Bol d’Or Mirabaud 2013 Polo shirt by Gaastra Pro, Limited Edition
Annually held and organised since 1939 by the Société Nautique de Genève (SNG), Switzerland’s largest yacht club, the renowned Bol d’Or sailing regatta on Lake Geneva (Lake Léman) celebrates its 75th anniversary this year. As the official supplier of Bol d’Or Mirabaud 2013, Europe’s largest regatta in enclosed waters, set to fire up on June 14th and running until June 16th, Gaastra created an exclusive Polo Shirt Limited Edition for women and men! The first Bol d’Or Regatta was held in 1939 and started on June 18th with 26 participants – F. Firmenich won with its Ylliam IV in 23:08’34”. The current time record of 5:01′:51″ for the 66,5 nautical miles course Geneva – Le Bouveret – Geneva has been set by Peter Leuenberger on the trimaran Triga 4 in 1994.
To the jubilee edition of Bol d’Or Mirabaud in 2013 about 600 sailing boats and 3000 participants are expected to grace Lake Léman, amongst them numerous professional sailors. International top stars and America’s Cup winners as Loïck Peyron, Ernesto Bertarelli, Alain Gautier, Russell Coutts, Philippe Durr, Eric Tabarly and Dennis Conner have already competed in previous editions to win the highly coveted Bol d’Or Trophy. This year, the great Suisse sailing star Dominique Wavre, who started sailing at the age of thirteen on Lake Geneva, will be the patron of Bol d’Or Mirabaud 2013. Wavre recently took up a challenge at the 7th Vendée Globe, which has been his eighth round the world race. A real highlight and first at this year’s 75th Bol d’Or edition: ALL boats will be carrying a GPS beacon, so that fans can follow the fleet using the cartography system on the official events website. In addition, screens installed at the “Nautique” will permit visitors to follow the regatta live, in real-time and in handicapped time. Follow the Regatta Bol d’Or Mirabaud 2013 LIVE running from June 14–16 or head to Geneve to be part of this grand sailing race.
