*LATEST NEWS* AURÉLIEN PIERROZ ADDED TO 2026 CONGR *LATEST NEWS* AURÉLIEN PIERROZ ADDED TO 2026 CONGRESSIONAL CUP ROSTER Long Beach, CA (31 March 2026) French skipper Aurélien Pierroz has been added to the 2026 Congressional Cup roster, stepping in for nine-time Match Racing World Champion Ian Williams. Currently ranked fifth in the world by World Sailing, Pierroz sits just behind fellow Frenchman and Congressional Cup invitee Ian Garreta. He is a two-time French Youth Match Racing Champion (2021, 2022) and claimed the Open French Match Racing Championship title in 2023. Among his standout achievements is a third-place finish at the WMRT Final in Shenzhen, the 2025 championship event of the World Match Racing Tour. This will mark Pierroz’s first appearance at the Congressional Cup. However, he is no stranger to Long Beach, the venue, or the Congressional Cup’s iconic Catalina 37 fleet. He enters the event as a serious contender, having finished fourth at last year’s Ficker Cup and sixth in 2024. Racing runs April 29 - May 3, 2026. The event is immediately preceded by the Ficker Cup Grade 2 April 24 - 26. The top two finishers of the Ficker Cup will round out the Congressional Cup field.

*LATEST NEWS* BORCH TRIUMPHS IN FIVE-RACE CLASSIC *LATEST NEWS* BORCH TRIUMPHS IN FIVE-RACE CLASSIC TO CLAIM MACAO MATCH CUP TITLE Macao, China (29 March 2026) – Denmark’s Jeppe Borch and his Borch Racing crew of Thor Malthe Andersen, Sebastian Wright Olsen and Matias Rossing claimed the 2026 Macao Match Cup today, edging Sweden’s Oscar Engström 3–2 in a thrilling five‑race final. After a week of light-air challenges on the Macao River, the breeze built to a steady 10–12 knots for the final day, delivering the pace and drama the event had been expecting. The semi-finals earlier in the day set the stage: Sweden’s Oscar Engström battled past young American Christian Prendergast in a back-and-forth duel that finished 3–2 in Engström’s favour, while Borch powered through Johnie Berntsson with a decisive 3–0 victory. The final was a rollercoaster. Borch raced to a 2–0 lead, looking poised to close out the title, but Engström mounted a spectacular comeback to level the match 2–2 and force a winner‑takes‑all decider. The fifth race was intense from the pre‑start; Engström’s attempted hook clipped Borch’s stern and drew an umpire penalty. Borch capitalised, holding the lead through a late gust and crossing the line to seal the championship and the USD 30,000 first prize. “It was nerve‑wracking,” Borch said. “Winning the first two races, then losing the next two made the decider a real mental test. Huge credit to the boys for keeping the boat fast when it mattered. It’s been an incredible week in Macao.” Oscar Engström earned a hard‑fought runner‑up spot, repeating his strong form at the 2025 WMRT Final in Shenzhen in January where he also finished runner-up to the nine time match raving world champion Ian Williams from Great Britain. Sweden’s Johnie Berntsson took third overall after defeating Christian Prendergast 2–1 in the Petit Final. The World Match Racing Tour now moves on to Long Beach, California, for the Congressional Cup at Long Beach Yacht Club, 29 April-3 May #wherechampionsaremade
