Les yachts inscrits au mois de mars


La question revient chaque année: qui va courir à Ajaccio. Cette année, 41 yachts sont déjà inscrits. 2010 sera donc « Annus Mirabilis » pour les Régates. Parmi les inscrits, Mariska, qui va participer aux Régates Impériales pour la première fois,Samarkand, Moonbeam of Fife et Moonbeam IV qui continuent leur match et tous les bateaux d'exception qui reviennent fidèlement nous enchanter. Innovation : 7 Tofinou vont également courir pour la première fois dans la baie d'Ajaccio. Alors bonne Ambata à tous.


The yachts already registered in March

The every year question is: who's coming this year in Ajaccio ? This year, 41 yachts are already registered. So, 2010 will be an « Annus Mirabilis » for the Régates Impériales race. Among them, let's mention the beautiful Mariska who will race for the first time in Ajaccio,with the german yacht Samarkand. Moonbeam of Fife vs Moonbeam IV, a promizing challenge. Another innovation : seven Tofinou will race along for the first time. Let's hope for all a wide range of winds to allow the boats to show off their qualities and skippers and crews their abilities.
