Les Voiles – an extension of summer!

Summer is slowly deserting France, with all the country slowly breaking into autumn, leaving the heady delights of summer in its wake. All that is except for Saint Tropez, the little village in the Var region bordering the Mediterranean, which is still embracing the warmth of the sun. As such, the whole of the sailing planet is naturally migrating towards the Gulf one last time to enjoy the buzz of racing, the wonderful spectacle of myriads of sails and the infectious passion of seafarers in their element. The 24th edition of Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez is open to yachting fans the world over and the 2022 version will once again run for two joyous weeks with a line-up of classic yachts and ultra-modern Maxis. On the race programme will be the familiar series of legendary and unmissable events, ranging from the arrival of the classic yachts competing in the Yacht Club de France’s Autumn Cup on Sunday afternoon, to the Rolex Trophy, Challenge Day and its Centenarian Trophy.

250 sailboats and nearly 3,000 sailors are champing at the bit as they prepare to celebrate the true spirit of international yachting in all its glory on the waters of Saint Tropez.
