This year’s Regatta Illes Balearic Classics took place from Wednesday, August 13 to Sunday, August 17, the event brought together 33 classic sailing yachts. Each yacht was invited to take part in a spirited competition—not just on the water, but in a united effort to protect the planet. Each participating yacht was able to support the team to win the Sail4Earth “You on Earth” Trophy.

The winner of the Sail4Earth “You on Earth” Trophy is Classic Sailing Yacht Tuiga, a 15 Metre Class (15M IR), competing in and also winning this year’s Big Boat Class. Tuiga was built in 1909 by the prestigious Scottish shipyard of William Fife III. Yacht Club de Monaco, with the support of Prince Albert, adopted Tuiga as its flagship vessel, cementing her status as one of the great icons of international classic sailing.

A Race for Earth
As the oceans face mounting environmental threats—from coral reef destruction to the loss of natural habitats and biodiversity—Sail4Earth offers a new kind of challenge: one that blends passion for sailing with real-world conservation impact. The initiative invites sailors to actively participate in nature protection through the Uon.Earth app supporting the Union of Nature Foundation (UON).
