17-23 May

Twenty-five Maxi yachts and 400+ sailors among the best in the world enjoyed four days of inshore races and an offshore race at the IMA Maxi European Championship, organised by Circolo del Remo e della Vela Italia in collaboration with the International Maxi Association. This year the Gulf of Naples produced a variety of conditions for participants who’d come from all over the world. Yacht Club de Monaco’s Peter Harrison pulled off a superb 5th place on Jolt, while Benoît de Froidmont, also from YCM, with Wallyno came 8th after six races. The IMA Maxi European Championship will return to Naples-Sorrento next year 16-22 May 2025.
