From Boat International:

Demand is still strong for a place in the fleet of the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta and the diversity exemplified by the substantial entry list of yachts is testament to the first class racing conditions of the Costa Smeralda and the popularity of this annual event.

The Wally Perfomance Sailing Yacht Y3K

Perini Navi’s Philippe Briand designed, 38m sailing yacht P2 will be racing for the first time ever in Mediterranean waters.  She will be joining  the large, international fleet of yachts to compete for the Loro Piana Prize Overall, the Silver Jubilee Cup by Boat International Media. Her competitors will include CNB’s 35.7m Hamilton II, also designed by Philippe Briand; the latest Salperton from Dubois, a 45m sloop built at Fitzroy; and two German Frers designed yachts, the 34.2m Royal Huisman built Unfurled and Wally‘s 30.5m Y3K.
