CARLOS AGUILAR MATCH RACE SET FOR NOVEMBER 30-DECEMBER 4, 2011 IN ST. THOMAS, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS

St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands (June 1, 2011). The 4th Annual Carlos Aguilar Match Race (CAMR), presented by Ulysse Nardin/Trident Jewels & Time, will set sail in the scenic Charlotte Amalie harbor on November 30 to December 4, 2011.

Eight Women’s and eight Open teams representing some of the best match racers in the world will put their skills to the test in fast-paced highly-competitive sailing action along the spectator-friendly Waterfront.

Past winners of the CAMR read like a Who’s Who of sailing: the USA’s Genny Tulloch triumphed in 2008 and 2010 and France’s Claire Leroy in 2009 in the Women’s Division, while it was the USVI’s Taylor Canfield in 2008 and Peter Holmberg in 2009 and Portugal’s Alvaro Marinho/Seth Sailing Team in 2010 won in the Open Division.

Women’s and Open champions in this International Sailing Federation (ISAF)-provisional Grade Two event are awarded an Ulysse Nardin Lady Diver and Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver precision timepiece, respectively.

The St. Thomas Yacht Club and the Virgin Islands Sailing Association are organizing authorities for the CAMR, namesake for the late Carlos Aguilar, who was an avid sailor and match racer. For more information, visit: www.carlosmatchrace.com
