Monegasque crews dominate in monotype, where precision is crucial for each maneuver on identical sailboats.
In the IRC/ORC regattas, crews combine tradition and performance on a variety of sailing boats, from classic to modern.
Monotype is a central concept in the world of competitive sailing, ensuring that sailors’ skill and strategy take precedence over technological advantages. In a monotype class, all sailboats are strictly identical, built according to the same plans and technical specifications. This includes strict dimensions, controlled weight, defined canopy, and standardized equipment. The objective is simple: to create fair racing conditions where a boat’s performance does not depend on innovations or technical modifications, but only on the talent of the crew.
