The Navicap Challenge-Trophée Elena Sivoldaeva 2025 was won in fine style by Victor Holst and Paul Pillon, young sailors from Yacht Club de Monaco, ahead of a record fleet of 65 crews from eight nations. Organised by the YCM in collaboration with FxPro and North Sails, the event is unique as one where teamwork takes on a whole new dimension given the very different profiles of the participants. “Over these last three days, we saw double-hander crews capable of adapting, listening to each other and building a rhythm race after race. This is exactly what we want to encourage: demanding sailing, where technique counts as much as teamwork,” said YCM Managing Director and General Secretary Bernard d’Alessandri.
