Dubois at the helm, Pierre-Yves Jorand the tactician and Yves Detrey at the manoeuvre. Michel Desjoyeaux is also invited for his victory in the Transat Jacques Vabre last November.
Since its creation, in 1990, the Trophée Clairefontaine is the only event in the world reuniting champions from the different international sailing fields, on equal footing, on spectacular sailing catamarans exclusively designed and used for this purpose (7.65 m catamarans).
