Winning the 151 Miglia Challenge Trophy is Giacomo Loro Piana's Cookson 50 TestaCuore Race, which thanks to a strategically perfect race got the better of over 120 boats in the ORC International grouping (as well as in the ORC A group), a super-competitive fleet that could do nothing against the sumptuous performance of the crew racing for the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda.

A total of 121 yachts from 14 nations are registered in the A, B and C classes. In addition to the three reigning World Champion teams from 2022 in Porto Cervo (Italy), all nine medal winners from the 2021 World Championship in Tallinn (Estonia) will also be at the start.
