"We are proud to support title sponsor Loro Piana in a regatta that goes from strength to strength and is set to become a jewel in the crown of YCCS Virgin Gorda. " The range of social events, which have come to distinguish Loro Piana regattas almost as much as the racing, will be centred around the YCCS Clubhouse in Virgin Gorda's North Sound and will include a Welcome Caribbean Party, Owners' Dinner and a Prize giving and Farewell gathering. The YCCS Clubhouse officially opened in 2012 and offers members, guests and regatta participants an elegant bar, restaurant and pool terrace with spectacular views over the adjacent YCCS Marina and the island's North Sound. A welcome lunch for owners and their guests will also be held at the nearby Oil Nut Bay resort on 20th March. Participating motor yachts will cruise in company to Peter Island for a lunch hosted by the BVI Tourist Board and will follow racing on day two. The Tender Treasure Hunt around the North Sound on the final day will give owners and guests of the motor yachts a chance to explore the sheltered, pristine waters of the bay.

Rupert Savage, Managing director of Rolling Stock Finishing &amp; Refinishing, says: “working at Vilanova’s shipyard has been a great experience, not just for the facilities, which are technically very well prepared to carry out this type of projects, but for the marina’s personnel, which are highly dedicated, skillful and great team members. We certainly look forward to working there again soon”. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/138208/image/large-85f4147df8a1dc4cc8d494752e50bc85.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/138208">Parsifal III mast repaint is one the largest project carried out so far at Vilanova’s shipyard since its becoming operational at the beginning of last year.

The 56-metre Panthalassa claimed victory on saturday in the second race of the Perini Navi Cup 2011 and now sits in third place overall behind Parsifal III in second place and The Maltese Falcon in first. Organized by the Yacht Costa Smeralda from 1st to 4th September, the event sees 13 spectacular sailing yachts from the renowned Perini Navi Shipyard. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/136561/image/large-a058e589055b9b73202bdcbead9413d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/136561">“Our intention was to sail a nice clean race and we were very fortunate that we made no mistakes,” commented Greg Butler Davis, Captain of Panthalassa. “We were waiting for the breeze to fill in from the south east for a long time. We were tactically very good at the top mark and managed to perform particularly well. Thanks to great work from our tactician Andrea Visentini we were able to predict and take advantage of the wind that filled in along the coast and get the very best out of the boat.” <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/136562/image/large-60b5d48aa393f152a23741d4efe3d428.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/136562">A westerly breeze of approximately 13 knots accompanied the participating yachts at the starting line but would later shift and fall towards the end of the race. The fleet followed a course of approximately 24 miles which took them north to round Monaci island before heading to the Secca Tre Monti rock and past Capo Ferro. <iframe width="560" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qKjfpLca9eQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>The Perini Navi yachts then sailed south to Mortoriotto and turned for the finish line off Porto Cervo. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/136563/image/large-201303a46f4549dc201b5c6265602141.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/136563">The third and final day of racing will take today followed by the prize giving in Piazza Azzurra and the Quadrivio Sgr Regatta Party. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.superyachttimes.com/perini-navi-cup-2011/">Follow the Perini Navi Cup 2011 live on SuperYachtTimes.com.</a>Perini Navi Group +39 0584 4241 <a href="mailto:info@perininavi.it?subject=Perini%20Navi%20Cup%20seen%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@perininavi.it</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.perininavi.it/">www.perininavi.it</a> Photo by Rolex/Carlo Borlenghi

CNI yachts attending the St Barth's Bucket

Saturday dawned with the strong breeze of the previous day blowing across the Costa Smeralda unabated. Upwards of 35 knots were recorded off Porto Cervo, causing the YCCS race committee to announce a postponement for the start of Sundays' racing in the Perini Navi Cup. But after one hour, it was clear from the conditions and the forecast that the winds would not diminish soon enough to get racing in. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/128880/image/large-33b40e403ca5cc09a6750b4435f80855.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128880">At a brief skippers' meeting, the YCCS Principal Race Officer, Peter Craig and the race organizers consulted with the yacht owners and made the decision to cancel racing for the day. The scores for Race 1 sailed Saturday stand as the series result with 1) <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/385">Maltese Falcon</a>, 2) <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/141">Felicita West</a>, and 3) <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1926">Antara</a>. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/128881/image/large-44e6bfaa298ea0d9f6d719a7b57a5803.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128881">The well-known yacht designer Ron Holland - whose firm is celebrating their 35th year -- has been working with Perini Navi for over ten years. At this year's Perini Navi Cup, several of his designs were in Porto Cervo to compete, including <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/39">Salute</a>, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1387">Riela</a>, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/141">Felicita West</a>, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2290">Ohana</a>, and <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/615">Parsifal III</a>. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/128882/image/large-0e96b16f88cbdc1b46a0bdcc4c0aae0f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128882">After a stunning day of racing on Friday, which saw the yachts competing in more breeze than any previous regatta, Holland agreed with the decision to abandon racing today, "You kind of have to do it. I suppose twenty years ago I would've been upset and unhappy, but it's amazing now when you turn sixty, something happens, so it's like 'very good decision race committee'". <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/128883/image/large-67907b441ccab2ed38a01bbb8a3c11f2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128883">Friday's conditions tested boats and crews, but when it was all said and done, the racing was great and there were relatively few breakdowns. Holland said, "Yesterday was extreme, that really was the limit. What I reflected on was that these large cruising yacht regattas are a relatively new thing, starting about 15 years ago. But the boats have kept getting bigger. The standard of sailing that we witnessed yesterday was certainly of a higher order than the first Perini Cup; the boats are being handled more accurately, the level of experience of the crews are higher. On Salute, we had the owner of the yacht steering the boat very well for the whole day, so it's another level of what Perini yachts are all about..it's really extreme in those conditions, you have to sail extra carefully, you have to know the limits of the boat, so this was a hell of a test for the fleet." <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/128884/image/large-e1c946f3eb5926b48f99cd04ddcd646d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128884">Holland knows what he speaks of - his first design with Perini was the 210' ketch <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/141">Felicita West</a>, and more recently he has designed the 56-meter series, the first aluminum boat from Perini, of which ten have been sold. Of the appeal of this design he offered, "It opened up another segment of the market -- Perini had a great reputation and success in the large cruising yacht market, with the style and comfort, but they didn't have the performance aspect to the boats. My collaboration added to the performance possibilities. It also said you can have comfort, style, and safety without giving up so much performance, so it can still be a proper, fun sailboat." <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/128885/image/large-a4fdc7b51d2d0154fae8a46d76e114ae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128885">In Porto Cervo, two of these boats <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/39">Salute</a> and <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1387">Riela</a>, were competing. Holland commented on the improvements in technology and manufacturing in super yachts, "In the early days, you probably couldn't have pulled the jibs in on the winches, because the winches weren't strong enough ten years ago! Yesterday when we were sailing up to the finish line with three or four boats that we had a chance of overtaking, we said 'let's pull the jib in just a little more'. I'm looking at this thing and thinking, 'wow' because you know it's 15 or so tons on it." <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/128886/image/large-26445e14f01836a2f6db09c814f80597.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128886">YCCS Commodore Riccardo Bonadeo was enthusiastic in his praise of the event saying, "We saw these yachts at their very best on Friday. The racing really was of a very high standard and the fleet is so impressive. Seeing nineteen Perinis lined up in front of the YCCS at sunset brought such glamour and elegance that we will remember them for a very long time." <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/128887/image/large-19612c903730522920d6d64f07239a44.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128887">The Perini Navi Cup prizegiving took place this evening on the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda's Piazza Azzura.

The 34.63m (113’) The One also joins the CNI Cannes listings. Built by Baglietto, she is a fast custom aluminium yacht and a great example of how a contemporary yacht should be. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/125878/image/large-09f01338e378e5a63839de1defddc3a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/125878">Also in CNI Cannes, the 34m (111’) Rubeccan from Ferretti has only had one owner and is now seriously for sale at a fraction of the replacement cost, as is the extremely popular 34m (111’) Leopard, Pure White. Having also had only one owner she is listed jointly with CNI Cannes and the Rodriguez Group. For something different CNI Cannes lists the truly classic 33.53m (109’) Feadship, La Belle Aire. The 30.5m (100’) Powdermonkey from Falcon Yachts remains a popular vessel of her size group and has earned herself a great charter reputation. Further along the coast, CNI Antibes’ Charles Ehrardt lists two sailing yachts for sale: the 23.4m (76.7’) Spip and the 21.5m (70.4’) Grace, both from CNB. CNI Palma lists three new yachts in their sales fleet. Jonathan Syrett lists a new construction from Factoria Naval de Marin shipyard scheduled for launch later this year. The 39.6m (125’) Mambo is a solid, long-range yacht of steel hull and aluminium superstructure. An outstanding yacht from the reputable Spanish yard capable of building yachts up to 150 metres. Arne Ploch meanwhile announces the classic 34.95m (115’) Follow Me 4 for sale. A tri-deck displacement Benetti Classic, she is the last of these popular models to be built. She has been maintained in prime condition since her launch in 2006, and has had only one owner. Arne also lists the 24.95m (82’) sailing yacht Vita Bella from the German yard Dübbel and Jesse. A fast and strong cruising sloop of aluminium hull, she boasts spectacular interior volume. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/125879/image/large-01728387d8672637dfaa318680e866f9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/125879">The definitive guide to chartering Along with this Autumn issue of Sea&amp;i, CNI has also launched the Charter Collection for 2009. Once again the annual has been released early due to the rising demand for yacht charters. The chic, hardback book is CNI’s most stylish edition to date. Each year the superyacht industry notches up a gear as more yachts launch onto the market and greater numbers of charter areas open up for longer seasons. To reflect this rich diversity, this year’s annual is larger than ever. For the first time we have been obliged to add a new category to the yacht pages to cater for the great increase in the number of vessels that fall under the 50m – 60m and 60m+ headings. The new Charter Collection gives you a real feel for the lifestyle and activities in each destination.

October superyacht brokerage & charter news from CNI

Memories of Monaco CNI’s presence was stronger than ever during the 18th Monaco Yacht Show, and for the third consecutive year CNI, in partnership with the show’s organisers, made the show CarbonNeutral by measuring the source and levels of greenhouse gases produced from the travel, electricity and waste of the exhibiting companies – as well as those of the yachts and stands – and offsetting them with dedicated programmes. The social scene at the show saw CNI hosting several events; On the eve of the opening day of the show, CNI commenced its series of events by hosting a splendid evening at the Yacht Club de Monaco, in association with Banque Jacob Safra SA. Maybach had its latest model on show, while renowned marine photographer, Kos Evans, showcased her unique exhibition Against the Elements. Held on the first evening of the show, CNI’s annual Gala Dinner, in association with Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority, and in collaboration with Cartier and Maybach, took place at the Monte Carlo Beach Hotel in the company of 250 select clients and friends. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/125780/image/large-e2cc752b2bce80ca69f3b148d7094aae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/125780">CNI concluded a busy week of sales activities and stunning events with a cocktail party on board the 46m (150’) Leopard Pure One in collaboration with Van Cleef &amp; Arpels and Timbers Resorts. Jillian Montgomery, CEO, commented “It has been an incredibly active Monaco Yacht Show, with lots of interest in the CNI yachts displayed as well in the new ones presented by the shipyards. Although the question that was on everyone's lips was whether the market would remain buoyant given the US financial situation, there was no sign of the European side of the business slowing down, thanks to the current growth of the Eastern European market, and beyond."
