When Luigi De Manincor was eight years old, his family moved from their home town of Rovigno to Trieste because their father had been appointed port inspector there.

In 1936 he was also third in the Star European Championship and in 1939 Italian champion in the same boat class. In 1950 he was fourth again at the Star World Championship in Chicago .

De Manincor later took up a job at the Baglietto shipyard in Genoa , where he was responsible for building racing yachts . As the skipper of Mait II , Italo Monzino's yacht from the founding family of the Standa supermarket chain , he took part in the 1962 regatta from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro , in which the ship took second place.

A memorial stone was unveiled for Luigi De Manincor near the cemetery of his birthplace Rovigno, which is now part of Croatia .
