Catalunya Costa Brava PWA World Cup

Foil Continues to Evolve with Intro of Foil Slalom, While Thomas Goyard Tastes Victory on World Tour For First Time

For the first time in PWA history, the 2019 Catalunya Costa Brava PWA World Cup saw a Foil only event and overall it was a huge success with 10 Eliminations being completed by the end of the week. For 5 out of those 6 days the sailors competed in Costa Brava’s consistent seabreezes, which found the lower wind limit for Foiling, while on day two the ferocious Tramontana showed its face to test the sailors mettle and the upper wind limits, while a variety of upwind/downwind courses, combined with the introduction of Foil Slalom for the first time led to widespread mix of different winners, which kept the racing exciting throughout.
