Festival of sailing – Yacht Club Costa Smeralda

It’s not often one gets the chance to see Neville Crichton’s ultra-modern Reichel-Pugh designed Maxi sloop Alfa Romeo (NZL) take to a starting line alongside Tuiga (MON), the Yacht Club Monaco’s 30 metre 1909 launched Fife sloop, and a fleet of Smeralda 888s, but that was the sight enjoyed by numerous lucky spectators at the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda 40th Anniversary Regatta this morning.
