Light winds, deep waters, and twenty-five crews writing the next chapter of CNB
The CNB Rendez-Vous 2026 has drawn to a close at Porto Rotondo, Sardinia, leaving behind two days of racing that confirmed why this gathering of CNB Yacht Builders owners occupies a singular place in the Mediterranean sailing calendar. Twenty-five crews took to the water aboard vessels ranging from 60 to 86 feet, competing under soft, shifting breezes that called for patience, precision, and a refined reading of the sea.
The Overall title went to Expression of London, the Bordeaux 60 SD campaigned by Rob Conn, whose consistent performance across both race days earned him the top step of the podium and the Group A victory. In Group B, honours went to SWAY, the CNB 66 skippered by Christian Scherer, whose crew proved both composed and relentless throughout the regatta.
