Ganesha wins the main trophy at The Superyacht Cup

The 46m sailing yacht Vitters Ganesha won The Superyacht Cup Palma. But only with “the smallest possible margin,” according to the organizers. 

At the end of the four-day regatta, Ganesha and the 43.6m J-class Svea were level on points, but it was Ganesha who emerged victorious in the overall standings by winning the final race.

Speaking of the win, Dr. Peter-Alexander Wacker, owner of Ganesha, said: “This is a great moment as we didn't expect it at all. However, we worked hard to win, and I'm glad that today we became winners. This is not my first time here - I just bought a house in Palma, so I will definitely be a regular participant in the Superyacht Cup Palma."

“It was very, very close,” said Ganesha skipper Alex Pumment. “Yesterday we took second place with a one second lead, but today the elemental gods were with us and we were able to achieve the result. It was not easy, but we were able to draw the right conclusions.”
