Omer Brand believes big things lie ahead following Team Israel’s performance at the Commodore’s Cup.

The crew impressed across 10 races over a gruelling seven days at Clowes. Captained by Brand, Team Israel showed improvement on a daily basis and went into the final day in fifth position, only 21-and-a-half points behind the Flanders Team who were in second place.

The placings were dependent on the final inshore race which carried double points.

After 10 of the 16 yachts had finished the remaining six vessels were becalmed. Dan Israel and Daniel Herzliya had both managed to finish in strong positions to bring Team Israel into second place overall, only for the race officer to abandon the race.
