The Yacht Club de Monaco hosted eight J/70 teams competing in a stage of their European Match Race Tour. During this stage of the Grade 3 European Circuit, 24 races were run. The event was held aboard J/70s made available by members of the Yacht Club de Monaco, which has a total of 17 boats grouped under the J/70 Monaco Class Association presided by Michel Boussard. With six wins under his belt, Simon Bertheau, French Youth Match Race Vice-Champion won the day, having kept his adversaries in his sights and having total mastery of his boat. Alongside Pierrik Devic and Max Bulley, who finished sixth, the Philippe Buchard-François Brenac (two-time champion on the French circuit) pair also from Monaco, snatched second place after some tight tactical battles. A regular at international meetings, the young Rocco Attili showed his hand on the second day to move up into third, a spot he held onto Sunday.
