Building Block has been the main driving force behind the organization of the event and Trapani with it unique characteristics both at sea and on land is the chosen place for the first edition. Frers has designed 1,350 successful yachts since 1928, from classics to the cutting edge yachts of the future, designs which vary in age, size and concept and which are sailing the oceans around the globe. For this first edition a selection of special designs were invited and the owners were very enthusiastic about the idea. Some owners will race in this first edition; many are planning to be part of future ones, as are some whose yachts are currently being built. This regatta is a celebration of Frers’ history and future. With the support of all involved in the organization, the town, the owners and their crews this event is shaping up to become something special. Looking forward to see you all in Trapani, German Mani Frers .
