Entries are open for the 2027 YCCS Superyacht Regatta, returning to Porto Cervo, Sardinia, from 25th to 29th May and bringing together sailing superyachts to mark the opening of the Mediterranean superyacht racing season.
Organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS), the event will coincide with the club's 60th anniversary celebrations and will again incorporate the Southern Wind Rendezvous & Trophy, now in its 21st edition.
J Class yachts and multihulls will also return to the Costa Smeralda, competing on dedicated courses with separate classifications.
The regatta is open to sailing superyachts measuring at least 80 feet (24.4 metres), along with J Class yachts and multihulls of 50 feet (15.2 metres) or more. Entries will be divided into classes according to yacht size and performance characteristics.
A Corinthian Spirit division will also be available within the superyacht classes for yachts meeting the eligibility requirements outlined in the Notice of Race.
Southern Wind owners can join the competitive racing fleet or participate in the more informal Rendezvous programme, which features cruising around the islands of the La Maddalena Archipelago without an official results classification.
Four days of racing are scheduled from Wednesday, 26th May, to Saturday, 29th May, with coastal courses set among the waters of the Costa Smeralda and La Maddalena Archipelago.
The superyacht and multihull fleets are scheduled to sail four coastal races, while the J Class fleet may complete up to seven races.
Staggered starts will be used for the superyacht classes and Southern Wind Rendezvous participants, while the J Class and multihull fleets will have fleet starts.
Entries close on 15th April 2027, with a reduced entry fee available to yachts entering by 15th March.
