PANERAI CLASSIC YACHT CHALLENGE: For the nineth consecutive year, Officine Panerai is sponsoring the largest international circuit of regattas reserved for classic yachts. The Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge 2013 presents an extraordinary calendar of races celebrating the sea and the most beautiful classic yachts still sailing, attracting the attention of thousands of yachtsmen and women, journalists and enthusiasts. This year more than five hundred boats are expected for the ten races making up the program with over five thousand boat owners involved: the Mediterranean Circuit will take place between June and late September with regattas in Antibes, Porto Santo Stefano, Mahon, Cannes and Imperia, which every two years is included among the stages of the PCYC. On the other side of the Atlantic, the east coast of the United States will be the venue for the North American Circuit, which features stages in Marblehead, Nantucket and Newport. Not included in either of the two circuits for geographical reasons, and yet unmissable, are the Panerai British Classic Week in Cowes on the Isle of Wight and the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta which complete the 2013 PCYC calendar.
