Panerai Radiomir Bronzo

Panerai celebrates the 90th Anniversary of Eilean, the Bermudian ketch designed and built in 1936 by the renowned Scottish shipyard Fife of Fairlie, by announcing its highly anticipated return to the classic regatta circuit, after its last appearance in 2018.

This comeback solidifies Panerai’s enduring legacy in the sailing world, a journey that began in 2000 with the sponsorship of the Laureus Regatta Panerai Trophy in Monaco and was further expanded in 2005 with the launch of the prestigious Classic Yachts Challenge – an annual circuit comprising of major classic-yacht regattas that ran for fourteen years, with Eilean’s participation starting from 2010.

Eilean’s 2026 Season is set to commence in Viareggio (Italy) on May 15, with the official ship launch at Cantiere del Carlo, the renowned Italian shipyard specializing in the construction and restoration of classic wooden yachts. From there, Eilean embarks on a series of classic regattas, traveling across the French Riviera, Italy, and Spain, before concluding its journey in Cannes, France.
