20th ANNIVERSARY ACI CUP ON HORIZON
World Tour leader Gilmour aims for 10th career victory in Croatia
The seventh season of the World Match Racing Tour resumes later this month with the 20th anniversary ACI Adris Match Race Cup, May 23-28, in Rovinj, Croatia.
In celebration of the anniversary the ACI Cup has relocated to Rovinj, on the Istra peninsula in upper Croatia, from Split, where it had been held for the past 10 years. The ACI Cup moved out of Rovinj during the War in the Balkans of the 1990s, but moved back for the anniversary and for presenting sponsor Adris Group d.d., a conglomerate based in Rovinj with interests in tourism.
They have also increased the prize purse. This year the ACI Cup will award a 50,000€ purse (approximately $65,000), with 20,000€ (approx. $25,000) earmarked for the champion. Last year the prize purse was $40,000 and the champion won $15,000. As in the past, the Jeanneau 35 One-Design is the boat of choice.
