Classic Yacht Regattas 2018

The CYI Classic Yacht Regattas listing for 2018 is up and running. We will fill in the rest as they come but you can start your planning NOW! With CYI sponsoring the first ever White Island Regatta in Ibiza earlier this year and now affiliated with the popular Vela Classica Mallorca (Club de Mar) both the listing and the brand are synonymous with the classic racing scene. Please enjoy and if your regatta is missing from the list or you have any questions you can contact us here.

“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.”
