The objectives

  • The preservation of maritime heritage and the respect for all units and elements associated with it,
  • Respect for history, the maintenance and conservation of the yacht for which the owner is responsible, with a constant search for authenticity and preservation of its original state,
  • The application of maritime rules of mutual assistance, solidarity, and hospitality as prescribed by naval etiquette, both at sea and on land,
  • Participation in traditional yacht gatherings, always promoting, in every circumstance, a ‘gentlemanly’ attitude, based on respect and courtesy, whether it concerns other competitors or the protection of yachts and individuals,
  • Sharing and transmitting the pleasure of the sea and its values,
  • Respect for the environment and the sea. Admission to ‘La Belle Classe Tradition’ is not sought after; there is no admission fee. Only the demonstration of a true commitment and a sincere desire to uphold this ethical code allow access.
