Fierce racing and racy fun is what this regatta is all about – hardly surprising when the venue is the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS), hang-out of European glitterati and the jet-set since the heady days of the 1960s.
First launched in 2008, this is the regatta that opens the Mediterranean superyacht calendar. Organised by the YCCS and Boat International Media, it attracts an ever-increasing fleet of sailing yachts. Modern and classic, performance and cruising vessels head for the emerald waters of Sardinia, intent on four days of exhilarating sailing.
But that’s not the only pull: as the sun sets, the equally vibrant social scene kicks off, with sundowners, informal boat hops, beach parties and formal dinners, all set in and around the YCCS Clubhouse and the enchanting village of Porto Cervo, the jewel of the northern coast of Sardinia.
Overlooking Piazza Azzurra and dominating the New Marina, the Clubhouse is considered one of the most prestigious and beautifully functional structures of its kind anywhere in the world and provides breathtaking views of the harbour and dramatic sunsets over the Mediterranean.
The next regatta takes place 4 – 9 June 2012.
