Alinghi wins the Open de Rolle – Julius Baer Challenge
Winning the Open de Rolle today puts Alinghi at the top of the Julius Baer Challenge leaderboard with six events left on the Décision 35 race calendar.

Alinghi is ahead with rival boats Okalys and Foncia hot on its heels going into ‘Geneva-Rolle-Geneva’ – event three of the series – on 7 June.
Team Okalys with crew spread all over the tramp
