Yacht Club Isole di Toscana: a new exhilarating sailing season

The Yacht Club Isole di Toscana is gearing up for a new exhilarating sailing season. From April to October there will be several events, where different classes amongst some of the most prestigious one Design classes in the world, will compete in the Maremma Toscana waters.

Sustainability has been the key focus of event organization strategy amongst all companies operating within Marina di Scarlino for many years. We will continue to adapt our day to day operation to minimize the environmental impact across all Yacht Club activity.

"Our sailing program for 2023 is full of exciting events that combine races with lively social events, with the aim of bringing together people who share the same passions, creating lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories," announces the newly elected President Andrea Longinotti Buitoni.
"I am very proud of our dedicated team, that has placed the Yacht Club Isole di Toscana on the international sailing scene. Together we will work even harder, not only to meet, but to exceed the expectations of our members and guests from around the world. We can't wait for you to join us in this beautiful part of the Tuscan coast and soon welcome you to a renovated Marina di Scarlino."

The Yacht Club's sailing season will begin with a Scarlino Warm Up weekend on 14-16 April, dedicated to the highlighted class among the Swan One Design: the ClubSwan 50.
About ten teams will test their technical abilities in the gulf, in front of the Marina di Scarlino, in preparation for The Nations League circuit 2023, which will return to the Marina at the end of the season.
From 29th of May to 3rd of June, for the fourth time, we will have the honor of hosting the TP52s with the 52 Super Series Scarlino Sailing Week

During the Summer, Yacht Club Isole di Toscana will focus on organising beginner courses for aspiring local young sailors as well as for visitors, with the aim of promoting the destination through sport.

The 2023 sailing season in Gulf of Follonica, where the club is based, will culminate with a double World Championships in September/October.
First, the world championship for Star Class will take place between 17-24th September, with the grand finale of the season, a Swan One Design World series taking place 2 weeks later.
With over thirty yachts across the four Swan One Design classes competing: ClubSwan 50, Swan 45, ClubSwan 42 and ClubSwan 36, it promises to be an event to remember.
First edition of the Swan Med Regatta - Tuscany Challenge will run alongside the world series, with a daily spectacle of various Swan models racing around the islands of Tuscan Archipelago.

The Yacht Club Isole di Toscana benefits from the support of the Municipality of Scarlino, and in partnership with Marina di Scarlino, Scarlino Yacht Service and Resort Baia Scarlino.
"The opening of the YCIT sailing season" – announces the Mayor of Scarlino, Francesca Travison – "is certainly a strategic event for our local administration, especially that Northern Maremma area, of which we are a part, has been named the European Community of Sport for 2023.
The high standard of the sport events organised by the Club, will help promote our Municipality around the world and we are looking forward to a continued relationship and team work with the Yacht Club."

The club is glad to confirm the partnership for the season of Rigoni di Asiago, a company that shares same passion for nature, protection of the marine environment and devotion to creating a sustainable future for tomorrow's generations.
