ClubSwan Racing did a brilliant job delivering a super-successful 2021 racing season after all of the global challenges... 2022 is promising to be just as good
Get ready for more of the same. Following a successful 2021 racing season with a series of memorable regattas in world class venues, ClubSwan Racing has unveiled its 2022 calendar, offering another season of fierce and friendly competition.
Racing has been in Swan’s DNA since the beginning and Nautor’s Swan regattas are eagerly awaited by owners and crews. The key to success of these ClubSwan Racing events – for both rating and one design fleets – is the dedication of a vastly qualified team led by highly experienced Federico Michetti, head of sports activities at ClubSwan Racing. The 2022 one design calendar will see large gatherings of Swans at some of the best places to sail in the Mediterranean, selected by the ClubSwan Racing team to offer great competition out on the racecourse, alongside fun, entertainment and top-level facilities ashore for Swan owners and Nautor’s Swan partners. The four one design classes – namely the ClubSwan 50, Swan 45, ClubSwan 42 and ClubSwan 36 – will kick off their season with a competitive start at the Tuscany Challenge from April 26 -30. Organised with the Yacht Club Isole di Toscana, the beautiful setting of

Marina di Scarlino in the Gulf of Follonica is known as a sailors’ paradise for the amazing conditions it offers in terms of racing and weather. The teams will have the chance to meet and train in the same venue at a warm-up event from March 25 -27.
The fleet will then head to the Sardinia Challenge and the crystal- clear waters of Villasimius, on the breezy south-east tip of the island, from May 31- June 04. Based in the world-class Marina Di Villasimius the fleet will be racing in spectacular conditions against the backdrop of Capo Carbonara and in the waters of the Marine Protected Area, in effect an Italian national park and marine nature reserve.
Spain will host the third edition of the Swan One Design Worlds, from July 5 - 9 in Valencia, a well-known venue and yacht club (the Real Club Nautico de Valencia) but a new location for the Swan One Design Circuit. The fleet then heads to the Copa del Rey in Palma de Mallorca from August 1 - 6, a must-do for the Swan racing circuit.
‘The Swan One Design Circuit this year comes to some of the most appealing racing courses in the world. We chose Scarlino as our home and we added the two new

locations of Villasimius in splendid Sardinia and Valencia for the World Championship. Each of these venues offers all the ingredients that make an event successful sport wise and fun wise. Valencia will be the stage to crown the world champions of each one design class and we are very excited about it,’ says Michetti. ‘We will then head to Palma de Mallorca for the Copa del Rey, another milestone in our calendar. Nautor and the RCNP have a long- term partnership and this, together with having a great number of Swans competing and the professionalism of the team at the Real Club Náutico de Palma are just a few of the things that make us feel at home. The vibe will be great this year too and we are all excited and looking forward to start.’ Meanwhile, 2022 is also the year of one of the most important events of the Nautor’s Swan brand, the biennial Rolex Swan Cup, organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda and Nautor’s Swan together with its longstanding partner Rolex, from September 11 - 18 in the amazing setting of Porto Cervo, Sardinia. Hosted on even years in one of the best venues in the world, the 21st edition of this unmissable regatta has all the elements to be spectacular: an international fleet,
