Mediterranean Racing Season Set to Open in Style

Three days of mounting tension and hard-fought tactical duels were played out on the turquoise waters of sunny St. Barths and saw amongst others the 45m newly launched Unfurled and the performance Perini P2 come out on top. The bucket's final day of racing also marked the end of the Caribbean racing season and consequently some of the world's most stunning superyachts are currently making their way across the Atlantic in order to continue combat in pretty Porto Cervo, home of the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta.

'Les Gazelles des Mers' victor Unfurled and the dazzling carbon rigged racer Inouï, both built by the prestigious Vitters yard, not only competed in the St. Barths Bucket but will also take part in Porto Cervo. Subsequently they will conclude their battles in the bay of Palma during the Superyacht Cup and with the rip-roaring array of sail power taking up this year's challenge, competition is promising to be tough and tight.
