The showcase event for innovation in the superyacht industry, the Monaco Yacht Show, returns 24-27 September 2025. Amongst the world’s most eminent superyachts, offshore sailing great and Ferrari Hypersail Team Principal Giovanni Soldini will deliver the keynote at the Southern Spars Monaco Yacht Show Breakfast.  

Horsepower Meets Sailpower  

Always highly anticipated, the Monaco Yacht Show Breakfast is an invitation-only event hosted by Southern Spars, the global leader in high-performance composite rig technology for luxury yachts, in collaboration with its sister organisations Future Fibres and RigPro. 

Southern Spars is delighted to welcome Giovanni Soldini, one of offshore sailing’s most accomplished and respected figures. His career spans more than 40 major ocean races, including two solo round-the-world challenges – second place in the 1994/95 B.O.C. Challenge, and victory in the 1998/99 Around Alone race – alongside a long list of record-breaking moments, including the Golden Route record, Cape2Rio record, Hong Kong to London record, and the original Fastnet route record. 

His latest challenge is leading Ferrari’s Hypersail project as Team Principal. Southern Spars is proud to be innovating alongside Soldini and Ferrari on this groundbreaking 100-foot ocean-racing monohull prototype – shattering the mould and flying into the future of sailing. 

Featured Yachts 

Some of the largest, highest performing Southern Spars rigs will also be on display at the show, onboard the world’s most beautiful sailing superyachts.  

Launched this year, the 44.33-metre aluminium sloop Magic, built by Vitters, features a 62-metre Southern Spars rig and ECsix multistrand rigging from Future Fibres, combining elegant design with cutting-edge performance.  

Also making its debut is Swan 128 BeCool – at 39 metres, it is the second-largest Swan ever built. The yacht is equipped with AEROsix lateral rigging and ECsix fore and aft rigging, showcasing an ultra-reliable aero-optimised rigging package. 

Frers 59 Maximus, a ketch launched by Vitters Shipyard in 2024, carries two 65.7-metre high-performance Southern Spars masts, paired with ECsix standing rigging from Future Fibres and a full running rigging package designed in-house by RigPro.  

Launched in 2024, the 60-metre ketch Katana features an aluminium hull and cutting-edge performance technology – including carbon fibre masts and bowsprit by Southern Spars. 

Landmark Projects & Development  

Southern Spars, Future Fibres and RigPro have lots to share throughout the show. With three groundbreaking DynaRig projects currently in construction – including one for the world’s largest sailing catamaran and another for a very large monohull superyacht – the DynaRig team will be on hand to discuss the possibilities of the revolutionary automated sailing system. Meanwhile, Future Fibres’ latest breakthrough is the world’s first ultra-high modulus carbon fibre rigging product.  

Come and meet with experts from Southern Spars and its sister organisations Hall Spars, Future Fibres and RigPro to discuss all these developments and more at Booth QH7, (QUAI L’HIRONDELLE), 24 – 27 September 2025.
