GETTING RACE-READY IN CASCAIS WITH THE MIRPURI FOUNDATION SAILING TROPHY

North Sails Named Official Sailmaker for the Second Edition

North Sails is proud to be named Official Sailmaker to the Mirpuri Foundation Sailing Trophy. First sailed in 2020, this plastic-free sustainable regatta combines competitive sailing with marine conservation, directly linking our sport to protecting the beautiful but fragile ocean.

Around 100 offshore boats, including both conventional and high-performance cruisers, are expected to participate in the second edition, June 3rd-6th, 2021 in Cascais, Portugal.

“The Mirpuri Foundation Sailing Trophy aims to be one of the main sailing events in the world,” says Paulo Mirpuri, President of the Mirpuri Foundation. “Marine conservation is a crucial cornerstone of our activities at the Foundation and inspires The Mirpuri Foundation Sailing Trophy. We believe in the power of sport to bring people together and raise awareness of our planet’s challenges.”

The regatta will overlap with The Ocean Race Europe. When the fleet of IMOCA 60s and VO65s arrives in Cascais for the first stop of their summer adventure. A coastal race will contribute to the fleets’ overall race scores. One of those VO65s is the Mirpuri Foundation Sailing Team. Another important vehicle for the Foundation’s central message of ocean health.

North Sails Cascais will provide overnight repair services, including pickup and delivery service for all sailors during the regatta.
