There’s always a bit of shoulder shrugging when it comes to the sailing superyacht market; like everyone’s at a loss to diagnose its issues. You’d think, in these days of environmental scrutiny, the market would be on fire, but in truth it’s a shadow of its former self, despite there being some outstanding yards out there. The days when sailing yachts accounted for 15 per cent of global superyacht production are long gone, it seems. But are they? Instead of adding to the malaise, we’ve decided to give the industry a boost by launching an event and inviting sailing’s leading figures to Monaco for a day of discussion. It’s called BOAT Live: Life Under Sail, named after our biannual supplement. If you want to learn more, head to boatint.com/lifeundersail. Sailing will be back in the headlines in 2021, when Auckland hosts the 36th America’s Cup. On that we have some more news: we’ll be partnering with the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron on the Auckland Superyacht Regatta, the official superyacht regatta of the America’s Cup.
