Spinnaker Sailing bursts with kinetic force as a billowing sail catches the Mediterranean wind off Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda in August 1973. The vibrant fabric stretches taut against azure skies while the yacht heels into crystalline waves, its crew working in balletic synchronization. This moment unfolds at the height of the sailing season in Porto Cervo, where the Aga Khan’s visionary development had transformed rugged coastline into Europe’s most exclusive nautical playground. Just six years after founding the legendary Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, this pristine stretch of sapphire coast hosted international competitions that drew the world’s sailing elite.
