470 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP AT YACHT CLUB DE CANNES - PREVIEW

European 470 Championship from 4 to 12 May 2024. The Yacht Club de Cannes is hosting the last major international event before the Olympic Games.

With 90 days to go until the Paris 2024 Olympic Games - the sailing events will be held in Marseille - the Yacht Club de Cannes is hosting and organizing the 470 European Championship, one of the ten Olympic series in the running. Suffice it to say that all the international elite (European of course, but also worldwide) preparing for the Olympics, are present for this last major event on the Côte d'Azur after the Trofeo Princessa Sofia in Palma de Mallorca and the French Olympic Week in Hyères which ended at the end of last week. More than fifty crews are expected in the Bay of Cannes from 4 to 12 May.

Designed by the Frenchman André Cornu in 1963, built first by Jean Morin in Pessac, then by the largest shipyards on the planet, the "quat' sept" is often referred to as the "dinghy of the golden mean". Both technically and physically affordable, whether you are a beginner or experienced amateur sailor, or a yachtsman on holiday, it remains very popular with champions who started in Optimist and then Laser before an obligatory passage most often in 420. This dinghy measuring 4.70 metres has been an Olympic series since the Montreal Olympics in 1976. While many French crews have won many European and World Championships, Thierry Péponnet and Luc Pillot remain the only French sailors to win gold medals in Seoul in 1988. Mixed for the first time after twelve Olympiads, the 470 has not aged a bit. As proof, he is the Olympic "veteran" with more than 60 years of age.

It is no coincidence that the Cannes Yacht Club, founded in 1860, was chosen by the International 470 Class Association. Its reputation is well established. In addition to the famous and unmissable Royal Regattas every year in September, where the elite of the "Classics" meet, the club based at the Pointe Croisette, does not only train future champions, but organizes both the IRC European Championship, the International Finn Week, or the biggest international Dragon events...

While the latest Olympic medalists and other European and world champions are present in Cannes, we will be particularly interested in the French duo Camille Lecointre and Jérémie Mion, selected for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, untouchable this season because they won in Palma and Hyères, but also the young Cannes Matisse Pacaud and Lucie de Gennes (23 years old), two-time European champions and three-time junior world champions. Currently in the top nine in the senior world, the two YC Cannes licensees, who are aiming for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, are privileged to have been selected as "sparring partners" by the Lecointre Mion crew, Camille having won two bronze medals at the Rio and Tokyo Olympics. Racing at home on a stretch of water they know like the back of their hand, they are clearly among the favorites.

But they are not alone, starting with the Spaniards Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman, 2024 world champions and their runners-up, the Englishmen Vita Heathcote and Chris Grube, the Swedes Anthon Dhalberg and Lovisa Karlsson, 2023 European champions, or the Germans Malte and Anastasiya Winkel, second in the Paris 2024 Test Event behind Camille Lecointre and Jérémie Mion. Finally, the young Frenchmen Manon Penneac'h and Pierre Williot as well as Lomade Valade and Julien Brunel, are not lacking in talent or ambition, and have the opportunity to shine.

Jean-François Cutugno, president of the Yacht Club de Cannes and a former high-level 470 sailor, does not hide his satisfaction at organizing this European Championship: "We are very proud to host this event, for several reasons. It's an honor. The club was completely renovated this winter and is getting a makeover for the occasion. It's been a long time since we've organized a major international championship with an Olympic series, and we're also fortunate to have wonderful ambassadors who are as successful as they are involved in the club - Matisse Pacaud and Lucie de Gennes. Finally, and on a personal level, it is all the more important to me as I am very attached to this dinghy on which I have raced for a long time. I can count on our remarkable team of permanent and volunteer staff and our loyal partners to offer the competitors a superb championship... "

2023 European Championship

October 24 - 29, 2023, district: iscyra.

Event Website

The Star European Championship kicked off today in the Bay of Cannes, organized by the Yacht Club de Cannes and the International Star Class. 45 teams from 15 nations were on the starting line of the first two races of the Championship, after the Opening Ceremony that took place last night on the Croisette. Some hurdles in the first race of the day. It got underway at midday with a not so stable Southwesterly wind of about 7 knots. It created some disappointment in the fleet, as when the leaders were at the downwind mark the wind shifted 35 degrees and the Race Committee chaired by Jérôme Nutte changed the course. The first race was won by the Danish Jurgen Schoenherr and the German Markus Koy. Two-time World Champion Diego Negri, here with Alberto Ambrosini, finished 21 st and were the most upset by the change of course, as they were leading for the first half of the race. The second race of the day had the wind increasing to 16 knots for everyone’s enjoyment, even though the water of Cannes proved to be merciless with its steep chop! A good bullet for American Jack Jennings and crew Pedro Trouche, followed by Italian America’s Cup helmsman Flavio Favini with Nicolas Seravalle and then again, Shoenherr and Koy.   Back ashore, the crews were welcomed by the buffet provided by the Cannes Yacht Club, and then some rest because tomorrow looks windier for two more races. PROVISIONAL TOP 5 (after two races) 1. JENNINGS / TROUCHE 2. SHOENHERR / KOY 3. KOUYOUMDJIAN / RIVERO 4. FAVINI / SERAVALLE 5. BLEES / HOUWELING

A very strong breeze welcomed the 45 teams attending the 2023 Star European Championship in Cannes, France.

The Race Committee hoisted the AP flag over two hours, hoping the forecast would be right when calling for it to drop in the early afternoon.

Unfortunately it wasn't and the wind just kept blowing above 20 knots, preventing the fleet to go on the water.

The Championship will resume tomorrow, and will end on Saturday, October 28th.

Day Three of the 2023 Star European Championship and AGAIN too much wind to race. The Star European Vice President Diego Negri commented "the wind was blowing between 20 and 33 knots with puffs up to 30, it was definitely impossible to race, especially as going in and out of the harbour it gets dangerous. Let's hope for three races tomorrow, with the fifth the discard will come in place and we, and others, who totally misunderstood Race One on Wednesday, will be able to come back into the game". The plan of the Yacht Club de Cannes Race Committee tomorrow is for 3 races starting at 10am.

Cannes, October 28 th , 2023. After four races at the 2023 Star European Championship in Cannes, France, for the numerous 45 boat fleet there are two new champions, Jack Jennings (USA) and Pedro Trouche (BRA). They claimed the leadership of the ranking on day one, and like everyone else, had to patiently wait ashore for two days for the wind to drop, and then confirmed their position today, on the final day, after two very hard races with winds up to twenty knots and very challenging chop.

“We’ve just finished the Star European Championship, and this win has  to be shared with my crew Pedro Touche and our wonderful coach, I am very thankful to them and to our training partners Hubert Merkelbach and Scott Barnard before the regatta started, I think that helped really a lot”, said Jack Jennings after the prizegiving ceremony. “We got four good races in even though we had a two day forced stop, they were sailed in excellent strong conditions, there was a great competition among the top five boats, the sailors have amazing resumes, Jorgen Shoenherr, Flavio Favini, they are fantastic athletes and so I have to thank my team for making this happen”.

“It was a tough week for everybody, for us, for the other 44 teams, and for the Race Committee, as the wind was strong and had to be managed”, added Pedro Trouche. “I am very happy for the second silver star with Jack, it is now time to celebrate”.

This final day started out with winds building and the course was set in the Bay of St.Maxime, with a Southwesterly breeze at 15-18 knots. Two-time World Champion Diego Negri with Alberto Ambrosini won the first race of the day as the wind was getting stronger for race number four – second of today. A few teams did not finish Race Three and a few other opted for not even starting Race Four, as the breeze was gusting to twenty knots. It was a five leg final race, and Jack Jennings with Pedro Trouche wanted to seal the regatta and went on to claim the second bullet of this short score board.

In the overall ranking Jorgen Shoenherr and Markus Koy won the silver medal, and Italian America’s Cup sailor, Flavio Favini with Nicolas Seravalle with the bronze, after a fourth place at the past Worlds in Scarlino in September.

The 2023 Star European Championship ended with the prize giving at the Yacht Club de Cannes, and the teams are now on their way back home, with the European season coming close to the winter break, while there is still one Silver medal up for grab at the Star South American Championship in Rio de Janeiro from November 30 th to December 3 rd , 2023.

From 24 to 29 October 2023, the Yacht Club de Cannes is organising the European Star Championship. Nearly 45 competitors are expected in the harbour of Cannes, with an exceptional line-up.

IRC European Championship, 12M JI European Championship and now European Star Championship In addition to the 45th Royal Regattas, the Yacht Club de Cannes continues a season that is as dense as it is brilliant in the organisation of prestigious regattas, where its know-how is unanimously recognised. The Star, designed by the American architect William Gardner in 1910, remains an incredibly innovative boat, often copied, never equalled with its seven-metre hull with sharp chines, its keel equipped with a bulb and its rig as slender as it is thin and fragile. An Olympic sailboat from 1932 to 2012, the Star has seen the greatest champions, including the Finn specialists, who, after having won everything on the former Olympic solitaire, have passed with the same success on this double-handed keelboat of rare complexity. It should be noted that the Star is a boat that requires weight at abseiling.

Double quintal!

Most of the crews are close to 200 kilos on the scales! Multiple world and European champion in Finn, with four participations in the Olympic Games, Hans Spitzauer is the perfect illustration of these sailors pursuing their careers in Star. Together with his faithful accomplice Christian Nehammer, the Austrian is undoubtedly one of the favourites. He will have to count on a pack of Italians who have won countless European and world titles. Diego Negri, three Olympians, double Star World Champion in 2021 and 2022, double European Champion, is undoubtedly the man to beat, especially as he is still as formidable as ever in "his" Mediterranean waters. Enrico Chieffi, former CEO of the Nautor Swan shipyard, now at the head of Slam, was 470 world champion with his brother, before racing in Star as a more than wise "amateur". European Champion 2021, he is an exceptional helmsman. And what about Flavio Favini, his two America's Cup campaigns, his nine world titles in Melges, Mumm 30, 6 M JI and Farr 40! He, like the vast majority of competitors, continues to sail at the highest level after more than fifty years of racing. In the setting of Cannes, where the weather is often blessed at this time of year, we will also find the Franco-Argentinian architect Juan Kouyoumdjian, who not only designed many of the winning boats of the crewed round the world race, but also reworked the hull of the Star, exploiting the rules, and who in all the major international championships shines with his touch at the helm and his tactical vision. Two French crews will defend the French colors in Cannes, including Raoul Dabry, captain on long-haul Airbus and trainer at Air France, associated with his accomplice Tristan Cotte.

An exceptional season for the Cannes Yacht Club

Jean-François Cutugno, President of the Yacht Club de Cannes, said: "This European Championship is the end of a fantastic season, and it is a great honour to be able to host one of the most prestigious series there is, and with so many champions. It should not be forgotten that in addition to the organisation of major events in Cannes, the club's racers have had an exceptional year in regattas, such as Matisse Pacaud and Lucie de Gennes, once again junior world champions in 470 for the third year in a row, Maxime Nocher, European vice-champion in Kitefoil, or Julien Rattotti, world champion in Wingfoil... Not to mention all our young riders and future "starists" who have won a string of national titles..."

Régates Royales Cannes: heading for the 2022 edition!

The 44th edition of the Régates Royales will take place in Cannes from September 18 to 24, 2022. As every year, the most beautiful traditional yachts will hoist their sails, sometimes centuries old, for legendary races to follow in the bay of Cannes. This unmissable event and one of the most popular in classic sailing on an international scale, offers a unique spectacle to follow on land and at sea. To not miss this unforgettable spectacle in the Mediterranean during the week and to live an experience unique, we invite you to follow these exceptional sailboats aboard one of our rental boats.

Régates Royales Cannes: an exceptional vintage for the 44th edition.

Organized by the Yacht Club de Cannes, the Régates Royales bring together around the old port of Cannes and Port Canto, more than 80 traditional yachts, around fifty Dragons and an armada of Tofinou, Stars and sailing boats with elegant lines. and which pay homage to history.

Born in 1859, this nautical event, which was chaired by the Duke of Vallombrosa, has acquired prestige over the years, and has become one of the major events in classic sailing, driven by international enthusiasm.

From now on, its activities around the village of the Régates Royales, its races at sea against a backdrop of an idyllic landscape between the Lérins islands and the Estérel massif make it one of the most popular events dedicated to boating for sailboat owners.

On the program for the 2022 edition of the Régates Royales in Cannes, 6 days of competition during which the boats will compete for victory by category and numerous meetings on the quays which will bring together sailors and lovers of the sea.

This year, the novelty that will enliven the evenings of the Régates Royales is a new dedicated space around the kiosk in the aisles where concerts and exhibitions will take place. Activities that will be added to the highlights of the 44th edition of the Régates Royales such as the opening ceremony of the bow or the daily meeting on the quays, the departure of the boats at sea, magnificent moments not to be missed!

Follow the Royal Regatta at sea: a unique experience

For 6 days, the coast of Cannes and Mandelieu will be lulled by the string of sailboats that will set off on the Mediterranean from the end of the morning. On the Croisette and Midi beaches, it will be possible to watch them compete, but the best way to follow the Royal Regatta is to embark for a few hours at sea aboard a rental boat .

At Riviera Boat Club we offer many models of boats with or without skipper to enjoy a day at sea and sail in the wake of the fleet of sailboats.

A sea excursion during the Royal Regatta:

On board our 100% electric trimaran , you will experience a unique sailing experience that is completely silent.

Departing from the pontoon of the Hotel îlot du Golf in Mandelieu la Napoule, after a few minutes of bucolic sea trip on the Siagne, you will reach the Mediterranean, towards Cannes and the Lérins islands.

According to the Régates Royales program, you can take the same route as the maritime races and comfortably installed on the sunbeds, take out the telescope to scrutinize the most beautiful rigging of the sailboats and the crew members who will be busy trying to to achieve victory.

According to your desires, you can, for example, picnic in the turquoise waters which undulate around Sainte-Marguerite Island and take advantage of the ideal climate in September for diving and snorkeling near the eco-museum under -marine.

The Régates Royales: Cannes’ Most Prestigious Sailing Regatta

by Tammy | Aug 9, 2023

By Karen Hockney ONBOARD ONLINE 9 Aug 2023

When it comes to regattas, they don’t get much more prestigious or highly regarded than the Régates Royales.

Taking place this year from 24-30 September, it features the European Championship of the 12 MJI – the legendary yachts which competed in the America’s Cup between 1958 and 1987.

A true highlight of the annual classic sailing calendar, the Régates Royales attracts every level from experienced racers to regular, passionate sailors who all share the dream of competing in this incredible event.

A chequered history

To understand its popularity, you need to look back at its rich and chequered history. Kicking off at the end of the roaring 1920s, the Régates Royales enjoyed a golden age for a decade, with the Danish king winning two races and coming second in another before the event sank into oblivion, becoming largely forgotten in the 1960s.

Cannes’ nautical director Jean-Pierre Odéro resurrected the regatta in 1978, with 6 and 8 MJI racing again, continuing the closely forged bond between the city of Cannes and yachting.

In 1994, classic yachts finally entered the arena and the preservation of the passion and heritage of classical yacht craft became a fundamental part of the event’s raison d’être. Jean-Pierre Odéro remained a guiding force of the Régates Royale until his death in 2003.

A world-class sailing event

Today, as the 45 th  edition, which is partnered by the Carlton Hotel in Cannes, approaches, it’s clear that enthusiasm for this iconic sailing tradition continues unabated, with more than 150 of the world’s most famous classic yachts expected to attend.

“Régates Royales is a fantastic event on the water and probably the biggest classic yacht regatta in the world,” says Thomas Bunodière, Marine Operations Director at IGY’s Vieux-Port of Cannes, who is helping to coordinate the regatta.

“This event is one of the rare opportunities where traditional yachts, pieces of history, race together. Crossing each other on the water are yachts designed by William Fife and previous legends of America’s Cup. It’s a real part of sailing history.”

Cannes: a yacht hub par excellence

The annual event gives an additional buzz to the already dynamic port where Thomas oversees yachting and leisure operations, and which has become a welcoming hub for cruise passengers, local fishermen, boaters and industry professionals. Early autumn is the optimal period weather-wise for a regatta on the Côte d’Azur, according to Thomas.

“The atmosphere on the dock is special with all the sailors interacting with great conviviality. I sail regularly in the bay of Cannes and have also had the chance to sail during previous Régates Royales.

“This bay offers some fantastic sailing conditions in September with warm water and various wind conditions. You can have light winds, summer breezes, strong westerly winds called ‘mistral’ or south-easterly conditions generated by a low on the Genoa Gulf. All these wind conditions combined with the landscape of the Estérel mountain range are the perfect cocktail for tactical games on the water.

“When you participate in a regatta, it’s always great to have the same event-identity year to year and Cannes’ Régates Royales has its own identity and atmosphere which is beloved by sailors. It’s an historical event and an unmissable date on the city calendar of Cannes. It’s also a key regatta at the end of the sailing season.”

Art, cocktails and talent

This year’s official street art inspired poster has been designed by French artist and filmmaker Thierry Guetta, also known as Mr Brainwash. “One of the highlights of the Régates Royales is to combine art and culture with sailing,” says Jean François Cutugno, President of the Yacht Club de Cannes. “It’s in the DNA of the event and the town. We like to ask a great artist to design the official poster and it’s a great honour to have Mr Brainwash this year.

“The 45 th  Régates Royales is shaping up to be a great event, with an exceptional line-up. But I’m not forgetting that the Yacht Club continues to train future champions while supporting young crews of the highest calibre, such as Matisse Pacaud and Lucie de Gennes, world youth champions from Cannes who have just won the European Championship in Poland.”

A celebratory Régates Royales Special cocktail has been created by the Carlton Hotel, comprising curaçao, gin, lemon juice and lavender syrup, with General Manager Carlo Stragiotto expressing his joy at being part of the historic proceedings. “We are delighted to be joining forces with the Yacht Club de Cannes, further reinforcing Cannes’ status as a must-see destination for yachting enthusiasts,” he says.

This year’s event looks set to be one of the most eagerly anticipated and successful yet, with Thomas adding: “The Cannes Régates Royales 2023 edition seems to already be one of the most popular editions. It will for sure have more than 100 yachts up to 55m, including a 12 MJI European Championship which will be a peak event within the regatta. These sailing boats are just legends on the water!

“I’m not sure I will be able to race this year but I would love to join a day race. A day on the water is always a great day.”

With around 1,000 sailors representing 10 nationalities taking part and approximately 5,000 visitors a day on site in Cannes during regatta week, Jean Francois Cutugno is keen to emphasise the most impressive and memorable aspect of the Régates Royales.

“It’s the history and the fact that it is a real competition unanimously appreciated by the competitors,” he says. “Our competitors don’t offer courses and organization of the same quality; they’re more focused on ‘show’.”

The entrance to the speakeasy-style Jean-Paul Members’ Bar isn’t marked—like a false wall, it blends seamlessly into the backdrop of the marble-clad gallery, which will soon sport luxury boutiques on par with the Loro Piana and Pucci outposts along the waterfront below at Nammos. 

The loungelike bar space is a quiet respite from Palm Beach’s nine other dining venues, which include first-timers in France like Zuma and Tamarin, a St. Barts favorite. Custom-crafted cognac-colored leather armchairs are huddled around midcentury modern-inspired octagonal cocktail tables, and bar stools sheathed in Loro Piana fabrics face the brass bar counter with patinated braided leather front and a statement-making, four-tiered, amber glass chandelier draped overhead. 

“Luxury is subjective and until you ask the right questions to understand what a member’s idea of luxury is, it’s hard to get it right,” says members’ club director Nicolas Ollivier, adding that discretion is another pillar of the membership philosophy, so no photos are allowed in member spaces. “If you want a Birkin, we can make that happen. Time is something we can’t offer, therefore we must ensure we give value to members’ time spent at the club by creating a sense of home, like this is an extension of your living room or office—where you never have to wait for anything.”

“The European and international aristocracy, the most fashionable actors and artists, and influential politicians—they all met up at Palm Beach,” says Ollivier. “Palm Beach holds deep historical significance in Cannes, and the project aims to meticulously preserve that while renovating this iconic building, which is integral to the city’s landscape and heritage.”
