The CNB Rendez-Vous 2026 has come to a close in Porto Rotondo, Sardinia, once again confirming its status as one of the Mediterranean’s most exclusive gatherings for CNB Yacht Builders owners. Over two days of racing, 25 crews aboard yachts ranging from 60 to 86 feet delivered a captivating display of seamanship, competing in light and ever-changing breezes that rewarded tactical precision, patience, and an intuitive feel for the conditions.
Claiming the Overall title was Expression of London, the Bordeaux 60 SD campaigned by Rob Conn, whose consistent performances across both race days secured victory in the overall standings as well as top honours in Group A.
In Group B, the spotlight belonged to SWAY, the CNB 66 skippered by Christian Scherer, whose crew combined determination and flawless execution to emerge as the class winner after two fiercely contested days on the water.
More than a regatta, the CNB Rendez-Vous once again celebrated the spirit of the CNB community, bringing together exceptional yachts, passionate owners, and world-class sailing in the spectacular setting of Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda.
