What to expect at the 2019 Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta
After a hectic 2018 edition, which saw the first two days of racing canceled and a number of retirements, the annual Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta is set to return in 2019 at the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in Porto Cervo. Due to the canceled race days, the 2019 edition will see the introduction of a new race format, with five full days of racing instead of four. This will allow more flexibility in case sea conditions are not optimal.
