Porto Cervo (ITA), 11 – 18 September 2022

Two months to the iconic Rolex Swan Cup and more seventy yachts have already enrolled to compete in a week full of excitement and fun.

Among them, Swan 48 Mia owned by Mr. Luigi Stoppani.

“The flame of my passion for sailing took to the wind during the last RSC celebrated, in 2018, until then I was a charterer by chance. The spectacle that I was able to enjoy, between the beautiful days at the end of the season, the boundless beauty of the sea, the Maddalena archipelago and the parade of a competition representing ingenuity, ability, passion, and sportsmanship were my personal “great beauty”. I immediately set about transforming that mirage, first into a dream and then into reality.

I arrived, therefore, for the start of the 2020 edition in the front line, with my new boat, named MIA (MINE) all luster, ready to give my best and eager to close the loop but nothing happened out of shared prudence.

I didn’t give up, I wanted to try MIA and myself anyway, I headed straight for Malta for the Rolex Middle Sea Race (my first regatta ever).

From then on, I persisted in my journey, passing through various regattas and splendid cruises, always with the intention of broadening my horizons.

From this edition I expect a great collective enthusiasm and the personal hope that at least those days will give us a moment of abstraction and detachment from the thoughts that recent times offer us.
