A unique spectacle at sea and on the quay
The event is unique in that it welcomes, by invitation only, around a hundred selected boats:
- Among some 50 classic sailing yachts will be the three-masted Créole (1927) and Invader (1905), the schooners Zaca (1929), Puritan (1930) and Elena of London (2009), the Bermudan cutter Manitou (1937), the gaff cutters Viola (1908) and Partridge (1885) celebrating her 140th anniversary, and of course Tuiga (1909), the 15M IR marking three decades flying the YCM colours;
- Around 15 or so period motor-yachts are expected, including Kalizma (1906, 46m), one of the oldest classic motor-yachts still in operation, and once belonged to Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, as well as the legendary American steam-ship SS Delphine (1921, 79m);
- Of the 60-plus vintage powerboats expect Scolopendra (1903), Triton (1908), Lady Isabelle (1930) and several emblematic Riva models, including the legendary Riva Aquarama, launched in 1962 that became an icon of this famous boatyard in Sarnico;
- And a dozen of the one design Dinghy 12’, an Olympic class in 1920, which embodies the spirit of small accessible elegant pleasure craft.
