The Imperia Sailing Week 2026 is a unique week dedicated to the sea, sailing, and its heritage, designed to engage both enthusiasts and the general public.

The event unfolds in two main moments, distinct yet complementary, creating a rich and complete experience:

• 12mR Championship
  in the first days, Imperia welcomes the spectacular 12mR yachts, protagonists of technical and fascinating races. This is the most competitive phase of the week, where the sea becomes a stage for international performance and high-level sailing.

• 40th Classic Yacht Regatta
  following this, the harbour transforms into an open-air museum. Classic yachts from across the mediterranean bring the port to life with regattas, parades, and onshore moments, celebrating forty years of history, tradition, and maritime culture.

Throughout the week, beyond the races, visitors can fully experience the event ashore: strolling along the docks, admiring the yachts up close, taking part in side events, and breathing in the unique atmosphere of Imperia.

The sailing week is much more than a sporting event: it is an open experience for everyone, where sailing becomes an opportunity to connect, discover, and tell the story of the sea.
