SPETSES CLASSIC YACHT REGATTA 2022 – WITH A NEW NAME SPONSOR FOR LIZZA WE AIMED FOR THE THREE-PEAT, BUT IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE

On a rather strange decision that left many of the competitors puzzled and unhappy, the organizing committee changed the criteria used in previous editions for splitting the participating yachts into classes. As a result, LIZZA FIRST found itself to compete in Class A, ie against the largest yachts of the fleet. Practically that meant longer courses – which makes it physically very demanding – and increased difficulties to defend positions gained.

The weather throughout the weekend was good, but gusty. We were confident that we could be very competitive on upwind and downwind legs but reaching legs would be a problem. They always are, but it becomes a much bigger of a problem when competing against boats with much bigger LOA.

Race No1 was 22nm with a scoring gate between Spetses and Spetsopoula. On the scoring gate LIZZA FISRT was 3 rd , only by 9” behind Flamingo . By the end of the race we climbed to a comfortable 2 nd .

Race No3 we managed a decent 2 nd by a 1’17”.

Race No4 was a 13,8nm race with plenty of reaching – in rather strong winds – and a scoring gate only 3,4nm before the finish. A very unfavorable for us and overall biased race set up, we must admit. We only managed a 4 th and a 5 th . A very disappointing result for the day.

If winning was easy, everyone would be a winner! After all, being on the podium – even on 3 rd – is not a small feast. We did not achieve what we came here for – the three-peat – but we will lick our wounds and come back next year stronger.

Classic Yachts Challenge Series

The organizing authority (OA) for the Classic Yachts Challenge Series (CYCS) is the Classic Yacht Owners Association (CYOA) in cooperation with the Organizing Authorities of the participating Series Events.

The Series takes place across three Racing Districts: “Maine”, ”Massachusetts”, and ”RI, CT, NY”.

To qualify for a Series' award, a boat must be scored in a minimum of 5 races, and 1 of these races must be scored outside the vessel’s declared Racing District. Note that some Series Events have more than 1 race; it is races scored that count.

2023 Results

as of Sept 27, 2023

How to read the Series Results:

• Per the CYCS Notice of Series , to qualify for a boat must be a CYOA Member and compete in 5 individual races across 3 events in at least 2 districts. For district awards, a boat must sail in 3 races across 2 events.
• A boat's High Point Percentage overall score is determined by summing the top 5 points earned in the boat's top 5 races and dividing that by the total number of boats sailed against in those races - then multiplying by 100. Therefore, 5 first places earned over the season would equate to 100%. A tie breaker is determined by whomever sailed against the most boats. For districts, it is top 3 scores. Qualified boats are then ranked by the CRF Division ( the division listed on their CRF Certificate).
• In the case where an Organizing Authority (OA) of an event choose to sail boats from different CRF Divisions against each other or not for race management purposes, where applicable the Corrected Time or Corrected Speed was instead used to rank boats against other boats in their CRF Certificate Division. Therefore, the starting class place earned at an event may differ than the division place for the series. Please note for the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta, the ERR Handicap was removed for a boat's CYCS score.
• The goal of the Series is to encourage friendly competition and find the best way to fairly compare results transparently. A great amount of time was taken to analyze these results and any questions can be directed to Kate Somers: kate @risingt.com

Start : Spetses, Greece

Finish : Spetses, Greece

With its glorious naval tradition, Spetses Island could not be missed in the worldwide locations of the regatta for Classic Sailing Yachts. 

During the Spetses Classic Regatta, Aegean Schooners and small lateens will be racing alongside classic yachts, although in a class of their own. This unique combination of three ways to enjoy the classic yachting, with their common heritage and common classical aesthetics, combined with a world-class organization, creates every year a memorable event.

At the shore, a number of events take place every evening, in the many charming locations of the island: the Poseidonion Hotel, the Kaiki Beach, the Orloff Restaurant, Paliolimani - the old harbor, they all become part of the stage of this unique event, which combines the warmest colors of Greece with the elegance of the classic yachts. Definitely, the Spetses Classic Regatta is more and more becoming the event you do not want to miss in Greece if you like classic yachts.

This is my first time, is this ok?

Beginners without experience can participate in the regatta, since on the yacht there is always a professional skipper with extensive experience who will teach you everything you need for your role on the boat. In addition, as a rule, there are experienced yachtsmen in the crew who will help you get settled and feel comfortable.

As a rule, the cost of participation in the regatta includes:.

— accommodation on a yacht for the duration of the regatta;

— bed linen and towels;

— organizational fee;

— skipper services;

— the cost of mooring in marinas;

Spetses, Greece

Can I participate in a regatta if I don’t have yachting experience?

Yes, of course. There will be an experienced skipper and team members on the yacht. They will give you a role and teach you everything you need to know to be a useful team member and feel comfortable.

Will I be able to steer a yacht?

Yes, all team members will definitely try themselves in different roles to better understand each other. Standing at the helm is an integral part of training for beginners as well as setting sails, and helping the team during moorings.

Where will I live during the regatta?

As a rule, participants in the regatta live on the yacht. The boat has everything you need for a comfortable stay: nice beds, a kitchen, a shower with toilet. If you do not want to live on a yacht, then you can arrange to stay at the hotel onshore.

What will we eat?

The crew decides altogether what kind of food they prefer to eat and makes necessary purchases. Simple dishes can be cooked, usually taking turns. Some regattas offer daily meals and intensive evening program for all crews.

Do you help with a visa?

We can make an invitation for a visa, but you need to apply for a visa by yourself.

Will I have seasick? What should I do if I have sickness?

Most people tolerate some seasickness easily. If you feel that you are starting to feel sick, it is best to get at the steering wheel or tune the sails. Get yourself busy, show your body that you don’t have time to get sick, you have to fight for victory in the race. There are also many quite effective medicines from sickness. If you start taking them in advance, then the probability of seasickness is almost zero.

How and where will I meet the crew and the captain?

Before each trip, we organize an online meeting where participants get to know each other and the captain. The captain will answer all your questions. The crew will have a group chat so you can get to know each other before the start of the regatta. Then you will meet in the marina.

What clothes do I need?

The main rule is to dress comfortably and according to the weather. Clothing: • windbreaker and pants or shorts; • shirt/jacket with UV protection (thermal underwear and fleece); • adjustable hat/cap; • gloves. We recommend to purchase a long-sleeved jacket with UV protection in order to protect yourself from the sun and strong wind. Yachting shoes should be: • light, with non-slip white outsole; • with the fixed heel; • with a tightly closed nose. During the sailing without shoes, you can fall or injure your fingers and feet on the deck. There are many protruding parts on the boat that are easy to catch. Unfortunately, even experienced sailors are not protected from unpleasant injuries when they ignore this simple rule.
