Electromobility in bluewater yachting, is this really a thing? If you do it right, yes! And in collaboration with Torqeedo, the team at Contest Yachts has developed an intriguing solution to sustainable electric propulsion. In this first episode, we discuss with Contest's CEO Arjen Conijn what this means, from concept to practical delivery.

The Sevenstar Contest Meeting Mallorca 2023, held in the last week of September at the RCNP Yacht Club, showcased a spectacular fleet of yachts and thrilling races against the stunning backdrop of the Bay of Palma. As crews and spectators mingled over cocktails and tapas on the pool-side terrace of the pristine white clubhouse, the initial windless morning delayed race starts until the afternoon sea breeze enabled competitive racing in up to 14 knots of wind. Following the daily races, participants enjoyed exquisite dinners at local hotspots like Cappuccino’s and RCNP’s Restaurante El Náutico, basking in the famous, richly-hued Palma sunsets. Saturday's coastal race unfolded seamlessly with a timely start, leading into an engaging route around Isla del Sech and culminating in an afternoon prize-giving party. These days of intense competition and leisurely evenings encapsulated a seamless blend of sporting spirit and luxurious relaxation. @YachtTransport #SailingMallorca #RCNPYachtClub #SailingRegatta #ContestYachts
