33rd PRIMO CUP – TROPHEE CREDIT SUISSE
2-5 February 2017

For the first time since its launch in 1985, the Primo Cup – Trophée Credit Suisse will be held over one single weekend. With technical clothing supplied by SLAM as part of the prizes, this first major regatta of 2017 in the Mediterranean welcomes new classes such as the M32, an all-carbon 9.68m one-design catamaran. Designed for closer contact with the public, the race format is very intense, easier to follow and… spectacular!

For the eighth year in a row, 64 young competitors descended on the Principality to compete in the Monaco Optimist Team Race, an original format organised by the YCM with the support of FxPro, Eventica, Fon and clothing supplier Slam.
It was a full house for the Nordics with newcomers, the Bodensee Yacht Club Ueberlingen in Germany, dethroning Swiss title holders, Société Nautique de Genève.

For the three one-design classes competing in the first Monaco Sportsboat Winter Series regatta of 2017, the Monegasques were up there with the best.

In the ultra-dynamic all-carbon M32 catamarans, the YCM’s Guido Miani (Team Neverland) won the event for the second time.
In J70s, YCM teams clinched the top two spots: Stefano Roberti, European Vice-Champion with two race wins proved how at ease he is in this class, but it was Ludovico Fassitelli’s (Junda) consistency in the front that pipped his rival to the post.
In the Melges 20, Youry Morozov’s Pirogovo Sailing totally dominated ahead of compatriot Vladimir Prozikhin (Nika).
