P2 to make her Mediterranean debut at the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta
May 11, 2010
Demand is still strong for a place in the fleet of the Loro Piana
Superyacht Regatta and the diversity exemplified by the substantial
entry list of yachts is testament to the first class racing conditions
of the Costa Smeralda and the popularity of this annual event.
Perini Navi's Philippe Briand designed, 38m P2 will be racing
for the first time ever in Mediterranean waters. She will be joining the
large, international fleet of yachts to compete for the Loro Piana
Prize Overall, the Silver Jubilee Cup by Boat International Media. Her
competitors will include CNB's 35.7m Hamilton II, also designed
by Philippe Briand; the latest Salperton from Dubois, a 45m
sloop built at Fitzroy; and two German Frers designed yachts, the 34.2m
Royal Huisman built Unfurled and Wally's 30.5m Y3K.

Camper & Nicholson International are Silver Sponsor of the 2010
Regatta and two of our most notable entries are represented by them:
last year's winner the 32m Royal Huisman built Gliss and Southern Ocean
Marine's 32m Liara. "Camper & Nicholsons are delighted to be part of
what has become one of the most prestigious events of the year in the
yachting calendar. The Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta continues to go

There will be an evening of 'sundowner cocktails' in Piazza Azzurra
after the first day of racing; Italian company I-Spirit Vodka are
developing a special cocktail for the occasion.
All guests of the regatta can benefit from special accommodation rates
at nearby Jaspe - Grand Hotel Poltu Quatu a wonderful new resort only 3

between the Hotel and Marina Porto Cervo for Regatta guests. Superyacht
owners wishing to stay at the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda during the
