Laser Radial European Championship-Gold and Silver Fleets in place

A Chat with Russell Coutts


The staff of YachtRacing.com would like to extend our deepest condolences to the members of Victory Challenge who have lost their syndicate head Jan Stenbeck. Mr. Stenbeck suffered a heart attack and passed away at the American Hospital in Paris.
We invite anybody that would like to share their thoughts on this matter with Victory Challenge and the yachting community as a whole to submit them to us so that we may publish them in memoriam.

Thank you,
Sean P. Downey
Associate Editor
