The Twenty-Second Primo Cup – Credit Suisse Trophy opened the Mediterranean 2006 Yachting Season with the first of the annual event’s two successive weekends. 113 internationally-flagged sailing craft were in attendance, spread over 5 Categories: 30 Dragons, 14 Stars, 38 Surprises, 21 J24s, and 10 Laser SB3s, - the latter an entirely new selection for the Monaco-waters regatta. 600 crew from 16 nationalities were at the ready for this One-Design Season Opener.

Waiting for the wind tries any sailor’s patience – but it is a fact of sailing life. Ideal conditions sprang up on the third day of the Regatta: a nice South-Westerly of 15 knots, with a bright sun and blue heavens. A delightful day for all those who travelled from afar to compete. With only a single Round having been run the preceding day, the Race Committee decided to take the bull by the horns and make up for the feeble breezes of the first two days. It was a good bet: Over the single day of Sunday 20 successful starts were signalled – with 4 rounds per Series.
