DINGHIES

The mahogany motorboat races, with a special mention for the iconic Riva models, add an incomparable touch of glamour and elegance to the Monaco Classic Week. These magnificent boats, produced mainly in the 1950s, are a reflection of a golden era of yachting, where the combination of refined design and high-level performance was at its peak. Mahogany canoes, particularly the famous Riva, are renowned for their unmatched beauty and exquisite craftsmanship. Mahogany wood, with its rich hues and polished finishes, gives each boat a luxurious and timeless appearance. These vessels are not only admired for their elegant appearance but also for their exceptional performance on the water. Designed to offer smooth and fast navigation, these boats embody the quintessence of classic yachting, combining style and efficiency. During the races, these wooden motorboats become moving works of art, offering a fascinating visual spectacle that captures the attention of all spectators. Their gleaming hulls, sculpted with artisanal precision, glide gracefully through the waves, reminiscent of the golden age of yachting when every detail was carefully crafted to combine performance and aesthetics. The sound of the engine, mixed with the gentle lapping of the water, creates an enchanting symphony that evokes nostalgic memories of the 1950s, when these boats were at the forefront of maritime technology.

Classic dinghies date back to a time when sailing was both an art and a science. These boats, often handcrafted by artisans, represent the craftsmanship and ingenuity of shipbuilders from the past. They are carefully restored and maintained to preserve their authenticity and original beauty.

Visitors have the opportunity to meet the owners and sailors of classic dinghies, hear their stories, and share their passion for these unique boats. These enriching exchanges allow for the discovery of the challenges of restoring and sailing historic sailboats, and to celebrate the nautical tradition together.
