Classics and Moderns make way for Maxis Trophies for the first week of Les Voiles
The winners of the Trophées des Voiles : Rolex Trophy: schooners take centre stage Seven magnificent classic schooners were racing in their own group as part of the prestigious Rolex Trophy. Shenandoah of Sark, the majestic three-masted schooner designed by Ferris (1902) and helmed by Russel Potter, made the most of the last race in a steady breeze to triumph, notably over the huge and formidable Elena of London. Shenandoah beat Orianda, the beautiful Danish schooner (Dahlstrom 1937) and the very fast Naema (Mylne 2006).
