This performance sloop is designed by longtime Fitzroy Yachts collaborator Dubois Naval Architects and interior design is by Design Unlimited. _Escapade (_37 metres) is the ninth and last Dubois to come from this shipyard before it closed it's doors.

Escapade is new yacht to the Loro Piana regattas and we are excited to see her race this year.

This 31 metre Southern Wind was built in 2014, and was the third of the SW 102 series. Designed by Farr Yacht Design and Nauta Yachts, Farfalla includes a spacious flush deck, a tender garage for a four-metre dinghy, and a mainsail captive winch.

Galateia is the third hull in the Wallycento line, but she represents a second generation evolution for the 30.48 metre box-rule Wally fleet. Galateia was launched from Green Marine, and the naval architecture is thanks to Reichel-Pugh.

Using the new generation of hull design and lightweight, carbon composite construction, Galateia exceeds 25 knots of speed downwind, while the advanced Wally sail handling system delivers easy control, encouraging the owner to take the helm.

Unmissable with its vibrant green hull, Inoui is a 33.4 metre yacht which was built in 2013 by Vitters and designed by Philippe Briand.

Inoui came a close second in the Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta and Rendezvous in 2016 and also won the judges' special award for design and high-quality construction at the 2014 World Superyacht Awards.

Nahita (formerly Bagheera) was designed by Farr Yacht Design and is the sixth yacht in the Wally 80 design. She made her Wally Class debut in 2015 and gradually improved throughout the season.

Her international crew will look to make further gains in the 2017 season as they take on the other 24 metre Wally’s Ryokan 2, Lyra, Tango G and Tilakkhana.

The 32.64 metre Vitters custom sailing yacht Ribelle is the second to have been designed by Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design. Ribelle’s carbonfibre hull and superstructure were built by Green Marine, allowing for a lightweight displacement of just 86 tonnes, and with a beam of 7.72 metres, we are excited to see Ribelle race in the 2017 Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta.

Ryokan 2 is one of the most iconic Wally superyachts. In 2008 she won the ADI Compasso d’Oro and in 2009 the German Design Preis. In 2016 Ryokan 2 won the Wally Trophy of the Group 2 category for a second year in a row, reserved to the Wallys with a restricted sail inventory, racing in a more Corinthian spirit.

Ryokan 2 is a regular participant in the Wally Class racing circuit, and spectators of the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta will be eager to see how this yacht and her crew race this year.

Tilakkhana was commissioned by an owner who loves racing, and when she was bought in 2015 they were keen to continue the racing pedigree of the yacht, including participating in the 2016 Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta.

She features the canting keel of the successful Wally80 design, and with her owner at the helm, Tilakkhana will take part in all of the Wally regattas this year.

Launched by the esteemed Wally Yachts yard in 2007 to a German Frers design, this superyacht incorporates all the best Wally traditional design features such as the easy sail handling along with outstanding performance and a light, spacious and well ventilated interior.

We look forward to seeing Y3K racing in the 2017 Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta.
