Régates Royales of Cannes

Although the first edition of the "International Regattas of Cannes" unfolded itself in 1906, it is only in the 20th that they took the nickname of "Royal" in honor of SM Christian X'S, king of Denmark and constant participant to the wheel of his 6M JI "DANA".

Abandoned in 1964, the Municipality asked the Yacht Club of Cannes for the "revive" in 1978 in order to relocate the City in the world of the prestige yachting. Three 8 M JI and a 6 M JI in 1978.., the "Royal Regattas®-Trophée Panerai" surpassed the 200 competitors in 2006, from the Dragon to the gigantic one
"Class J" while going through the big schooners and the 12 M JI of the preceding American Cup.

Specifically, in order not to say unique, the "Royal Regattas®-Trophée Panerai" , refusing to increase excessively in order to keep their characteristic: the Race. If the goal of the test is to rediscover itself fascinated and beautiful objects, on the most beautiful boats of the World in one of the more beautiful ways of the World, we will come first to the "Royal". But the sea does not exclude the earth, and the day of completed races, crews, organisers and partners can mix with the hundreds of trippers to impregnate themselves the moving spectacle of the immaculate shells moored in the Old Port of Cannes, their subtly put riggings in value by tens of projectors, before the daily party in the town does not.
