The Museum of Yachting will host the 31st Annual Classic Yacht Regatta, sponsored by Panerai and presented by Land Rover, on September 3-5. This perennial event will once again turn the waters off Newport into a panorama of majestic classic yachts, but for the first time this regatta will be part of a three-event regional series. Launched this summer, the North American Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge was formed under the leadership and sponsorship of Panerai and includes the Corinthian Classic Yacht Regatta (August 7-8, Marblehead, Mass.), the Opera House Cup (August 15, Nantucket, Mass.), and the Classic Yacht Regatta, which will be the final event of the series. The Classic Yacht Regatta includes racing on Saturday, September 4, and Sunday, September 5, run by Organizing Authority Sail Newport. The event’s traditional Classic Yacht Parade will take place on Sunday morning and once again give viewers a bird’s-eye view of this fleet of modern classics, vintage yachts and traditional one-designs.
