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.

cannes classic yacht regatta 2023

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.

cannes classic yacht regatta 2023

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.

cannes classic yacht regatta 2023

“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.”

cannes classic yacht regatta 2023

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’.”

Destination

classic sailing yacht

In 1926, William Fife III launched the 24.7m cutter Hallowe’en . According to William Fife III, designer of a number of classic yachts still racing today, “ Hallowe’en is the perfect gentleman’s yacht. She is a jewel”. When gaff-rigged racers dominated various regattas, he chose to rig the yacht as a low-aspect Bermudan cutter. Her mast and boom heights continued to change over the years, and eventually, she was transformed into a yawl.

Under new owner Alfred Larsen, a Norwegian industrialist, she returned to the Atlantic after racing in the Mediterranean for several years. The yacht became the official yacht of the Royal Norwegian Racing Club and was helmed by Prince Olaf numerous times. Following her transatlantic journey in 1938, she vanished from radar screens. She was further renamed Cotton Blosson IV by Walter Wheeler and continued her history of ocean racing before eventually being donated to the Classic Boat Museum in New Port, Rhode Island, for a much-needed refit.As a result of funds drying up in New Port, Hallowe’en was in need of a new owner and returned to the Mediterranean when Elizabeth Meyer (owner of J-Class Endeavour) assisted in finding a buyer.

From 1988 to 1991, Hallowe’en was carefully restored to her original lines at the Classic Boat Works in Newport, Rhode Island. All sawn English Oak frames were carefully repaired or replaced, and the planking was secured with bronze fasteners from the museum. Having undergone some major changes in France in 1994, she underwent another transformation in 1998, perhaps looking better now than ever. After several refits (and owners), she is now available for charter in the Mediterranean, where she races competitively in the classic regatta circuit spanning France, Corsica, Spain, and Italy. The latest refit was performed in 2009 by Fairlie Restorations on the Hamble river, UK.

Classic Charme

Hallowe’en is undoubtedly one of the most stunning yachts on the regatta scene. This fast and excellent Fife-built cruiser/racer is highly recommended for charter by anyone seeking a vintage wooden sailing yacht of the highest quality. In addition to being one of the most beautiful Fifes ever built, she is able to make fast passages across the oceans and still wins classic regattas. With her original mahogany interior, Hallowe’en is one of the finest vintage racing yachts in the Mediterranean.

Cannes Yachting Festival 2023: Everything you need to know

The Cannes Yachting Festival is due to return from 12-17 September 2023.

Founded in 1977, the Cannes boat show takes place in the beautiful French city every September and showcases almost 600 boats, including motor yachts, superyachts , catamarans, tenders and sailing yachts.

The in-water show in the Bay of Cannes takes place in two of the city’s ports, the Vieux Port and Port Pierre Canto.

What’s new at the Cannes Yachting Festival?

New for 2023, the organisers have created a small boats area, focussed on craft measuring between 8m and 11m long.

Located in the Old Port on the Pantiero, next to the inflatables, this new marina with pontoons positioned at the end of the quays offers a comprehensive view of all the boats in this very popular size bracket.

How to get to the Cannes Yachting Festival

From Nice airport you can get a shuttle bus direct to Cannes, or buses 200 and 210. If you prefer taking a cab, a taxi will cost from around €55, depending on the number of passengers.

If money is no object and you want to travel in style, then book a helicopter with Azur Hélicoptère, which will take you from Nice to Cannes in around seven minutes and for just over €500.

Where to stay during the Cannes Yachting Festival

Guide to the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023

  • Silvia Pretto
  • August 2, 2023

For over 45 years, the Cannes Yachting Festival has been the first major international event of the boating season, as well as the Europe’s largest in-water boat show.

The 2023 6-day edition, which will be held from September 12-17, will certainly enchant the 55 thousand visitors expected with more than 650 boats on display, ranging from 5 to 50 meters, in response to the most varied owner needs.

A major new feature of the 2023 event is the creation of “The small boat area”, an area afloat in the Vieux Port, which will accommodate smaller boats , from 8 to 11 meters in length. The area will accommodate over 50 boats , once again offering the most eclectic offer possible, satisfying the demands of many exhibitors and owners, and also broadening the target audience.

“Thanks to the renewed confidence of our exhibitors, this 2023 edition is looking very good with similar forecasts to the previous year, i.e. 600 exhibitors, more than 650 boats and 140 previews – explains Sylvie Ernoult, Director of the Yachting Festival , before adding – Once again this year, our visitors will enjoy discovering some real gems in-water and on land, boats of all sizes and types, equipped with “traditional” or carbon-free engines with the first on-board electric, hybrid or hydrogen power systems. As is the case every year, all our teams are mobilised on a daily basis to offer a memorable experience to our exhibitors and visitors”.

This year’s edition of the Cannes Yachting Festival will host a large number of word premieres , the latest nautical equipment and numerous innovations, divided according to the reference activities of each port. Here is the guide to all the exhibition areas of this year’s event.

The Vieux Port: the world of motorboats

The Vieux Port, one of the oldest on the Côte d’Azur, plays host each year to modern and classic motor units presented by the world’s leading shipyards. This area focuses entirely on the motorboat industry and has an exceptional variety of units totaling almost 500 boats in water and on land, from small boats from 5 meters upwards to the largest prestigious superyachts exceeding 45 meters.

The Jetée area will welcome the major international shipyards and unveil their latest innovations presented as world previews. Boats above 22 metres will be exhibited here.

The Super Yachts Extension comprises three floating barges and will feature some thirty of the largest motor super yachts of over 24 metres exhibited at the Vieux Port.

catamarans

The Quai Saint-Pierre will exhibit luxury day-boats and powerboats ranging from 10 to 23 metres. Other types of model medium-sized open boats and fly-bridge boats will also feature on this quay, standing out for their design, power and elegance.

electric

Installed since 2021, opposite the Pantiero and the Quai Saint-Pierre, around fifty semi-rigid 10 to 20 metre boats will be on show in the middle of the water body; there is also an area showcasing some fifteen electric and hybrid boats.

sailing area

Port Canto: the realm of sailing

The Port Canto, located at the end of the Croisette, hosts three distinct areas: The Sailing area installed since 2019 is the biggest global in-water showcase for new super yachts. This magical place hosts over 120 yachts from 10 to 26 metres, including monohulls and multihulls.

Also at the heart of the Sailing area, the “ Start-up Village “, launched in 2021, highlights “smart” start-ups in the marine sector offering breakthrough technologies or services with high added value while protecting the maritime area. These start-ups are creating the future of yachting: yachting that is more powerful, more responsible and more environmentally friendly.

Last but not least, the “Toys” area, established in 2018, takes advantage of the wide areas of this dyke to exhibit on-land an increasingly large selection of sport, fun and nautical activities equipment.

Cannes Yachting Festival: on-land exhibition areas

On land are the exhibition areas dedicated to the marine accessories. The Equipment Village , for example, accommodates the ultimate in electronics, fittings, paints, as well as the essential accessories to maintain your boat from the major international companies.

The Palais des Festivals is home to a large area dedicated to high-end yachting players: shipyards, architects and designers, interior fittings, tourism institutions and marinas, service companies and the Tender area.

luxury

Last but not least, the Green Route, starting two years ago (when it was created), is becoming more and more important, giving space to the ecological transition and eco-sustainability issues, which are becoming increasingly relevant in the nautical world. For this reason, the ‘green’ route stretching from one side of the Croisette to the other will be central to addressing the issues of reducing the environmental impact of pleasure boating with boatyards and exhibitors, while also raising the awareness of visitors to take a more eco-sustainable approach to our seas.

While waiting to see what the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023 will have in store for us this year, The International Yachting Media as a media partner will keep you up to date with the news and everything about the festival.

From an 80-ft. power cat covered with solar panels to a 55-foot weekender that tops 65 mph, this year’s event has a range of styles and new technologies.

The Cannes Yachting Festival returns with a collection of 650 boats ranging from 16  to 164 feet. Divided between Vieux Port for motoryachts and Port Canto for sailing yachts, the event has been modified this year with a new flotilla for boats up to 36 feet.

Around 54,000 visitors are expected to descend on the tony French Riviera port from September 12 to 17 to walk the docks and focus on the latest launches.

Here is our preview of 15 great yachts making their global debuts.

ISA, ‘UV II’

Conceived from the drawingboard of Enrico Gobbi’s Team for Design, with an interior by Luca Dini, the 145-foot  UV II  was delivered earlier this year but is now for sale via Fraser Yachts. The plumb bow, sleek profile, and radar arch gives the boat a sporty appearance. The boat has five staterooms, including a master suite and two VIP staterooms, with exterior features like an unusually wide beach club at the stern, a main-deck Jacuzzi and lounge, and a second lounge on the upper deck.

wallywhy150

The wallywhy150 is the second model in its Why series, following the 2021 launch of the wallywhy200. The raised pilothouse design offers exceptional interior space, while still focusing on the exterior. The main salon has floor-to-ceiling glass, with more than eight feet of headroom. Wally designers also opted to incorporate just one helm topsides, which frees up space for the owner’s cabin on the main deck. Following on the wallywhy200’s design, the owner’s bed has a 270-degree view of the water through the bow. It’s a smart use of space, giving the owners the best views in the house. On the lower deck are three guest cabins or, if the owner wants, two larger VIP staterooms.

Southern Wind Nyumba 15 Best Launches at the Cannes Yachting Festival

Southern Wind ‘Nyumba’

Southern Wind’s 96 series  Nyumba  (meaning home in Swahili) is the South African builder’s first hybrid sailing yacht. The vessel is being shown publicly for the first time at Cannes but has already done a 7,500-mile voyage from Cape Town to Malta. The boat features a system that allows for zero-emissions cruising and extended range under power.

80 Sunreef Power Eco 16 Best Launches at the Cannes Yachting Festival

80 Sunreef Power Eco

Described by Sunreef as “the world’s most advanced electric motoryacht,” the 80 Sunreef Power Eco centers around the brand’s commitment to sustainability and green technology. The solar-powered catamaran is equipped with two 180kW engines and a 440kWh battery bank that was designed to be lightweight. Solar cells are built into almost every conceivable space on the hull and superstructure, regulated by a smart energy management system. Even the furniture on this four-stateroom catamaran is made of sustainable flax fiber. Still, there are luxe features like a Jacuzzi on the bow terrace and a garage for water toys.

Azimut S7 15 Best Launches at the Cannes Yachting Festival

The 71-foot Azimut S7 is a technologically advanced sports coupe with fast navigation. The hard-chine hulled yacht joins the shipyard’s growing family of low emission yachts, pairing easy handling with the lowest fuel consumption in its category. And it does so without compromising on performance. Powered by three compact Volvo Penta D13 IPS 1050 engines with 800 hp each, the S7 reaches a top speed of 35 knots. Seamless glazing runs along the length of the superstructure uniting the Alberto Mancini–designed exterior with the open-plan interior. A key feature is the open “sportfly” upper deck, which gives the best views on board.

Designed by Valerio Rivellini and set to debut at Cannes, the 59-foot sporty Evo R+ builds on the last-generation Evo R. It is conceived for long stays on board. A closed deck with generous headroom provides comfort and shelter. A large stern platform is where guests sunbathe, socialize, and have access the sea, as well as facilitate the easy launch and retrieval of the boat’s tender. More sun lounging is at the bow, while the black aluminum hardtop gives the R+ a sporty-looking profile. Its shallow draft allows access to small bays and sandy shores.

Apreamare 35 Gozzo Speedster

Italy’s Apreamare has taken the “Gozzo” style far beyond the traditional, rounded-chine fishing boats of nearby Sorrento and created contemporary dayboats and cruisers with deep-V hulls. While there are hints of the centuries-old Gozzo look on the slightly rounded bow and stern, the Apreamare series are in every other sense modern planing vessels. With its walkaround design that should do well in the U.S. market, the new Gozzo 35 Speedster is jumping into the outboard craze with a vengeance, with two Mercury 400-hp V10s on the stern. That delivers a 42-knot top speed, but dialed back to 30 knots, it has a range of 300 nautical miles.

Riva 82 Diva 15 Yachts Launching at Cannes Yachting Festival

Riva 82 Diva

The Riva 82 Diva is the new entry-level model in the Italian shipyard’s flybridge range. Despite its compact size, it offers the same level of outdoor livability found aboard the four larger models. Focus is placed on the flybridge, which offers three separate spaces: a central lounge complete with dinette and bar, a sunbathing area forward, and a second lounge area. When guests want to be closer to the water, a large beach club with oversized sunpads on the aft deck answers the call. Officina Italiana Design did the interior and exterior, while Ferretti Group’s naval architects gave it a speedy 31-knot top end.

Centounonavi Vespro 55

This 55-footer from Italy comes from Centounoavi, a new brand that translates as “one hundred and one boats.” Go figure. While the name may not make sense, cofounder Marco Arnaboldi is the son of Angelo Arnaboldi, who built a successful go-fast yacht empire called AB Yachts. Marco’s Vespro has a contemporary look and retains the focus on speed, with top end reaching 56 knots (64 mph) and cruise of 50 knots (57.5 mph.) All that speed comes from 1,200 hp MAN diesels connected to MJP 350X waterjets. The Vespro either makes a great day boat or weekend cruiser, with the extra oomph to get offshore and back to port quickly.

Pershing GTX116

The first hull in Pershing’s new GTX line makes its world debut at Cannes this year. Described by the shipyard as a sport utility yacht, the 115-foot GTX116 combines volume with comfort with more than 1600 feet of open-air space designed to enhance the connection with its surroundings. A gray hull and customized blue superstructure are mated to glossy interior surfaces reflecting natural sunlight that make the rooms feel brighter and larger, including the five staterooms. Designed by Fulvio De Simoni, Pershing’s sporty DNA is evident in the boat’s streamlined profile, pointy bow, storage for toys and equipment at the stern, and a large swim platform for guests to access the water.

Arcadia Yachts A96

Designer Igor Lobanov is renowned for his arresting superyacht exteriors, yet his eye for interiors comes to the fore in the new Arcadia Yachts A96. According to the Italian shipyard, its latest 95-footer is geared toward owners who are looking for “an authentically holistic experience of wellbeing on the water.” The flexible layout includes five guest cabins, with accommodations for a crew of five. A key feature are the large, glazed windows that slide open to let the outdoors in. Noise and vibration are kept to a minimum in the guest areas, thanks to the boat’s Volvo Penta IPS propulsion system located near the stern. The vessel has joystick maneuverability for maneuvering and electric fin stabilizers for comfort. The boat’s draft and compact engine size also make it suitable for cruising in shallow waters.

Sanlorenzo SX100

Making its world premiere at Cannes is Sanlorenzo’s full custom SX100. Forming part of the brand’s crossover range, it has signature fold-down terraces and a large open transom that serves as both a sundeck area and beach club for socializing. It also houses a large collection of water toys, including a 19-foot tender. The owner requested a large main salon with floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the outdoors in. Sea terraces behind the two top decks offer private areas for relaxing. The five guest cabins, include an owner’s suite and VIP. The vessel was designed to have a large footprint on a smaller scale.

Bluegame BGM75

Bluegame is a brand on seeking to break free of conventional categories. Its first catamaran, the BGM75, debuts at Cannes this year. The 75-footer is spread across two hulls, yet the builder eschews the multihull label. It believes the boat’s reduced beam and “less boxy” design, not to mention the fact that the two hulls are not visibly separate, places it closer to the monohull segment. Either way, the boat offers owners stability, reduced fuel consumption, and large volume, including a full-beam owner’s cabin. A spacious beach area, large salon, and connected cockpits complete the new take on multihull design.

Sirena Yachts sold 18 slots of its new Sirena 48 before the first hull even touched water. Making its world debut at Cannes, the 52-footer gives owners a range of customizable layouts. This includes the choice of a closed aft seating area or an open plan stern layout. Owners also have the option to install a hardtop on the flybridge, with enough solar panels to power the boat’s hotel load. A semi-displacement hull delivers fast planing performance yet can be put into displacement mode for more efficient cruising.

The Silent 62 making its world debut at Cannes is the first tri-decked solar electric catamaran from Silent Yachts. Based on the Silent 60 platform, the boat’s 6.5-foot length extension provides 538-square-foot of extra space. The additional third deck, which replaces the retractable flybridge found on previous models, comes with three different layout options: an open sky lounge, a closed sky lounge, or an owner’s suite. The Silent 62 is equipped with 42 solar panels achieving up to 17 kWp, which gives the yacht up to 100 miles daily cruising, reduced fumes and vibrations, and a silent cruise when in electric mode. The yacht’s optional hydraulic stern platform doubles as a swim platform and can accommodate an 18-foot tender.

How Keanu Reeves Inspired Hank Green to Change the Punchline of His ‘Pissing Out Cancer’ Dropout Comedy Special

Hank Green

After touring his “Pissing Out Cancer” standup comedy special, YouTube star Hank Green made one significant change to the set the night before filming the televised version for indie streamer Dropout , and that decision was in part thanks to Keanu Reeves.

The quote isn’t from “The Matrix” or “John Wick,” but from an interview Reeves did on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” in May 2019.

“When he was asked, ‘What do you think happens after we die?,’ he said, ‘I know that the ones who love us will miss us,'” Green said. “So to turn away from, ‘What is my experience of sickness and death?,’ to ‘What is the human experience?’ And I’m just one piece of human experience, and the things that come after me will also be beautiful. So in the last line of my show, I wanted to say, this whole show has been about me, but actually, the whole show is about humans and the experience of being human: a weird jumble of cells that’s experiencing the universe. That line is the line that I wrote and added to the end of the show, and it changed it a lot for me.”

Then Dropout (formerly CollegeHumor) CEO Sam Reich got a look at a rough cut from Green and they struck a deal to film a polished version for the streamer, which has an existing relationship with Green through his guest star role on Dungeons & Dragons-playing show on “Dimension 20.” And after this, Green would like to do more.

“I watch pretty much everything they make. I think I would be too intimidated to be on ‘Very Important People,’ but extremely comfortable being on ‘Breaking News.’ I think I could kill it on ‘Breaking News.’ I’ve not filmed anything with them since this, but I would love to. I live in Montana, so it’s kind of a pain to get to LA and do stuff.”

In fact, Green was approached by Reich to be involved in the recent season finale of Dropout’s “Game Changer,” a two-part episode called “Ratfish” that’s based on the reality series “The Circle,” but wasn’t able to make it work. “Sam was very persuasive, and he almost got me there, but I did not show up,” Green said, adding that he would consider it again in the future: “There are times when I watch ‘Game Changer’ and I’m like, ‘I could do that.’ And there are times when I watch and I’m like, ‘I could definitely not do that.’ But Sam is extremely encouraging.”
