"5-Nations-Cup" - and the winners are...

Initiated by a group of Modern sailors in 2011 in order to concentrate the Internationally active boats at selected events, the 5-Nations-Cup is sailed for at the annually nominated 5 top-regatta-events, not being a World- or European Championship. The participants go for low points; incase of point parity, the older boat wins. The prices are perpetual cups, best used for a good Port, aboard.

The first edition of the 5-Nations-Cup was held in 2012 and has since seen the perpetual Cups travelling around the world, to please the winning crews.

The winners in 2023 are:

Classic: Johannes Bandtlow with 5.5 GER 8 Lady Luv

Evolution: Johannes Schmederer, 5.5 GER 107 Striezi

Modern: W.E. "Wölfi" Richter with 5.5 GER 125 Ali-Baba

The donor of the cups is for each year naming the countries and race events. For 2024 the chosen events of 5 countries will be: Alpen Cup (ITA), German Open (GER), Swiss Open (SUI), Salzkammergutpreis (AUT) and the French Open (FRA).
