In February, the Pogo Structures shipyard launched the very first R C, a pure IRC racing sailboat. Designed to compete in the legendary offshore races of the IRC circuit (Rolex Fastnet Race, Transquadra, Transat Cap-Martinique, Middle Sea Race, and Sydney-Hobart), the pogo R C, is specifically designed for long solo or double-handed regattas, but also aims to offer a crew of four to five people a sporty platform for shorter regatta courses.

The 45th Saint Maarten Heineken Regatta, started off with a bang, as fleets were sent offshore and around the island, for day 1 of racing.
Day two of the Regatta, brought contrasting conditions and iconic Saint Maarten scenes along the Dutch coastlines. The morning started out with blue skies, bright sunshine, and a light breeze as teams gathered by the two startlines in Cole Bay and Simpson Bay.

Day three of the 45th Saint Maarten Heineken Regatta had non-stop racing action happening on both Dutch and French sides of the island, with a special beach-stadium race in Grand Case! The forecast was described as light and variable, but once again, sailors were prepared for a day of challenging conditions. The final day of racing was nothing short of legendary to wrap up the regatta. Fleets made their way to their designated start boats out in Cole Bay and Simpson Bay. It was a delayed start waiting for the wind to fill in, so fleets were running the line, sailing through a sea of spectator boats who were waiting for the action to start.

In 1967, the forward-looking vision of His Highness the Aga Khan, led to the founding of the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda. Since then, Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, served as the Club’s President, guiding it to achievements that have shaped the history of Italian sailing and established the YCCS as an international benchmark in the yachting world.
