The Spirit
of Sailing

The Spirit of Sailing Cup is a celebration of passion, teamwork, and the thrill of the sea

From the elegance of the Dufour Cup to the energy of the Youth Cup and the inspiration
of the Women’s Cup, each race brings its own unique story

Together, they embody the spirit of sailing—where competition meets camaraderie and every moment honors the joy of being on the water.

A celebration of Dufour’s legacy in performance cruising, the Dufour Cup unites owners and enthusiasts for a spirited competition at sea.

Showcasing the elegance, innovation, and speed of Dufour yachts, this race is as much about camaraderie as it is about crossing the finish line first.

At the heart of the Spirit of Sailing Regatta is our unwavering commitment to nurturing the sailors of tomorrow.

Through the Youth Cup – Sailors of Tomorrow Initiative, we give young people the chance to experience the thrill, challenge, and camaraderie of competitive sailing—supported by mentorship and development programs that build skills, confidence, and a lifelong connection to the sea.

We are equally proud to launch the Women’s Cup at the Spirit of Sailing, inspired by the America’s Cup and its historic first Women’s Cup in 2024, Barcelona. This new chapter celebrates women at the helm and across the yachting industry—honoring their leadership, contributions, and achievements both on and off the water.

It’s a platform that showcases skill, passion, and determination while inspiring the next generation to lead, innovate, and compete at the highest level.
