As two yacht owners and entrepreneurs, Joe Vittoria, on the world’s largest sloop, and Tom Perkins, on the world’s largest clipper, left Monaco this morning, you could almost feel the presence of Sir Thomas Lipton, smiling at a scene that his Shamrock would have been part of 100 years ago!

The promised high winds didn’t materialise, nor did the typical Côte d’Azur cloudless blue skies, but it didn’t matter; this was the stuff sailing legends are about.

BYM News is on board the Mirabella V and will be bringing you first hand impressions and expert opinion of what these two great sailing boats are about and how they compare.

Is the Mirabella V a sailing yacht, or a motor boat with a mast? The answer.
