The inaugural Dubois Cup took place in Palma in 2007 following a conversation between Ed Dubois and a client who suggested the idea of a regatta solely for Dubois yachts. As with many things, the idea grew and the Dubois Cup was established – an opportunity for owners to enjoy their boats, to put them through their paces and to meet other Dubois owners and friends.

The second Dubois Cup took place in 2009 at the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in Sardinia and the third Cup took place earlier this year, from 4th – 6th June, again held at and organised in conjunction with the YCCS.

This invitation-only event is the only Superyacht regatta to combine racing and a full social programme with a commitment to raising money for charity.

The 3rd Dubois Cup has been hailed as the best yet, with 14 Dubois designs in attendance and 8 of the fleet taking part in the racing.  Despite a few weather problems the event ran very successfully.
