THE LIONS

THE WORLD WILL HEAR US ROAR

IT’S THE HEART THAT MAKES US SAILORS AND LIONS

Lions by heart and sailors by soul, we were raised on the waters of the Black Sea, a sea named after it’s harsh temper. Hardened by the elements and blended together in a team, we will prevail in the event where raw sailing skills and instinct win races.

Small nations can deliver big surprises in sports. Bulgaria did it before. And we can do it in sailing too.

Our SSL Team comprises top athletes competing in international sailing events. The pick consists of sailors qualified with their racing results and those with lives dedicated to the sport of sailing. With some of us as first timers in a crew or a 22-time winner of the oldest regatta in Bulgaria, we are one team with one drive:

Sailing means the world to us. The SSL Gold Cup is calling. And we answer.

THE LEADERS

THE YOUTH FACTOR

Young Guns have no fear of the sea nor of their rivals. They jump right on the task. They are smart, keen and bold in their fight. They come out of the extremely competitive olympic classes and they carry the flame of the battle on the big boat. They push themselves harder and they raise the pace of the team. Sky’s the limit. The Future is theirs!
