Pieter Heerema, Lars Hendriksen and George Leonchuk on NED 412 ”Troika” were finally victorious at the 2021 Dragon Gold Cup by Yanmar. The crew managed to stay ahead of the runner up and last years winner Pedro Andrade with thirteen points after six races.

The Corinthians on SWE 401 ”Nono” with Martin Pålsson, Gustav Gärdebäck and Thomas Wallenfeldt claimed the trophy for best amateurs and with a fourth place overall.

The Dragon Gold Cup also features a special competition for national teams called the Nations Cup. The deed of gift states that the trophy shall be held by the helmsman of the team member with the highest overall placing and so the Nations Cup will be returning to Russia with Dmitry Samokhin.

More than 8 million tons of plastic bottles are du

More than 8 million tons of plastic bottles are dumped into our ocean every year and it is estimated that by 2050 the ocean will contain more plastic by weight than fish. 
We want to turn the tide on ocean plastic with our friends at Henri-Lloyd and support the incredible charities offering practical solutions to pull plastics out of our oceans so they can be put back into the supply chain and be made into long lasting, timeless wearable products such as the Henri-Lloyd Mav Mid Series.

Throughout Blue August they will be donating 10% of their online profits towards pioneers that are helping clean up our oceans. Together we can make a difference...
