High Point YachtFest

Following a fantastic success of the 4th High Point YachtFest (in Sardinia), with 9 boats, we are pleased to announce that our next event will be held in Sicily, sailing around the Aeolian islands. The dates are 22nd to 29th September 2012.

We spent two years exploring Sardinia and Corsica and had a wonderful time sailing, socialising, exploring the beauty of La Maddalena archipelago and south Corsica. We will no doubt be back there soon again. For 2012 we have chosen the Aeolian islands, the area most of us have never sailed before. But it looks like we are in for a great treat - Lipari, Stromboli, Vulcano, Panarea. We are also very fortunate to have a local expert Daniele Egitto with us, who has been a great help from the start of the organization. We have capped the numbers to 12 boats for the 2012 event and have already welcomed back everyone who participated in HPYF 2011! Thank you all for a great support and contribution to one of the most fun weeks of the year! Congratulations (AGAIN!) to Caro and her Dutch team on a yet another fantastic victory! We very much look forward to challenge you next year! 

HPYF 2012 invitation

The Annual High Point YachtFests are multinational fun sporting regattas to be held in Autumn around the Mediterranean, involving non-aggressive, non-professional sailing with the focus on the social side.

They are for people who like sailing and want to meet others from a common professional background. A year's anticipation and hopes will be crowned with a week's sailing in beautiful surroundings and with fantastic entertainment. You will make new friends and look forward to meeting up again in future years.

HPYFs take place around the Mediterranean, allowing participants to enjoy the history, culture and stunning natural environment of the region.  Participants in the regatta are drawn from different professions and the regatta itself is competitively priced to allow anyone who wants to participate.
