Swan Sardinia Challenge
May 16 – 20, 2023
Villasimius (ITA)
The Swan Sardinia Challenge delivered spectacular conditions and close racing for the owners and crews competing in the second instalment of the season-long The Nations League 2023.
Teams in the ClubSwan 50, ClubSwan 42 and ClubSwan 36 one-design classes gathered in Villasimius on Sardinia’s dramatic southeast coast.
Strong winds ruled out safe fleet racing on the opening day of the regatta — though many took advantage of the conditions to go kite-surfing and wing-foiling — with light breezes the following day limiting the fleet to a single if challenging race on the pristine waters of the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area.
The winners of the second event of the season are:
ClubSwan 36 Black Seal
ClubSwan 42 Nadir
ClubSwan 50 Stella Maris
Tre Golfi Sailing Week
Napoli/Sorrento
12-21 May
With three events in one (Regata dei 3 Golfi, Maxi European Championship and ORC Med Championship) the event sees 111 yachts taking part overall.
The stunning ClubSwan 80 – My Song, took part in the Maxi European Championship and
achieved another important result placing seventh overall, against very fierce competitors, and first overall in real time.
A great achievement also for another Swan yacht: Swan 45 From Now On has been awarded ‘best-placed Swan’ at the ORC EUROPEANS.
Trofeo Conde de Godo
24-28 May

Swan 45 Rats on Fire

ClubSwan 50 Olymp
Another important achievement also in ORC A2: Swan 45 placed 3rd overall.
151 Miglia – Trofeo Cetilar

Livorno (ITA)
The unique setting took the fleet of the 14th edition of 151 Miglia from the Tyrrhenian coast to the small island of Giraglia, then heads towards the Island of Elba and the Formiche di Grosseto, finishing in Punta Ala.
ClubSwan 42 Fantaghirò gained the second place in ORC Class.
