From Friday 29 November, 14:00 to Sunday 1 December 2024 - Yacht Club de Monaco
Navicap Challenge - Elena Sivoldaeva Trophy
30-plus international teams
Teams from England, France and Monaco will be out on the water for this second edition. Ahead of them lies three days of racing on Hansa 303 boats, specially designed to be accessible to everyone. YCM has been able to purchase two thanks to the generosity of donor member Elena Sivoldaeva. Crews of two, able-bodied or disabled sailors, can sail together on them.
Keeping up the pace
Contestants will be competing on a triangular windward-leeward course depending on the race format in two stages, qualifiers followed by the finals. A qualifying phase, the Round Robin, is validated once all groups have competed once. At the end of this stage, teams with the fewest points will go through into the Gold category. In the event of a tie, the ranking of the last race will be the decider between teams. The other teams will be divided into the Silver, Bronze and Vermeil categories following the same rule.
Sharing and accessibility
The main objective is to share the joys of sailing in a spirit of helping each other and solidarity. Accessibility through learning is also key with specially trained professionals on hand to supervise sailors with disabilities, so everyone gets to discover sailing in optimal conditions in an inclusive and caring environment.
It all kicks off with the first race on Friday 29th November at 2.00pm. A wonderful opportunity to share a sport together while respecting diversity.
