Young Monégasques Stand Out
Aimed at young sailors aged 7 to 14, the Coupe Internationale d’Été is an event that commands the attention of the Optimist class.

End of a tough tour
The 45th Tour Voile just finished for the 14 crews competing in a tight-fought three weeks that saw 22 inshore and offshore races organised in six stage towns on the menu for 2024. Among participants was Nicolas Bouchet from Yacht Club de Monaco sailing on APCC Voile Sportive which finished 10th. This latest edition which started on 28th June in Dunkirk has proved a festival of top-flight confrontations that had spectators on the edge down to the last race.
Celebration of youth
The opening ceremony marked the start of the 53rd Youth Sailing World Championships which ran from 15-19 July on Lake Garda. No fewer than 418 sailors from 70 countries were there including Noah Garcia and Louise Debeaumont from Yacht Club de Monaco competing in the ILCA 6 category.
Consistency on every start
Consistency was key to staying as close as possible to the leading pack of this international meeting. Jérémy Moutout and Bodhi Van Der Linden, both from Yacht Club de Monaco, were perfect examples. After six races contested in the Baltic Sea they finished 14th and 15th in ILCA 7 respectively, both managing a race in the top ten.
