16 of the yachts at the 2016 Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta

Nilaya is a 34.13m sailing yacht built in Finland by Baltic Yachts. She tasted success in her first regatta, winning her class at the Super Yacht Cup Palma 2011.

The competitive Nilaya has continued to win regattas around the world, including the overall prize — the Boat International Media Trophy — in the 2014 Loro Piana Caribbean Regatta.

Following the win in 2014, Nilaya's owner said "We are very happy we won, that’s of course the reason why you come here. We did well, our tactics were good, the trimming was good, the whole crew work was very good, and the wind conditions were good. So we are happy, the competition was good, and with fantastic organisation."

The 46 metre Vitters sailing yacht Ganesha is the successor of the 38.9 metre yacht Ganesha I. She was launched in 2013 and has an impressive 62 metre Southern Spars carbon mast.

Ganesha won the 2014 World Superyacht Awards category for best sailing yacht over 40 metres.

She is primed for cruising and regatta racing, with her lines inspired by the beam-to-length ration and the low freeboard of the J Class yachts.

Ganesha raced in last year's event as well as coming second in June's 2015  Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta in Sardinia.

Atalante was launched by Claasaen in May 2015. The 38.8 metre sailing yacht was ordered by an existing Claasen owner in 2012, as he stepped up from his 27.5 metre Truly Classic 90, also named Atalante.

The owner will be hoping to put in a strong showing in Atalante's first Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta & Rendezvous.
