About YCCS: The Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS) was founded in Porto Cervo, Sardinia in 1967 by current president H.H. the Aga Khan and a group of founder-members as a non-profit sporting association for fellow sailing enthusiasts. The YCCS is renowned for organizing international sailing events such as the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup and the Rolex Swan Cup as well as World and European Championships for top one-design fleets and superyacht regattas. The Club was also behind Azzurra – the first Italian challenger for the America’s Cup in 1983 – which became a legendary Italian brand and was relaunched by the YCCS in 2009 with a victorious participation in the Louis Vuitton Trophy in Nice, followed by victories with the TP52 Azzurra in the 52 Super Series. In 1992, YCCS launched the motor yacht Destriero which set a transatlantic crossing record that still stands to this day. The YCCS also took part in the Volvo Ocean Race 2001-2002 with a two-boat Nautor Challenge campaign, one of which had an all-female crew. 2017 marked the 50th anniversary of the Club’s foundation and saw the launch of the sustainability programme One Ocean. In 2020, the YCCS also launched the Young Azzurra Sporting programme dedicated to young Italian sailors, with a focus on equal opportunities.
