Yacht Club de Monaco: more than a yacht club

Home Environment Yacht Club de Monaco: more than a yacht club

Established by Prince Rainier III in 1953, the Yacht Club de Monaco is the emblem of Monegasque yachting. Since 2014, it has had its own emblematic building, a striking piece of architecture by Britain’s Norman Foster.

With its sleek lines and architecture reminiscent of an ocean liner, the Yacht Club de Monaco’s headquarters building never fails to provoke a reaction. Officially unveiled in 2014, it was designed by Pritzker Prize winner Norman Foster.

“This building has been designed like a miniature city, integrated into the existing urban landscape of Monaco,” explains the architect, who was also behind the Millennium Bridge (2000), Millau Viaduct (2004), Camp Nou Stadium in Barcelona (2007) and Vieux Port in Marseille (2013).

Chaired since 1984 by Prince Albert II , the Yacht Club de Monaco, with its 2,000 members representing 60 nationalities and prestigious yachts , illustrates Monaco’s historic role in the world of yachting .

The first regattas organised in the Principality date back to 1862, while the first international motorboat races – which arrived with the development of the first combustion engines – were contested in Port Hercule in 1904.

Today, the Yacht Club de Monaco organises a number of regattas, such as Monaco Classic Week, the Primo Cup and, more recently, the Monaco Solar and Energy Boat Challenge One.

“As part of our ‘Monaco, capital of yachting’ project, through this event the Principality helps to bring together manufacturers, engineers, shipyards, students and ship owners to share their experiences and respond to the energy and environmental challenges facing the nautical sector,” says Bernard d’Alessandri, Secretary General of the Yacht Club de Monaco.

The YCM has two influential ambassadors: Le Tuiga, considered by sailor Eric Tabarly to be “one of the most beautiful yachts in the world”, takes part in major classic yacht events, while the Seaexplorer (formerly Malizia II) , the eco-friendly vessel that took Greta Thunberg across the Atlantic in summer 2019 to attend the UN Climate Summit, finished fifth in the Vendée Globe 2020, the first time it has taken part in the race.

Where elegance and yachting combine, the yacht club is one of the most exclusive places in Monaco. The building, whose shape is reminiscent of a ship, houses luxurious lounges, theatres for prestigious ceremonies, private parties and other official presentations. A nautical club founded in 1953, it has nearly 1600 members and brings together owners of classic and modern boats, motor-yachts as well as recreational and regatta sailboats. The club has been chaired by Prince Albert II since 1984.

In 2005, the President of the club launched the “La Belle Classe” label, to unite shipowners around a Charter, defending essential values: respect for etiquette, protection of the environment, preservation of the heritage of classic yachts and innovation for superyachts.

Then, on 20 June 2014, the Yacht Club began a new venture, with the opening of its new Club House, in a building approved by Lord Norman Foster. This showcase of Monégasque Yachting has encouraged – in accordance with the Sovereign’s wishes – the creation of the “Yachting Monaco” Cluster and “La Belle Classe Academy”. The latter is a training centre specialising in super yachting.

YACHT CLUB DE MONACO

The primo cup's recipe for success.

Home » Yachting in Monaco » YACHT CLUB DE MONACO

YACHT Class n° 37 (june-july-august 2024)

Interview bernard d’allessandri.

A member of the club since 1976, Bernard d’Alessandri, Secretary and General Manager of the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM), has been involved in all the events of the Primo Cup, which has become a not-to-be-missed event at the start of the season for many one-design classes. He talks to us about its creation and its tremendous development.

You joined the club in 1976, so you have been involved in every edition of the Primo Cup. Can you tell us about the creation of the competition and its concept?

It was created in 1985, at the instigation of HSH Prince Albert II, who had just taken over the presidency of the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM). Over the years, the Primo Cup has established itself as the start of the Mediterranean season for Europe’s one-design elite, which means that all the competitors use the same model of boat. Each crew competes with a boat that is identical to the others, placing the emphasis on the skills of the sailors rather than differences in boat design or performance. This approach aims to promote fairer competition and to emphasise the skill of the sailors rather than the advantages of the technical characteristics of the boats. With 4,400 classified boats, 1,100 starts, 200 days of sailing, 20,500 sailors and 44 series, the event has become a benchmark.

What memories do you have of the first edition?

The first edition dates back to early 1985. From 27 January to 10 February, the Yacht Club organised a new event in conjunction with the Var Mer sailing club in Saint-Laurent-du-Var. The idea was to kick off the regatta season by organising a coastal race for live-aboard yachts between the two ports. This is how the “Voiles en Février” event was born, and it was an instant success. From 1987 onwards, the event took place on triangular courses and in one-designs, and took the name of “Primo Cup”. By 1988, the event had grown to 88 boats and had become a classic.

Today, the regatta is the biggest gathering of one-design boats in Europe. How do you explain this success?

I think it is important to retain the series that have made one-design sailing such a success, while remaining open-minded. L30, Onefly, Longtze Premier (…), many series have chosen Monaco for their trial run. The fact that the Primo Cup maintains its reputation as an innovative event that is open to new classes appeals to many sailors. 

Every year, the world’s sailing elite are also present. How do the sailors view the Primo Cup?

There are amateurs, but there are also established champions, who have come to prepare their physical condition, meet up with friends and get to know the young guard. There are those from the Vendée Globe, Jean-Pierre Dick from Nice, Kito de Pavant, Michel Desjoyeaux, Jean Le Cam, sailors from the Tour de France à la Voile, Figaro sailors, and renowned sailors like Sébastien Josse, Grant Dalton, Ray Davies, Franck Cammas, John Kostecki, Enrico Chieffi, Flavio Favini, Marcus Hutchinson, Will Ryan… I think they all enjoy getting together in the middle of winter, in a friendly, international atmosphere.

The competition featured various one-design classes (Etchells, Surprise, Melges 32, Farr 30, J24, Platu 25, Esse 850… ) How were these chosen?

There must always be a minimum number of competitors (8 boats) in each participating series. The boats must also be one-designs, meaning that they are all built to the same hull and rigging plans, and to precise specifications in order to obtain identical boats. The crews are thus distinguished by their racing skills.  

A number of series have had their first sea trials in the Primo Cup, and Monaco has even been a testing ground for boat builders?

The Primo Cup has indeed become a real test bed for designers and builders, who preview their boats in competition in Monaco, as they have done in recent years with SB 20s, JOD 35s and Longtze Premiers. From the outset, our aim has been to support and promote high-level racing exclusively on one-design boats, putting all crews on an equal footing. 

What were the key series and why?

Numerous series have made the event a not-to-be-missed event. Among them, the J/70s have left their mark on the regatta’s history, with nearly 400 boats having sailed through Monaco over 10 editions. This class is also very popular with Monegasque sailors, with around twenty crews making up the largest J/70 fleet in the Mediterranean. In the same spirit, the emblematic Surprise series came to Monaco to race 29 times, represented by more than 700 boats. The J/24s were also a highlight of the event, with 27 participations and a fleet of over 450 boats.

Was there a particular edition that stood out for you? And/or a memory?

I cannot think of one in particular. They all stand out and they are all new. There are editions where exceptional sailors walk the quays, editions where innovations redistribute the cards, others where the number of crews explodes records… Each vintage is unique and seduces its public. But I shall always remember the editions where the snow came to the party. The very next day, the racers were sailing on a sunny stretch of water surrounded by snow-capped peaks. It obviously creates some postcard memories.

For a long time, the Primo Cup was held over two weekends. Why is this? Is this proof of the event’s success? What prompted the decision to go back to a single weekend?

Historically, the Primo Cup was held over two weekends for all series. But we decided to reduce the event to a single weekend at the request of the competitors, many of whom are amateurs. This made it easier for them to come in terms of organisation and travel costs. The idea is to constantly listen to the competitors.

The YCM moved to the Paquebot ten years ago. Has this enabled the competition to take on a new dimension?

With this new building, we have had the structure to offer a real regatta programme for international crews, who have been able to establish their winter base in Monaco, notably by taking part in the Monaco Sportsboat Winter Series. This circuit concludes each year with the Primo Cup. Today, we can count on the presence of teams from all over the world, demonstrating our desire to open up to the international scene.

The Making of… Yacht Club de Monaco

‘The Making of…’ is an opportunity to reflect on Foster + Partners’ completed projects and the process of making them.

Last month marked 10 years of the Yacht Club de Monaco, the symbolic centrepiece of Monaco’s harbour front. The nautical building features a clubroom and ballroom, a number of restaurants and a series of ‘cabins’ for visiting guests. The upper floors accommodate a range of event spaces, while the lower floors include a rowing club and sailing school, with sliding doors that encourage activities to spread out onto the quayside.

Patrick Campbell, Senior Partner, Annamaria Anderloni, Partner, and Ivan Kaye, Associate Partner, describe the process of designing and realising the project on a complex waterside site.  

Designing a flexible city in miniature

At the start of the design process, Norman produced a powerful concept sketch that showed the yacht club as a city in miniature, with schools, parks, restaurants, a network of interior circulation ‘streets,’ and a hierarchy of public and private areas. He saw the project as a continuation of Monaco’s dense urban fabric and an important part of civic life.

Bringing together the various functional spaces under one roof required a creative and coordinated approach from our team. We began by understanding the needs of the different users, from the children attending the sailing school (that is part of Monaco’s teaching curriculum), to the members and corporate partners using the event spaces and social areas. The building had to be extremely flexible to allow these different spaces to function in unison. Terraces and external staircases were designed to accommodate different flows through the building, without disturbing the club’s private areas.

Harnessing a shared commitment to sustainability

To realise the project, we worked closely with the Palace, the government, and a specially appointed Yacht Club de Monaco Commission, as well as a local architect and specialist contractors. Collaborating with these different stakeholders was an exercise in organisation and communication. We held fortnightly meetings with representatives from all parties, to ensure everyone could contribute to – and feedback on – the developing scheme.

It was crucial that the Yacht Club de Monaco Commission could recognise themselves in the new building, which marked a new chapter in their 60-year history. Additionally, the principality and the Commission both shared the practice’s commitment to sustainability, which was reflected in the finalised design. Photovoltaic cells, solar thermal panels and sea-water cooling systems are integrated within the building to meet the highest sustainability standards. Furthermore, the glazed harbour elevations are shaded by intricate louvres for protection from the sun and can be opened to naturally ventilate the building.

Working with a complex site

The site for the yacht club had to be created by reclaiming land from the Mediterranean Sea and extending the city’s existing marina eastwards. We began by removing rock from under the water and then created a new sea wall to drain the water away and start excavating. Although this was quite a challenging process, there is a long history of land reclamation projects in Monaco, and we worked with brilliant contactors who were experts in their field. Another challenge was making sure the bordering Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit could be used in July during the renowned event. This required us to pause construction, once a year for seven years, and restore the track before the race began.  

During the construction phase, we created mock ups on site to review different options with the client. This allowed us to engage with the design in a more tangible way and make informed decisions about materials, finishes, and lighting. We mocked up sections of the north and south façades, the external balustrades and louvres, as well as the external decking to make our final selections.

Responding to Monaco’s nautical heritage

With the city and mountains on one side – and water on the other – it was essential that the yacht club made the most of its spectacular surroundings. Cascading terraces along the harbour offer unrivalled views of sailing races and inland over the Grand Prix circuit. The building also speaks to the principality’s nautical heritage, with strong horizontal lines, wide deck-like terraces, and masts that are visible out at sea during the regattas.

Our bespoke interiors capture the spirit of sailing and communicate the yacht club’s incredible history. The refined colour palette and custom furniture is inspired by Tuiga, the club’s much-loved flagship vintage yacht. Every detail was considered, from the caulking between the floorboards that creates continuity between inside and outside, to the display system that is integrated into the walls of the main spaces. Channels are recessed into the panelling to allow the objects and artworks to be presented in different ways and tell the evolving story of the club.

During our final days on site, we worked together to carefully unpackage and curate the yacht club’s extensive collection.

Celebrating ten years of Yacht Club de Monaco

Today, ten years since completion, the building still feels absolutely right for its context and has stood the test of time. Last month, over 150 people attended the 10-year anniversary celebrations, including the club’s president Prince Albert II.

It was a great privilege work on such an important project for Monaco, which has become the social heart of the principality.

yacht club de monaco wikipedia

The Candidate

One of the sponsors must request an application form from the ‘Service Membres’ and go in person to pick it up. The form, having been duly completed and signed by the candidate and the two sponsors, should be accompanied by a letter of introduction from the first sponsor, explaining why the candidate wishes to join. It must be returned to ‘Service Membres’ within six months. After this date, the application will be cancelled.

The Sponsor

The sponsor plays a key role when introducing a new member to the Yacht Club de Monaco. It is their responsibility to ensure that newcomers fully embrace life at the Yacht Club, by introducing them to other members and involving them in events organised by the Club, whether they be of a social, cultural or sporting nature. The sponsor should also be committed to ensuring that the person they propose is encouraged to adopt the YCM’s philosophy and values, by actively participating in the life of the Club and constantly striving to raise the YCM’s standards.

Only one applicant per sponsor (society member) may be proposed and submitted per session for approval to the Admissions Committee which reserves the right to refuse any applicant without notification.
