– Two Club 55 Cups no less! – Spartan wins the Centenarian Trophy – Galateia victorious in elapsed time, Cannonball in corrected time for the Maxis
No two days are ever the same at Les Voiles. Enjoying a thundering start to the week, with each of the three large groups of Maxi, Modern and Classic yachts validating races every day, the wonderful week of competition in Saint Tropez is catching its breath in the happy nostalgia of its past. Indeed, Challenge Day offers sailors the opportunity to relive what proved to be the catalyst for Les Voiles, the Club 55 Cup, with the challenge between the Swan Pride and the 12 m Ikra . The 23 centenarians sailboats competing here this year also made the most of the occasion to have their own original regatta, in the wake of not one but two versions of the Club 55 Cup. Indeed, the 12 m France challenged the Bermudan yawl Hermitage , swiftly followed by a dozen or so individual challenges with two or three boats of different construction and type. Meantime, the large Maxis continued their championship along the eastern fringes of the gulf, validating another fiercely contested race.
