2019 Loro Piana Super Yacht Regatta @Porto Cervo to allow +50ft Multis
Photos by Studio Borlenghi / Loro Piana Regatta 2018 edition. – The renown Loro Piana Regatta at Porto Cervo has amended its NOR to allow Multihulls above 50′. Slowly traditional scene is opening their doors to Multis. We love big monos and specially wooden classics, but you cannot compare the performance and intrinsic design of Multis vs these beautiful yachts.
A good chance for the recently launched Gunboat 68 and the HH performance line?
