The Concours d’Elegance measures etiquette, style and a certain respect for good manners and good behaviour at sea, all in a great spirit of festivity.
Great grand-daughter of Guccio Gucci, founder of the famous Italian fashion firm, Allegra Gucci inherited a prestigious name but above all a passion for the sea. Very early on, she learned the basics of sailing, determined to join the family crew. As a child, her first tacks were in small wooden boats, then at the age of nine she was introduced to Lasers on Lake St Moritz. She very quickly joined the crew on Avel, a 1986 gaff cutter where, regatta after regatta, she established herself as a sailor in her own right. It is a passion she has inherited from her father Maurizio Gucci who had Creole restored, the majestic three-masted 1927 schooner which won the Monaco Classic Week Trophy 2013. Loyal to this legacy, Allegra perpetuates the spirit of elegance and tradition at sea that she personifies today as President of the Elegance Contest Jury.
