Navigating 2023: A Calendar of the Year's Remaining Major Sailing Races and Regattas

• No Comments

The world of sailing is a vibrant tapestry of tradition, innovation, competition, and camaraderie. As we navigate through 2023, the calendar is filled with events that capture the essence of yachting, from the elegance of classic boats to the adrenaline rush of modern racing. This comprehensive guide takes you on a journey through the premier yachting events of the year, offering an in-depth look at what makes each one unique and unmissable.

Half Ton Classics Cup

• Dates: August 13 to 18
• Location: Cowes
• Circuit: Half Ton class

The Half Ton Classics Cup is more than a race; it’s a celebration of a golden era in sailing. These boats, which made their mark in the seventies and eighties, come alive again in Cowes. The event is a blend of fierce competition and nostalgic reminiscence, where sailors and spectators alike can revel in the beauty and craftsmanship of these classic vessels. With a week of racing and social events, it’s a gathering that transcends generations and rekindles the spirit of the great IOR era.

Azimuth Challenge

• Dates: September 19 to 24
• Location: North Brittany
• Circuit: IMOCA

Growing in stature with each passing year, the Azimuth Challenge in North Brittany is a festival of speed and endurance. The program is a thrilling mix of speed runs, a grueling 48-hour race, and a scenic tour of the island of Groix. The event’s unique combination of racing formats has made it a magnet for competitors, drawing an ever-increasing number of participants. It’s a showcase of skill, strategy, and the sheer joy of sailing at its best.

Mini-Transat 2023

• Date: September 24
• Location: Les Sables d’Olonne – Santa Cruz de La Palma (Canaries) – Saint-François (Guadeloupe)
• Circuit: Mini 6.50

The Mini Transat is a race that captures the imagination and challenges the soul. Held every two years, this two-stage race is a pinnacle event for the Mini 6.50 class. The journey from Les Sables d’Olonne to Guadeloupe is a test of skill, determination, and courage. After two years of rigorous training, the solo sailors embark on this epic adventure, facing the vastness of the ocean and the unpredictability of the weather. It’s a race that demands everything and rewards with an experience like no other.

Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez

• Dates: To be defined
• Location: Saint-Tropez
• Circuit: Wally, traditional yachts, modern yachts, and Maxis

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Les Voiles de Saint Tropez is a feast for the eyes and the soul. Over a week, the picturesque harbor of Saint-Tropez comes alive with 300 boats, ranging from classic beauties to sleek modern yachts. Nearly 4,000 sailors gather to celebrate the art of sailing, both on water and on land. With races, exhibitions, and social gatherings, it’s a festival that embraces the diverse and vibrant culture of yachting.

Vire Vire Banque Populaire Méditerranée

• Date: October 1st
• Location: Marseilles harbor
• Circuit: IRC, old rigs, barquettes

A tradition dating back to 1948, the Vire Vire Banque Populaire Méditerranée is a beloved event in the Marseilles harbor. Bringing together 150 boats, the race is a 13 nautical mile coastal course that weaves through iconic landmarks. It’s a celebration of maritime heritage, where old rigs and barquettes race alongside modern IRC yachts. With a blend of competition and camaraderie, it’s a race that embodies the spirit of Marseilles and its rich sailing history.

Rolex Middle Sea Race

• Date: October 21
• Location: Malta
• Circuit: IRC Solo and Duo and Class40

The Rolex Middle Sea Race is a jewel in the crown of Mediterranean sailing. Starting and finishing in Malta, the 606 nautical miles course is a breathtaking journey around Sicily. The fleet navigates through the Strait of Messina, passes the marks of the Aeolian Islands and the Stromboli volcano, and heads to the Egadi Islands, Pantelleria, and Lampedusa. It’s a race that offers both beauty and challenge, often compared to legendary races like the Rolex Fasnet Race or the Rolex Sydney-Hobart.

Transat Jacques Vabre

• Date: October 29
• Location: Le Havre – Martinique
• Circuit: IMOCA, Ocean Fifty, and Class40

The Transat Jacques Vabre is a race that transcends boundaries. Organized every two years, this double-handed race is a unique blend of partnership and competition. For the 16th edition, almost 100 duos will embark on a journey from Le Havre to Martinique. With three different courses to allow for a grouped finish, the race promises to be a thrilling spectacle. It’s a test of teamwork, strategy, and endurance, making it one of the most anticipated events of the year.

Back to Base

• Date: November 22
• Location: TBD

The Back to Base race is a new challenge for the IMOCA racers. Following the Transat Jacques Vabre, this event enables the racers to bring their boats back into the race between Martinique and Lorient. These 3,500 miles are to be sailed single-handed, adding a unique dimension to the event. It’s a race that explores the relationship between the sailor and the sea, offering a solitary journey that tests skill and resilience.

Rolex Sydney Hobart

• Dates: December 26 to 31
• Location: Sydney

An icon of Australian summer sport, the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race is a global phenomenon. Over 74 years, it has evolved into a symbol of excellence in sailing. The start in Sydney Harbour is a spectacle that captures the world’s attention, followed by a challenging course to Hobart. With media coverage that rivals national events like the Melbourne Cup or the Australian Open tennis, it’s a race that celebrates the best of sailing and ends the year on a high note.

The year 2023 promises to be a thrilling ride through the world of sailing. From the elegance of classic yachts to the cutting-edge technology of modern racers, from professional competitions to gatherings that celebrate the joy of sailing, this guide offers a glimpse into the heart and soul of the yachting world. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a lover of the sea, these events offer something unique and unforgettable. Join us as we sail through the seasons, embracing the wind, the waves, and the timeless allure of the sea.

Monaco Classic Week 2023, the world’s most beautiful vintage boats

Guaranteed spectacle in Monaco for the Monaco Classic Week 2023 , which will entertain all boating and vintage boat enthusiasts from today until Saturday, September 16. Now in its 16th edition and titled “La Belle Classe,” Monaco Classic Week 2023 is a three-day exhibition of boats of yesteryear still sailing.

Launched in 1994 as a biennial meeting, the Monaco Classic Week is one of the most prestigious events of its kind in the world, which each year amazes and astounds the public. In fact, participating boats are admitted by invitation only, ensuring the high quality of the selection, which undoubtedly gathers some of the most beautiful boats in the world and expresses the philosophy of the art of living the sea.

The boats at Monaco Classic Week 2023

More than 130 boats will take part in Monaco Classic Week 2023. Among them will be the return of some magnificent schooners, 15-meter IR yachts and elegant Riva powerboats, as well as, of course, many other vintage sailing and motor boats. To kick things off, Tuiga , the flagship of the Yacht Club de Monaco, will join the other two 15M IR yachts, The Lady Anne and Mariska, for an inaugural regatta, while the Jury, chaired by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, will begin its inspection for the ‘La Belle Classe Restoration’ Prize. Its aim is to ensure that these boats will stand the test of time, faithful to the original design.

But the names on the parade at Monaco Classic Week 2023 do not end there, each with its own charm and history. For example, we cannot fail to mention O’Remington. the schooner owned by Lord Remington, a wealthy American heir. Illustrious names like Federico Fellini, Luchino Visconti, Marcello Mastroianni and Maria Callas went on board. Visitors can also admire Naema (40.59m). This faithful replica of Alfred Mylne’s Panda left the Camper & Nicholson yard in 1938. Offered as a gift to King Bao Da of Anam (Vietnam) by the French government the boat found refuge in Toulon after the French withdrew from Indochina in 1954. Sold to the American Bill Bodle in 1979, Panda then left for the West Indies. In 1983, a fire on board almost destroyed her. But fortunately for us, it was rebuilt according to the original design.

Last but not least, Thelas , the motor yacht built in 1936 by De Vries Lentsch from the architect Norman Hart’s drawings. With a length of 18meters, Thelas won the first edition of the Pavillon d’Or in 1937, the inaugural race for cruisers. Requisitioned in 1944 by the British Admiralty, she took part in the Normandy landings and now belongs to Italian architect Corrado Lopresto, famous for having one of the most important classic car collections in the world. Today, Thelas is the official yacht for the CIM (Comité International de la Méditerranée).

The photo exhibition

In addition to the parade of these fascinating vintage boats, Monaco Classic Week 2023 will feature celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Prince Rainier III , founder of the Monaco Yacht Club in 1953. To celebrate it, the event will feature an exclusive exhibition dedicated to some of the beautiful boats owned by the prince himself, a man who deeply loved the sea and boating. Entitled ‘ The Prince and the Sea ’, the retrospective is open to the public until Saturday, September 16 and traces 15 boats from Prince Rainier’s wonderful photographic collection. The full Monaco Classic Week 2023 program can be found at www.monacoclassicweek.com .

The top superyacht regattas to add to your 2024 calendar

Related articles.

From the South of France to St Barths, the superyacht regatta calendar is packed with opportunities for owners to race their boats in stunning settings. Whether you are looking for keen competition or are more interested in the après scene, we are here to help you pick the perfect contest.

Oyster World Rally, Antigua

From 14 january, 2024 .

By the finish of the 22/23 rally, more than 100 Oysters had circumnavigated over the decade that the British builder has been running these rallies. Dozens more will have their chance at the next one, which heads west from Antigua and makes 15 stopovers on the 16-month route.

New Zealand Millennium Cup, Auckland

February 23-26, 2024.

Postponed from 2023, the Millennium Cup 2024 takes place in a new location – Auckland, aka the City of Sails, which eases logistics for international owners. There is also a new multihull division as well. What isn’t changing is the fun racing with a Kiwi flavour.

Superyacht Challenge, Antigua

March 11-17, 2024.

Defining superyachts as vessels over 24.4 metres, this regatta offers four days of lively racing from the entrance to English Harbour as well as relaxed parties brimming with camaraderie in historic Nelson’s Dockyard.

The race is held annually in Nelson’s Dockyard and comprises daily pursuit races, and an optional race around the island, with the start and finish line just off English Harbour. Entrants are divided into three classes — buccaneers, corsairs and privateers — and all compete under the ORC Superyacht Rule.

Rather than a traditional trophy, winners receive barrels of rum, suitably filled in true Caribbean style. Additional awards include best-dressed crew, loudest Caribbean shirt, and a cook-off between crews. In fact, the only trophy awarded is the Gosnell Trophy, which is given to the crew that has "competed in the Spirit of the Regatta" both on the water and ashore.

St Barths Bucket Regatta

March 21-24, 2024.

The St Barths Bucket Regatta attracts some of the finest sailors and sailing yachts from across the world and is always a highlight on the racing calendar. This invitation-only event welcomes around 40 superyachts (usually upwards of 30 metres in length) to the sandy shores of St Barths each year.

The racing has traditionally been on three courses but organisers have said they now have 30 options to choose from.

Off the water, owners have their choice of countless invitations, from private gatherings to the Bucket-affiliated soiree at Tamarin as well as the final awards ceremony party, which is traditionally held at the five-star Eden Rock hotel. At the yacht hop, some owners have been known to fly in thousands of oysters and host aerial silk performers, which proves that the old Bucket spirit of winning the party — if not the day on the water — is still prevalent.

The 2024 fleet is already shaping up nicely with regatta regulars such as the 56-metre Malek , 51-metre Red Dragon and 35-metre Whisper all making a return, with the new 59-metre Maximus also anticipated to join. 

Les Voiles de St Barths Richard Mille

April 14-20, 2024.

A relative newcomer to the racing scene, Les Voiles de St Barths may not be steeped in history like many long-timers on this list, but it has swiftly become a calendar staple since its inception in 2010. It welcomes a serious fleet of modified racers and mini maxis - think TP52s and JV72s - among smaller racing boats and a multihull fleet.

Now in its 13th year, the event will see the fleet return to the red-roofed town of Gustavia in St Barths. Like the bucket, the regatta is powered by reliable trade winds that arrive from the east, which means very few days are lost due to unfavourable weather conditions. Racecourses make use of the landscape with clusters of rocks punching out of the water that serve as marks. Some more competitive teams even send divers down to see how close they can get before having to tack off.

Racing is close and competitive but things are much more laid back ashore. The lay day usually consists of a long lunch at Nikki Beach followed by tug of war and diving for bottles of Barons de Rothschild champagne.

Giorgio Armani Superyacht Regatta

June 4-8, 2024.

The Sardinian superyacht regatta is back as the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda welcomes Giorgio Armani as its title sponsor for the second year.

Where other regattas may have a T-shirts and flip-flops feel, Sardinia is about glamour in the playground of the Italian elite. It’s not all focused on the nightlife, though; any serious sailor knows racing here is not for the faint-hearted.

“Sardinia is, in my eyes, the most exceptional regatta area in the world,” says the owner of  WinWin . And he's not wrong. Competitors can expect stronger winds from the northwest and have to navigate rocks jutting out of the water in Bomb Alley — the passage between Sardinia and La Maddalena archipelago.

The regatta is always capped off with an evening at Phi Beach —  WinWin ’s owner says it’s the best party of any regatta. It’s a quintessentially Italian summer scene, with guests treated to glorious sunset views and music from top DJs piped through bars and dance floors interspersed among the rocks right on the water.

Entry is open to superyachts with a minimum length of 27.43 metres and the event will also encompass the Southern Wind Rendezvous.

Superyacht Cup, Palma

June 19-22, 2024.

This annual event for yachts over 24 metres is the longest-running superyacht regatta in Europe, and now incorporates a Corinthian Spirit Class

A laid-back southern Mediterranean vibe prevails at the Superyacht Cup in Palma, Europe’s longest-running superyacht regatta. Leave your jackets and ties at home; this is a shorts and T-shirt event. Uniquely, this regatta is contained within a fenced-in event village, proving that relaxed and informal can also mean ultra-exclusive.

While racing in the Bay of Palma may not offer the same dramatic scenery as the Caribbean, it is ideal for newcomers who may find rounding inflatable marks less daunting than a rocky outcrop, and its more sheltered position means there are no boat-breaking big seas. The race committee has the ability to set courses in the bay to suit the fleet and to really give every yacht a better chance to sail to its rating.

Last year's fixture welcomes a quartet of J Class entries, Svea , Topaz , Ranger and Velsheda .

Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup

September 8-14,  2024.

The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup is the highlight of many a Maxi racing calendar and is back for its 34th edition in 2024. Staged off Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda - known for its rocky scenery and turquoise waters – it continues to attract dedicated owners, highly skilled crews and exceptional yachts. 

This year's Cup follows a hugely successful event last year. Racing is open to yachts of at least 18.29 metres and, for the first time this year, multihulls can join its ranks.

Oyster Palma Regatta, Palma

September 21–25, 2024 .

Taking place at the new venue of Port Adriano, this special edition celebrates 50 years of Oyster Yachts. In addition to the friendly competition over four days of racing, there will be an owners’ dinner to commemorate its half-century of building bluewater cruising yachts.

Ibiza JoySail, Balearic Islands

September 19-22, 2024.

Now in its fourth edition and growing exponentially each year, this laid-back regatta welcomes maxis and superyachts for offshore and coastal racing in the Balearic Islands, along with plenty of onshore socialising hosted by STP Palma and Marina Ibiza.

Les Voiles de St Tropez

September 26 – 6 october, 2024.

The Mediterranean big-boat racing season winds down with Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez. But don't be fooled, this is no small soirée. The event is the largest gathering of Maxis yachts in the world as owners and crew come together and toast to the last of the summer sun with a week of good old-fashioned racing. 

Swan Med Regatta-Tuscany Challenge, Marina di Scarlino, Italy

October 2024 .

New to the calendar last year, the inaugural Tuscany Challenge gathered Med-based Swan owners for a first ever Med-based end-of-season regatta set against the stunning backdrop of the Tuscan archipelago. This Nautor Swan Experience gathering celebrates the entire Swan world across a three-day competition. Hosted by the Yacht Club Isole di Toscana, it determines the world champions in the ClubSwan 50, ClubSwan 42 and ClubSwan 36.

Back in the 60’s….

Classic yachts in English Harbour had begun chartering and the captains and crews challenged each other to a race down to Guadeloupe at the end of the charter season. From this informal race, Antigua Sailing Week was formed in 1967, and in those days all of the yachts were classic.

Over the next 24 years…

The classic yachts were slowly outnumbered by the faster, sleeker modern racing yachts. A small number of classics still racing in 1987 found themselves grouped with cruising Class 3 which was less than ideal for these hard to manoeuvre full-keeled vessels.

And so it came…

Captains Uli Pruesse and Kenny Coombs hosted a meeting with other classic skippers onboard the magnificent schooner Aschanti of Saba and, several rums later, the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta was born.
