Benjamin Ferrand (M/Y Victoria Del Mar) wins over Jury
The curtain has fallen on the 6th Superyacht Chef Competition. Organised by Yacht Club de Monaco’s La Belle Classe Academy training centre and Bluewater, this year’s high-stakes culinary contest was won by Benjamin Ferrand (M/Y Victoria Del Mar – 50m). Nine chefs working on superyachts ranging from 36m to 97m lined up on the quay to showcase their talents to a jury of experts and a captivated audience. Under strict time and space constraints, and a basket of mystery ingredients to work with, contestants skilfully created one dish after another, juggling metronomic timings, refined textures and pin-precise seasonings.

It included a 6th place for the first race, proof of her potential against an experienced European elite.

After three intense days of racing, the curtain fell on the Virginie Hériot Trophy organised by Yacht Club de Monaco. The all-female regatta attracted 21 teams representing nine nations racing on J/70s, proof of the momentum driving women’s sailing. Held under the aegis of the French and Monegasque Sailing Federations with support of FxPro, the event owes its success to the commitment of Pink Wave, a collective of women sailors at YCM who have been competing successfully on the international scene for six years. This year again attracted international teams including four American teams, including from the prestigious Manhattan Yacht Club.
