Hello everyone, the 69F season has started at full speed in the US where the southern states climate allows sailing in the first months of the year. In Europe things are set for the upcoming season starting with the Valencia Mar 69F Cup at the end of April.

💨 A few pieces of news on the partnership side, we are very pleased to announce two new partners. North Sails will power the whole six-pack fleet of boats owned by 69F and will gently replace the old sails on the privately owned boats. The partnership with North Sails complies perfectly with the progress 69F is undergoing. It is a natural path towards international affirmation after the first few successful 69F Sailing seasons on both sides of the Atlantic and the plan of growing even more on other areas of the world 🌎
📟 Vakaros, the innovative company of instruments for sailing, will be for the first time the official instruments of a whole class, helping with its original RaceSense to spot OCS at the start. This partnership finds purpose in the constant evolution of technology in sailing, which are deep-seated in both 69F and Vakaros, with the idea of developing one with the other.
The third event of the YFGC will be in Kingston, Canada 🇨🇦 from July 10th to the 15th

A big welcome to our new class president: Silvia Sicouri
We are honoured to have as representative an amazing woman, Olympian athlete and qualified economist, who shares our values and intentions.
Having an outstanding sailing career is not the only thing which makes of Silvia a trustworthy president.
She is a multiple podium finisher in the 49er FX Italian Championship and ISAF Sailing World Cup winner for several years, and she represented Italy at the Olympic Games of RIO 2016 in Nacra17 with Vittorio Bissaro . But she is also a BA and MA graduate at Politecnico di Milano and has several important work experiences in the Sustainable Energy field, where she is also currently working.
On top of these achievements, Silvia shares with 69F some key human values which we are sure will contribute to a bright future for the class: she is determined, forward thinking and inclusive.

69F CUP EUROPE: THE OPEN CIRCUIT FOR THE ONLY ONE-DESIGN, FOILING MONOHULL FOR CREW
Less than a month to the start of 69F Sailing European season in Valencia, Spain, with Valencia Mar Sailing Week
Just over a month to go before the official start of the European season of 69F, the only open circuit for one-design, foiling monohull for crew. The 69F Cup, a series of six regattas around the Mediterranean and lakes, will kick off as it did in 2022, right from Valencia, the unforgettable home of the iconic 32nd America's Cup, appreciated by all sailing teams for its fantastic conditions. The Valencia Mar 69F Cup will start on April 25th with two days of warm-ups, real on-water training sessions assisted by the 69F shore team, so that even those new to sailing or foiling can gain edge over the more experienced, and for those who take advantage of the 'pay-per-play' formula can warm-up their engines. From April 27th to 30th it will be time for real competition with up to six races a day, managed on the water by a team of super experts, such as Race Director Dede De Luca, PRO David Bartol and umpires Marco Mercuriali and David Maria Gosalbez. After Valencia, the season will continue with five more events: from May 29th to June 3rd on Lake Molveno, just north of Lake Garda; from June 26th to July 1st in Malcesine, on Lake Garda, during th Foiling Week 2023; then in Portoroz, Slovenia, from July 25th to the 30th; at the end of the summer it will return to Sardinia, in Puntaldia, from September 19th to 24th; and there will be a final leg in October yet to be determined. The 69F European season starts after months of back-office work and regattas in the U.S. Florida has proven to be an excellent race course for the 7-meter foiling monohulls, and many, including European teams, have appreciated being able to continue racing in the winter. On the old continent, work is being done on the development of new partnerships, such as with North Sails, which will be the official sailmaker of 69F from this year on; with Vakaros, instruments to support navigation and the race committee by being able to check the OCSs live; and with several America's Cup teams, which will use 69F as a platform for training and selection of women's and youth teams. The 69F class elected its new president, Silvia Sicouri, at its annual meeting. A incredible sailing career is not the only thing that makes Silvia a reliable president. A multiple medalist in the Italian 49er FX Championship and winner of the ISAF Sailing World Cup for several years, she represented Italy at the 2016 RIO Olympic Games in Nacra17 with Vittorio Bissaro. But she also holds a degree and diploma from the Milan Polytechnic and has several important work experiences in the field of sustainable energy, where she currently works. In addition to these achievements, Silvia shares some core human values with 69F that we are sure will contribute to a bright future for the class: she is determined, forward-thinking, and inclusive. Before hitting the water, the 69F will participate to the Foiling Awards, on March 29th in Milan, as it is among the nominees for the best foiling event of 2022, with other excellent happenings, such as SailGP, iQFOiL Worlds, The Ocean Race, GC32 Racing Tour and six other top events. The only open circuit for one-design, foiling monohull for crew is ready to touch the European waters in the last week of April in Valencia, Spain, bringing foiling to everyone.
