Monaco Sportsboat Winter Series – Act I 2026
The Monaco Sportsboat Winter Series returns to the waters off the Principality from 5 to 8 November 2026 for the opening act of its 2026–2027 season. Organised by the Yacht Club de Monaco, the series brings together competitive J/70 crews for four days of winter racing in one of the Mediterranean’s best-known sailing venues.
Four days of J/70 racing
The Monaco Sportsboat Winter Series has been part of the Yacht Club de Monaco’s winter calendar since 2013, giving experienced European crews the opportunity to continue racing at a high level outside the traditional summer season. Act I opens a four-event championship that continues in December 2026, February 2027 and March 2027.
The event is designed around repeated racing sessions across the four-day programme, with results contributing to the wider winter series. The official Yacht Club calendar confirms the event dates but does not publish one universal public start time for the entire act, so no single daily start time is shown here.
Good to know
Act I runs from Thursday 5 to Sunday 8 November 2026. Racing schedules, competitor instructions and any spectator information should be checked directly with the Yacht Club de Monaco, as timings can depend on race management and weather conditions.
About the venue
The Yacht Club de Monaco is based on Quai Louis II in Port Hercule and is one of the Principality’s principal centres for sailing, yachting and international maritime events.
