For the 10th year in a row, the Mediterranean summer sailing season comes to a climatic end with Les Voiles de Staint-Tropez. The spectacle, unlike any other, draws more than 300 classic and modern yachts, including the Wallys. Over 3,000 sailors will be on hand from September 27 – October 4, 2009 to join in the fun.
Legendary yachts, which have been restored to perfection and crews dressed to complement them take over this jewel of the French Riviera and its marina. They race in the Gulf by day and celebrate by night.
Special festivities during this year’s Les Voiles de Staint-Tropez include 100th year anniversary celebrations for Tuiga and Mariska and the gathering of five of Eric Tabarlay’s Pen Duick yachts.
