SAVE THE DATE
On Thursday May 1st in Palma, ESTELA will be hosting a must-attend seminar for all superyacht captains, crew, and anyone working with yachts.
Featuring a number of attendees from the Italian Yacht Masters association, Captain Pietro Borgo will lead a two-part panel discussion with a number of fellow captains on its ‘Steering to Green’ initiative.
#SteeringtoGreen
This seminar will start by exploring the daily operational practices that can reduce a yacht’s environmental impact. From drinking water filtration systems that reduce the use of plastic water bottles to adopting environmentally-friendly products on board, the panel will discuss the smaller impacts captains and crew can make.
IYM Captains: “Ask Me Anything”
The second part of the seminar is an open mic session, where we open the floor to questions from the audience. As the title suggests, this is YOUR opportunity to ask a panel of experienced superyacht questions literally ANYTHING. New to the industry and looking for advice? Want to know about working on sail versus motor, private or charter? Or about contracts, remuneration and tips, and working practices? Whatever it is, come and put your questions to the experts.
If you’re worried about asking a personal or potentially delicate question in public, no fear. We will enable you to put your question to us in advance and we will put it to the panel anonymously on your behalf.
More details will follow soon, but don`t miss this chance to learn from IYM’s decades of collective experience on the bridge!
About Italian Yacht Masters
Italian Yacht Masters (IYM) is a non-profit association, founded in 2013 with the aim of connecting the Italian maritime community, enhancing the pride and long tradition of Italian navigation, with a particular focus on superyachts. The association provides guidelines and international standards to define and expand the profession of superyacht captains. https://www.italianyachtmasters.com/
Legendary yachtsman Andrea Mura will join us in Palma on Friday, May 2.
Stay tuned for further details, but don`t miss one of the sailing world`s most accomplished competitors` exploits!
With almost 50 years of sailing experience, Andrea Mura is one of Italy`s greatest. Mura, from Cagliari, Sardinia, started sailing in the early 1970s and excelled in competitive racing.
Two European 420 titles, a Junior World 470 title, and three Olympic campaigns were among his early successes in Olympic-class vessels. The Italian government awarded him the "Silver Medal for National Athletic Value" aged 18.
Mura became mainsail trimmer and tactical assistant for Paul Cayard`s "Il Moro di Venezia" America`s Cup team in 1989, helping win two world championships and a Louis Vuitton Cup.
The 2007 purchase of Mura`s Open 50 yacht "Vento di Sardegna" (Wind of Sardinia) launched his solo ocean racing career. Mura has led Italian sailing to remarkable success with the Sardinian flag and Four Moors:
Italian first to win Route du Rhum solo transatlantic race (2010)
- 2013 and 2017 OSTAR (Original Single-handed Transatlantic Race) champion.
- Set many course records, including Twostar transatlantic (2012) and Québec-Saint Malo (2012).
- Placed third in the Global Solo Challenge (2023-2024) and became the fifth Italian to solo round the planet.
In the 2017 OSTAR, he navigated "the perfect storm" by sailing beyond the 58th parallel north when several competitors had to abandon the race, demonstrating his expertise and courage.
Mura founded Veleria Andrea Mura Sail Design in 1985, a sail loft noted for high-tech innovations, in addition to racing. He is a UNICEF Testimonial, Raymarine navigation equipment ambassador, and One Ocean initiative enthusiast.
Mura received two Italian Olympic Committee Gold Medals for National Athletic Value, the Confindustria Award for "The Image of Italy that Does and Wins," and a sculpture in the Port of Cagliari honouring his remarkable career.
His 2013 book "The Adventure, the Unknown and Fear" won the Carlo Marincovich literary prize, solidifying his standing as a leading sailing personality in Italy and beyond.
Meet Andrea on May 2nd.
