Dennis Conner was in charge of delivering the awards, where in addition to the medals were distributed to the first three, a total of $200,000 among the 23 participants in the Star Sailors League Finals 2019

The British Iain Percy and the Swedish Anders Ekström are the new winners of the Star Sailors League Finals 2019 held from 3 to 7 December in Nassau (Bahamas) waters.

It was a very equal ending with alternatives for the four ships in competition, where they all came to lead at some point in the test, until on the arrival line there were three who had their options entering with a difference of just two seconds. The final photo had to be used to determine whether the winning ship was finally that of Percy and Ekström or that of the French Xavier Rohart and Pierre Alexis Ponsot. In the end, the tip of Percy's génova was the first to cross the line.

The Polish Mateusz Kusznierewicz, the current Star world champion, and his Brazilian crew Bruno Prada, had been the ones who had been classified directly for the final, saving the rooms and the semis, but in the great final, they were overcome by the other three ships, which would end in fourth position after Percy / Ekström, first, Rohart / Ponsot seconds and the Norwegian-American duo of Eivind Melleby and Josh Revkin who would end up being third.

07 / 12 / 2019: Chuny Bermudez- Fernández Vasco stay out of the final in the Star Sailors

The Spanish crew ends their participation in the Bahamas with a tenth place that leaves them out of the Final Phase

The only Spanish crew participating in the Star Sailors League, formed by Roberto 'Chuny' Bermudez de Castro and Miguel Fernández Vasco (Puerto de Vigo-Xacobeo 2021), has said goodbye to the competition after closing the classification phase in the tenth position.

They started 23 teams and 10 are the ones that have passed to the Final Phase this Saturday. For one day the focus was not on the top of the board, but on the middle area to see who the ten ships would be passing the cut.

And there were Bermudez de Castro and Fernández Vasco who left on this last day from the 18th and after the only two sleeves disputed on the day, the third was not held due to the fall of the wind, only two positions could be improved, until the 16th, after performing as partial a 13 and they were fired at least with a good taste of mouth with a fourth place.

At the top of the table the Brazilian-Polish crew formed by Mateusz Kusznierewicz and Bruno Prada, who have thus been assured to be directly in the final, arrive as leaders. The Italian Diego Negri and the German Frithjof Kleen completed the second round of classification, which directly classifies them for the semifinals. The rest of the third to the tenth will fight the quarter finals, of these the five best will go to the semifinals and the three after the great final.

The final rounds start tomorrow with the final quarter at 1100 local time. For the top ten crews, this represents starting again from zero, with anyone able to win the final prize and their share of the $200,000 amount.

06 / 12 / 2019: Chuny Bermudez de Castro and Fernández Vasco move away from the top ten in the Star Sailors

It was a day with three general calls, two in the first manga and one in the third, which demonstrated the instability of the wind and the pressure with which it sails this professional hiper fleet that does not give a meter for lost

The third and penultimate day of the Star Sailors League Classification Phase had nothing to do with the previous days, with less wind intensity, 6 to 12 knots in Montagu and many roles.

This led to a number of overlaps in the classification, such as the new leader of the world champion, Polish Mateusz Kusznierevicz and Bruno Prada, who thus unbank Diego Negri and Frithjof Kleen who pass to third parties, second are British Iain Percy and Swedish Anders Ekstrom.

The Spaniards Roberto Bermudez de Castro and Miguel Fernández Vasco (Puerto de Vigo-Xacobeo 2021) suffered more than expected and move away from the top ten that will give the passport to the Final Phase, as they now occupy the tenth position, 35 points from the tenth, the Brazilians Henrique Haddad and Henry Raúl Boening.

This Friday the first round is closed and on Saturday everything will be played to determine who the new star crew of the world sail is.

04 / 2 / 2019: Chuny Bermudez and Miguel Fernández at the door of the top ten of the Star Sailors

Chuny and Miguel, for the time being, are in the 13th position.

The premiere of the Star Sailors League Finals that will determine the "world stars of the 2019 candle" could not have better weather conditions in Montagu Bay for the 23 crews of 22 countries, with north-west wind, flat sea and radiant sun.

Two trials were held that closed the day with the leadership of the current world champion, the Norwegian Eiviind Melleby with the American Joshua Revking, while the Spanish Roberto 'Chuny' Bermudez de Castro and Miguel Fernández Vasco (Puerto de Vigo-Xacobeo 2021) occupy the tenth position in the general, after a discreet start but with a spectacular third place on the last sleeve of the opening day. They're at a point of the tenth place that will give access to the final rooms.

Eivind Melleby and Joshua Revking lead the SSL after the first day of race with a single point on the Italian Diego Negri and Italian Fitzjof Kleen. Roberto Bermudez de Castro and Miguel Fernández Vasco were twenty seconds in this first test where they were unable to reassemble positions, but the best would be to come.

In the second test of the day Negri and Kleen did not make such a good way out but they would end up going up to the sixth position, which allows them to continue to see closely the leadership of Melleby and Revkin, which entered rooms.

The manga would be won by the two British Olympic champion Iain Percy, next to the Swedish Anders Ekström, who would go out through the pin committing to the left, to lead from the first buoy. Although they had as great rivals the Spanish Roberto Bermudez de Castro and Miguel Fernández Vasco (Puerto de Vigo-Xacobeo 2021), with which they starred a spectacular duel. The Galician crew came to dispute from you to your manga with the British-Swedish boat.

Percy and Ekström recovered the lead in the second step by barlovento. Here, the Norwegian duo-American Eivind Melleby and Josh Revkin came into action that came seconds ahead of Bermudez de Castro and Fernández Vascos and the Kiwio-Brazilian crew of Hamish Pepper and Pedro Trouche who arrived in fifth position in a group with the Swedish-American crew of Freddy Lööf and Brian Fatih.

In the last stretch it was Pepper and Trouche who separated from the fleet collecting better and winning the manga on the same line of arrival over with Percy-Ekström, who were second and Bermudez de Castro-Fernández Vasco, with a third meritorious.
