The World Yacht Racing Forum is pleased to announce that its partnership with Yacht Club de Monaco is renewed for the second consecutive year. The Monegasque club will once again be the event’s official host, under the Patronage of HSH Prince Albert II, President of the YCM since 1984.
“The first edition of the Forum assembled the whole yachting fraternity in the Principality”, says Bernard d’Alessandri, General Secretary of the Yacht Club de Monaco. “The event was very successful and we were very pleased that it helped promote essential values such as solidarity, respect for others, naval etiquette and respect for the environment, values that our Club defends within La Belle Classe. The Principality of Monaco has always been very active within the world of Yachting, with the organisation of the first regattas held in the bay of Monaco in 1862. The first international events for motorboats were held in 1904, and since then Monaco has become world famous as the centre of innovation and fashionable water sports, attracting some of the biggest names in finance, industry, entertainment and Yachting. The Forum enables the yachting world to meet every year to reinforce the links between all the different aspects of the sport and the leading players, thus contributing to the development of sailing. It is about the future of our sport.”
The second edition of the World Yacht Racing Forum will take place on December 9 – 10, 2009 in Monaco. The purpose of the event is to create a global platform for the most important sailing events, racing teams, pro sailors, race managers and finest sailing venues from all over the world. It allows delegates to debate the latest issues critical to the future of yacht racing.
The detailed event schedule, as well as a first draft list of speakers, will be published shortly.
The Yacht Club de Monaco is one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious yacht clubs, located in the heart of Monte Carlo. The Club is known for its commitment to tradition and in particular classic yachts, with the organisation every two years of Monaco Classic Week. This event, from the 16th to 20th September 2009, which will celebrate the centenary anniversary of Tuiga, flagship of the YCM, brings together early motorised day boats, vintage motor yachts, and classic sailboats in the Bay of Monaco. The Club also organises some of the most important regattas in the Mediterranean, such as the annual Primo Cup, and hosting in 2010 the Surprise European Championship.
