From Friday 8th to Sunday 10th December the waters of the City of Flowers will be invaded by Optimist Class boats, with the registration of Swiss, French, Monegasque and, of course, Italian crews.

The great event which has always had young people as its highly anticipated protagonists will also this year see around 100 participants divided into the two categories Cadets (born from 2013 to 2014) and Juniors (born from 2008 to 2012) who will compete for victory in their respective rankings.

A further prize will be represented by the Dino Minaglia Trophy which, named in memory of a great member of the Sanremo Yacht Club who always worked for youth activities, will be awarded to the best Club among the Juniors, based on a ranking drawn up on the final results of the best three crews per partnership.

After completing the registration formalities, the first starting signal is scheduled for Friday 8 December at 11.55am with a program that includes a total of nine races (three per day) with a gap after the completion of the fourth race.
