Yacht Club de Monaco Optimist results: double podium for Monaco at Les Sablettes

Optimist – Championnat de Ligue – Les Sablettes

A highlight of this stage of the League Championship held in Les Sablettes was the Optimist results of young athletes from Yacht Club de Monaco who really made a mark. The Club’s young sailors proved once and for all that they have what it takes. In a 30-strong fleet of contestants, with variable winds of 6 to 12 knots and after four races, the hard work put in by YCM saw two of its sailors at the top of the leaderboard.

A regatta that embraces everyone

The count-down has begun to the 3rd Navicap Challenge-Trophée Elena Sivoldaeva that takes place 28-30 November, organised by Yacht Club de Monaco. Enthusiasm for this inclusive event continues to grow with over a hundred participants expected this year. From seasoned sailors to amateurs, able-bodied to those with a disability, all will be competing on equal terms on the same courses. Held each year, ahead of International Day of Persons with Disabilities on 3rd December, the event is part of the collective ‘Monaco, Capital of Advanced Yachting’ approach. “Sailing is all about people. On a boat everyone finds their place and their role in making it work,” says YCM General Secretary Bernard d’Alessandri. The event has already proven its value in allowing mixed crews of two to participate in a regatta where performance is down to teamwork rather than individual differences.
