6 stunning photos from the Superyacht Cup 2015

The Superyacht Cup 2015 runs June 17-20 in Palma, Spain attracting more than 20 sailing yachts over 24 metres LOA. Here are the stunning photos from the first day of racing.

The green-hulled Vitters yacht Inoui cuts across the competition on the first day of racing in the Superyacht Cup. She came in first on corrected time in day one's race and is leading Class B so far.

One of the beautiful sights to behold at the Superyacht Cup is sailing against the backdrop of the massive Cathedral of Santa Maria, as Visione does in this photo.

There is something soul stirring about a classic yacht cutting through the water in a regatta, and even a classic replica like Spirit Yachts' Gaia, launched in 2007, can capture this emotion.

Another beautiful sight on any superyacht racecourse is the graceful drop of a spinnaker, as seen in this stunning photo from the Superyacht Cup 2015.

WinWin was named sailing yacht of the year at the World Superyacht Awards 2015. WinWin is trying to do just that at this year's Superyacht Cup. After day one, she was ranked third in her class, but there's still much racing to be done. Surely she should get extra points for how well her crew uniforms match her paint job and sails.
