Adalberto Miani Trophy

smeralda 888 championship

A key series in the one-design landscape

Designed by German Frers, the Smeralda 888 is a fast, lively 8.88-metre boat with 5 crew that is a pleasure to sail, combining elegant lines with high performance on the water. She behaves in a balanced way in breezy conditions and is fast in light airs. Under the impetus of Adalberto Miani and Charles de Bourbon des Deux Siciles, President of the class, this one-design series has been structured around a genuine Mediterranean circuit, with the distinctive feature of offering international events in such prestigious locations as Saint-Tropez, Porto Cervo, Calvi, Alassio, Cannes and Monaco. The Smeralda 888 International Championship, created in 2007, concludes each year with a final event in the Principality.

Homage to Adalberto Miani

An accomplished sportsman, passionate sailor and leader of men, Adalberto Miani left his mark on sailing in the Mediterranean. An emblematic figure who did so much for the sport in writing a page in the history of YCM, he was one of those men who naturally made an impression. Fiercely competitive from a young age, he distinguished himself first in fencing when he represented Italy on an international level in the sabre discipline. He very quickly changed tack, swapping the strip (piste) for a boat deck, and became a wellknown and respected name at major Mediterranean regattas at the helm of Trivia, a 12m he owned for several years, and then aboard his Smeralda 888, Botta Dritta.In his memory and as a tribute to his commitment, Yacht Club de Monaco has decided to rename the final stage of the Smeralda 888 International Championship the ‘Adalberto Miani Trophy’.
