– Grand finale for the Maxis – 15mRs, 12mRs, Yawls… the Classics go large in the breeze – The Modern yachts tussle for the love of the sport
Today saw the Maxi Yachts round off an intense week of racing at Les Voiles with five races validated in 5 days! Job done then for the 40 Maxi Yachts, whose presence in Saint Tropez has made it the second largest Maxi meet in the world! Split into four groups, A, B, C and D, these elegant racing machines got down to action in a series of coastal courses spanning Cap Bénat to Les Issambres. Racing in close contact on some delightfully technical courses, these imposing race yachts tweaked by high-performance sailors from right around the globe, showcased their amazing prowess in all types of breeze, posted lightning speed at every point of sail and were incredibly responsive to variations in pressure. This evening, with their sights already on the 2024 edition, they celebrate their prize winners!
