Mariella takes Panerai prize at Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta

Almost 80 years after her launch at the legendary William Fife & Son yard in Scotland in 1938, the Bermudan yawl Mariella has won the Panerai watch for overall victory in the 30th Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta. She also took home the Panerai prize for her class (Vintage B). The event, from April 19 to 25, was the first of the 11 rounds of this year’s Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge, the international classic and vintage sail racing circuit sponsored by the Florentine luxury sports watch maker. It continues with Les Voiles d’Antibes, the first round on the Mediterranean Circuit, between May 31 and June 4.
