Indeed, the majority of those who had had the opportunity to enjoy the winning formula of last year’s event was at Riva Trophy 2007, too, in which an amazing 20 yachts took part, 10 of which of the current production. The yachts, together with the pleasure of cruising, were the real protagonists of three intense days in which a number of sports competitions alternated with pleasant moments in which guests met up to enjoy themselves, toasting the occasion with a glass of Veuve Clicquot. A welcome cocktail at the Yacht Club de Monaco marked the opening of the event which, the following day, moved to the elegant beaches of St. Tropez. A long morning cruise, during which the Reliability Race was held, took owners to the Plage des Jumeaux, where they were able to relax and have fun in the sun. The beach was also the stunning setting for “White Night”, an exclusive evening featuring white as the leading colour, during which the “Riva Art Exhibition and Contest” was held. As last year, in fact, Riva Trophy Monaco - St. Tropez provided an opportunity to reaffirm the brand’s bond with art, promoting the works of young, emerging artists, produced on the “Riva” theme. Guests were called on to consider the works, and express their preference. St. Tropez welcomed participants the following morning, too, when they had the opportunity to test drive the new models TT Roadster, TT Coupé and R8 put at their disposal by Audi, Riva’s partner on this occasion, together with Credit Suisse and Starwood’s Luxury Collection. In the afternoon, the yachts returned to the Principality, where the event came to a close with a cocktail with Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame and a gala dinner at the Yacht Club, during which the winners of the different competitions were awarded their prizes. The winner of the Trophy received the work of art elected last year as a prize, whilst the artist who produced this year’s favourite will have the opportunity to organise a personal exhibition during the Monaco Yacht Show in the gallery of Monaco Boat Service, Riva’s historical dealer which operates in the Principality.

THE RIVA MYTH COMES TO LIFE AGAIN IN LIGURIA
The annual Riva meetings planned for the summer of 2007 have finally started. Dedicated to a passion for the sea and organised in stunning Italian and international resorts, these exclusive events will accompany Riva owners for the entire duration of the season. Traditional events, Riva Trophy Italy and Wooden Boats Meeting, have in fact already taken place from 31st May to 3rd June 2007. Now regular appointments held in the most exclusive resorts along the Italian coasts, they were joined together for the very first time this year to form a single event held in Santa Margherita Ligure. Consequently, the splendid Ligurian coast was the setting for this year’s first appointment. Both traditional wooden motorboats and more recently built yachts took part in the Ligurian event, representing Riva production from its origins to the present day, “seafaring” proof of the shipyard’s history which dates back over 160 years. Despite the bad weather of the first day, during the four day event a programme full of interesting activities and initiatives cheered up the participants, among which a long cruise that took owners to visit the new Riva Shipyard in La Spezia, where they admired how and where their “jewels” are completed. As always, there were the exclusive cocktails and gala dinners, while the Reliability Trials were appeased by the merriness of the Elegance Trial. During this latter competition, owners fitted out their yachts with the yellow and black colours of La Grande Dame Veuve Clicquot, Riva’s partner, as indeed were Audi, Hamilton, Crédit Suisse and Starwood’s Luxury Collection. The meeting, organised in collaboration with Nautica Casarola, one of Riva’s historical dealers, came to a close with an exclusive gala dinner at the well-know La Cervara restaurant in Portofino, during which the winners of the competitions were presented with their awards. The next few appointments planned for Riva owners are the Riva Trophy Monaco-St. Tropez, from 5th-7th July, and the Riva Owners Gala Dinner, which will take place on August 8th in the attractive setting of the Hotel Cala di Volpe in Porto Cervo....more »
