New name for Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta

After a week of exciting racing at the 2019 Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta, it was announced that the event will return in 2020 under a new name.

Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta to return as The Superyacht Regatta in 2020

The Superyacht Show, organised by LYBRA (Large Yacht Brokers’ Association), has announced that its next three events are to be held in Barcelona’s OneOcean Port Vell. &nbsp;The next edition of the show is set to take place in the second week of May 2019. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/30868/image/large-f425564aa0aed4a4d3d37239e8b36913.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/30868">LYBRA is a trade association which is comprised of nine of the world’s leading superyacht brokerage firms - Burgess, Edmiston, Fraser, IYC, Merle Wood &amp; Associates, Northrop &amp; Johnson, Ocean Independence, Yachtzoo and Y.CO.&nbsp;“This show is an ambitious project,” says Raphael Sauleau, President of LYBRA,&nbsp;“with its focus entirely on creating a unique visitor experience; displaying incredible superyachts in a world-class marina such as OneOcean Port Vell. The success of 2018 has led buyers to recognise the attractive opportunity The Superyacht Show offers and we’re very happy to announce we’ll be working again with OneOcean Port Vell, a marina which offers some of the best facilities and services in the region to cater for this kind of event."In 2018 the show welcomed 22 superyachts, a number which is set to grow by an estimated 30% in 2019. The event will also host a range of luxury brands, which have previously included names such as Aston Martin, Bulgari, and Airbus.OneOcean’s Port Vell, located in Barcelona, Spain, has been chosen to host the event due in part to its ability to handle superyachts up to 190-metres in length, it's some 150 moorings and 440-metres of dock space.&nbsp;** To make it easier for buyers to find their next superyacht, SuperYacht Times has created the largest and most up-to-date online marketplace with superyacht sale listings. Currently, there are 1,499 yachts listed for sale on SYT all of which can be viewed<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yachts/for-sale" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">&nbsp;here</a>.

Next three editions of The Superyacht Show to be held in Barcelona's OneOcean Port Vell 

Superyachts are heading to the sunny shores of Sardinia in preparation for the 2018 edition of the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta. Organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS) and hosted in the beautiful setting of Porto Cervo, the event will see four days of exciting competition at sea commence on 5th June.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/36187/image/large-da3cbb6233b2153eac32cf6dcc29ed96.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/36187">This edition of the highly-anticipated event will mark the 11th edition of the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta - with the organisers at the YCCS promising another spectacular race for competitors and spectators alike. No stranger to superyacht regattas, YCCS is one of the most prominent organisers of local and international sailing events in the world. The organisation is completely dedicated to promoting the sport of sailing in all its forms, with the YCCS sailing school welcoming children and adults alike into the world of sailing since 1978.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/36188/image/large-b3248c96453f85ebde4f57a3ec9cd6dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/36188">A number of impressive sailing superyachts will be participating in the racing action next week, ranging from 27 to just under 50-metres. Although previous editions of the popular regatta have seen a variety of classes participate such as the Wally fleet, this year the YCCS has decided to return to the original concept: a regatta purely for superyachts. This, as Club’s Sports Director Edoardo Recchi explained, is to better serve the needs of the superyacht owners wishing to put their racing machines through their paces.&nbsp;Accompanying the race schedule that will see boats roaring through the small islands in the La Maddalena Archipelago is a fantastic social schedule. Day one will kick off with a lively welcome cocktail on the elegant YCCS pool terrace, as well as daily after-race drinks and a prestigious award-giving ceremony. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/36189/image/large-e83c5bf320aa08b9e22df7bcf2cc9c32.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/36189">We are proud to announce that the SuperYacht Times team will be joining in on the action in Porto Cervo for the first time this year as Media Partner.
