Sixty-five crews representing eight nations crowded the waters off Monaco, transforming the Hansa 303 course into one of the most tightly contested arenas of the season.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of this record fleet, two young sailors from the<strong> Yacht Club de Monaco<\/strong>, Victor Holst and Paul Pillon, delivered a standout performance to claim overall victory. Their mastery across the four races \u2013 crowned by two wins \u2013 kept them consistently ahead of the pack. Their success was echoed by the second Monaco duo, Arthur Piekarec and C\u00e9drick Calabuig, whose steady sailing earned them the runner-up spot after a close fight with the French all-female pair Martine \/ Ann Marteau, who completed the podium in 3rd.<\/p>\n<p>The event\u2019s particular charm lies in its format, which places teamwork at the centre. The diversity of the field \u2013 athletes with disabilities, able-bodied sailors, and mixed crews \u2013 forces competitors to rely on communication and coordination as much as on technical skills. \u201cOver these last three days, we saw double-hander crews capable of adapting, listening to each other and building a rhythm race after race. This is exactly what we want to encourage: demanding sailing, where technique counts as much as teamwork\u201d, noted <strong>YCM Managing Director and General Secretary Bernard d\u2019Alessandri<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge began at full throttle. The Hansa 303 fleet quickly established the pace during the Round Robin qualifiers, where every group meets on the water. Among the standouts was <strong>Hansa 303 World Champion Gauthier Bril<\/strong>, paired with Camille Massonnaud. \u201cIt\u2019s the ideal regatta to prepare for future events including the inclusive sailing World Championship in Oman. Sailing helps you discover yourself and overcome your apprehensions\u201d, Massonnaud remarked. Their presence, along with an increasingly competitive field, confirms the Navicap Challenge\u2019s role as a key date on the international inclusive sailing calendar.<\/p>\n<p>The Hansa 303 itself embodies the philosophy of the event. Designed for double-handed sailing and accessible to everyone, from experienced athletes to newcomers and mixed-ability crews, it demands precise manoeuvres and impeccable communication. The YCM owns two of these boats thanks to Club member Elena Sivoldaeva, whose support reinforces the club\u2019s long-standing commitment to accessible sailing. This year, a strong contingent of young sailors from the <strong>YCM Sports Section<\/strong> \u2014 including Nicolas Rostagni, Gabriel Lanteri Gaglio, Arthur Piekarec, Armand Chevalier and Paul Papillon \u2014 further highlighted the Club\u2019s focus on training and transmission.<\/p>\n<p>The prize-giving ceremony honoured sailors, volunteers and organisers who have helped the Navicap Challenge\u2013Troph\u00e9e Elena Sivoldaeva become a unifying event for Monaco\u2019s sailing community.<\/p>\n<p>The countdown now begins to Act II of the Monaco Sportsboat Winter Series, ahead of the J\/70 fleet\u2019s return from 4\u20137 December 2025 and the season-defining Primo Cup\u2013Troph\u00e9e UBS set for 5\u20138 March 2026. After Act I, YCM member Giangiacomo Serena di Lapigio (G-Spot) currently leads the provisional standings, hinting at a fiercely contested season in which every race will matter.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information:<\/em><br \/>\n<strong><em>Press Office LaPresse<\/em><\/strong><em> \u2013\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=njPl7unFiALZwkW6QZoRRAGPfvHBYOpJnjiOu2hkF4iNz0o3prdt0zpJ74xhw-pMb-wm1XsMHmBDfuU60JIdSY9K8Qbo1fpvrlE6_NNuf9M51LA3LoSjM1QMzvt_zW8G\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>ufficio.stampa@lapresse.it<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A photo accompanying this announcement is available at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=hQlAI9rEKiUy7Rt6g_vyQkUk7eCKPqQVpe6hQD0t1FmovsPyEq3g8g6apaj6G11G_M2bLlocAd8035bPE5IwGnC1HNfFb2ycQKZ71pU94xQiH15fqKrt2QQ3QigcBy0HBoL5ifI3pYuUa7aNVvG32SE0_NoSaNexSr8lnfpLDLDmD8GINThCDynJdew49oH96sRgOVlChEfWcDr2HukUYXDhwV3TEqXeyr63YIJ8_WJn0qB-WS_mZCOiil0gUf1QJz-mFWLMEXTNhNxn_UYRIg==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/NewsRoom\/AttachmentNg\/12a44f18-332d-41d0-9bea-4b38c78b15c2<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><img \/>AGENCIA EFE S.A.U.,S.M.E. shall not be liable for any information contained in this message and assumes no responsibility towards third parties in relation to its contents, being expressly exempt from any liability that the author may have in relation to the information in question.
