OMEGA SEAMASTER PROFESSIONAL CHRONOGRAPH
- THE TRANSAT
sube fotosAs Official Timekeeper and Principal Partner of The Transat 2004, OMEGA star ambassador Anna Kournikova was at Plymouth on May 31, 2004 to give the official start of the race which was to host the largest professional fleet that this gruelling transatlantic yacht race had ever seen.
Having survived a thrilling ride down the Olympic Bobsleigh Run in St. Moritz earlier in the year, Anna’s next challenge on her visit to The Transat Race Village at the Plymouth Yacht Haven, was a unique sailing lesson with fellow Omega ambassador Ellen MacArthur on board an Open 50 class racing yacht. Ellen herself was the Open 60 class winner of the Europe1 NewMan STAR in 2000, as The Transat was then known.
