SIGN UP NOW FOR THE CHIAVARI SAILING CUP
An event prized above all for its winning formula: anyone can participate, all you need is a sailboat over 4 meters in length of any type, whether racing or cruising, there are no age limits for crews, rankings are based on length, and whoever comes in first wins. Zero bureaucracy, just fun! And it is because of this spirit that there are already more than 80 entries for the TAG Heuer VELA Cup in Chiavari. Among them are pushed boats such as Itacentodue, Adriano Calvini’s Ice Yachts 61 or Caligu Terzo, the 1965 Carter One Off with Francesco Gandolfi at the helm, but also many serial cabin cruisers that represent the emblem of cruising under sail: Bavaria, Baltic, Bénéteau, Jeanneau, Grand Soleil.
Double celebration with the ICE Cup featuring the beautiful ICE Yachts
But the celebration of the TAG Heuer VELA Cup in Chiavari is double because within it there will also be the ICE Cup, now in its third edition, in which the splendid boats of the ICE Yachts and CN Yachts 2000 shipyard take part. Among them is “Otra Vez,” the ICE 52 recently dominating regattas in Maltese waters, but also several ICE 60s including “Joy,” “Venilia” and “Pura Follia.” There will also be no shortage of the very fast ICE 71 “Black Koala.” Giving all these boats, so different from each other, an equal chance to win, will be provided by the rating system developed by ICE Yachts itself, which will allow for a fair comparison.
