About Us
The WinnerBrasil team:
Eduarda ‘Duda’ Lobão Rudge, from Rio de Janeiro, has traveled far since she was born in the Urca neighborhood. After a long career in the fashion market, she decided to change parents and now lives in Denmark, where she is dedicated to selling Winner in Brazil. Duda was practically born on a boat and has been going to the Rio de Janeiro Yacht Club all his life, where her parents – and her grandparents – met. In boats of various sizes she sailed Rio-Angra dos Reis hundreds of times.
Jakob ‘Jacó’ Rubin, Danish by birth, lived many years in Brazil. He was born in the beach town of Hornbaek on the coast between Sweden and Denmark and started his sailing career in optimist on the cold waters between these two countries. He crossed the Atlantic in a Swan 51 and now sails his wonderful ‘vintage’ Maxi 95 in his beloved waters – the Öresund and Kattegat in Denmark. For 10 years, Jakob was the correspondent for the largest Danish newspaper in Brazil.
