2010 Régates Royales will be the stage for a very yearned for comeback: the
magnificently restored and truly unconventional Eilean.
Built in 1936, Eilean crossed the Atlantic more than 36 times. From fame to
neglect – since her owner could not pay for a refit - the yacht experienced
many ups and downs in the Caribbean. Officine Panerai discovered this
beautiful Fife design in 2006 and decided to bring it back to Italy for a
complete restoration. After thirty months and 40.000 work hours, Eilean was
back to her top form for her launch on October 22nd 2009. The ketch will
take part in the Régates Royales - Trophée Panerai, a unique chance for
media and classic yachts fans to see this jewel of a yacht sailing again.

On the occasion of the international biodiversity year, the WWF association
(World Wildlife Fund) will be in Cannes to inform the public and the sailors
about serious environmental issues. The ambassador boat WWF Columbus will be
moored in the harbour as she was last year and activities led by WWF will be
presented on the association’s stand in the village. The public will be
welcome to assist to three conferences:
* Tuesday, 21 September at 17.00, a meeting with Serge Orru, Director
of WWF France
* Wednesday, 22 September at 17.00 with Charles Barine, on fishing and
environment
* Thursday, 23 September at 17.00 (speaker to be confirmed)
For the fourth consecutive year the organisers, in association with Cannes
Yacht Club and the City of Cannes have set up an amateur photo contest which
will run from September 20th to 25th, this year theme being “Régates Royales
Beauties”. Sportsmanship, fair-play, friendship and tradition will be
evaluated by the jury.
The Régates Royales – Trophée Panerai gathers some of the most beautiful
yachts in the world.
From September 20th to 25th, the majestic sailboats will race in the bay of
Cannes and around the Lerins islands.
