A reference edition! This 24th edition of Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez is undoubtedly a red-letter year. Coloured by big breeze or light airs, each of the two weeks of racing pitted the most beautiful classic and modern yachts in the world against one another in a truly sumptuous setting. 46 of the latter group, the so-called Maxis, which measure in excess of 60 feet, constituted the largest gathering of this kind in.

Coloured by big breeze or light airs, each of the two weeks of racing pitted the most beautiful classic and modern yachts in the world against one another in a truly sumptuous setting. 46 of the latter group, the so-called Maxis, which measure in excess of 60 feet, constituted the largest gathering of this kind in the Mediterranean. The last event in their inshore challenge, Saint Tropez crowned Capricorno as the best Maxi of the season on behalf of the International Maxi Association. The IMA also made the most of its presence at Les Voiles to open its doors to Multihulls and foilers which, going forward, will be invited to further flesh out its start lines in Saint Tropez.
The race village, the beating heart of Les Voiles Beyond the dazzling spectacle and the competitive aspect of the event, another great source of satisfaction for President Roinson and his teams over the past fortnight has been the wonderful social atmosphere at the heart of the eco-design Race Village at Les Voiles. Indeed, the unmissable nerve centre buzzed with the good humour of sailors from all around the world until late into the evening each day.
