Nauta Design lined up four super sail yachts at the ongoing Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta which ended last week, with two of those reporting top positions; Cookson 84’ MY SONG in Class ‘’B’’ and Southern Wind 82’ Grande Orzaio in Class ‘’CC’’ …



The ultimate super sail racing event, the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta, first launched in 2008, ended up last week, opening up the Mediterranean superyacht calendar. Sucessfully organised by the YCCS (Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in Sardinia) and Boat International Media, it attracted an ever-increasing fleet of sailing yachts. All type of super sail yachts, from modern to classic, from performance to cruising hulls, all headed for the stunningly emerald sea waters of Island of Sardinia in June, all intent on four days of exhilarating sailing. Press Release:

Light winds, fair weather and high temperatures, slightly different conditions from the usual windy June in Sardinia, ruled this year edition. Nauta Yachts lined up 4 boats on 15 entries: Cookson 84’ My Song in Class “B” and SW 100’ Blues, SW 100’ Cape Arrow and SW 82’ Grande Orazio in Class “C”.

During the three-day regatta, the competition among the 15 boats has been strongly fought, even in the gentle breeze and summer holiday condition of the sea.

The Class B standings was easily set by My Song, holding an unassailable lead after three first out of three races.

In Class C, third race was the day for the three Southern Wind / Nauta yachts taking part in the regatta.

Grande Orazio showed to be in top form, and she quickly forged through the fleet. Meanwhile, Blues and Cape Arrow were engaging in an epic duel that would see Blues hold on at the end to cross the line just 21 seconds ahead of her Southern Wind sistership, a thrilling conclusion to the race. Grande Orazio’s emphatic victory of third race made her to lead at the head of Class C, with three wins out of three.

Two first places out of three Classes at the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta 8^th edition, confirmed the combined souls of Nauta design, performance and elegance in comfort, celebrating at best the 30^th anniversary of the Milan based studio.

Belgian property company chartered a luxury sailing yacht XNOI during the prestigious Cannes event MIPIM in March 2015. They stated the lovely XNOI was even better than they expected and this spectacular yacht with the fabulous captain Marco made all the difference. Their event proved successful even if the allocated choice of berth did not serve the purpose in the best possible way. The successful charter is likely to be repeated within 12 months.
