Below is a selection of some of the most iconic photographs from the regattas organised by the YCCS in the waters of the Costa Smeralda and the La Maddalena Archipelago.
In more than 40 years spent chronicling the sea and sailing, Carlo Borlenghi’s lens captured far more than the competition. His images harness the power of nature and the emotions of the people involved.
With his unmistakable eye, always able to find new and unexpected perspectives, he transformed fleeting moments into images destined to stand the test of time.
His photographs have captured the sea in all its nuances: the power of the wind, the elegance of the yachts, the tension of the race, but also the light, the colours and the immensity of the seascapes.
Each image is the result of extraordinary artistic sensitivity combined with a deep understanding of the world of sailing and its dynamics.
Linked to the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda since the days of Azzurra and the 1983 America’s Cup challenge, Carlo documented some of the most significant chapters in international sailing history, helping to build and preserve its heritage.
His photographs did not merely record sporting events and results, but succeeded in conveying the very soul of sailing, capturing its passion, its challenges and values that set it apart.
Today, his work represents an extraordinary legacy that lives on through images that continue to move and inspire. A legacy built on passion, talent and dedication that will continue to tell the story of the sea and its people to future generations.
