Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, September 29 to October 8: <\/p>\n\n

\n
\n
\n
A prestigious and not-to-be-missed sailing event organised for the 25th time by the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Nautique de Saint-Tropez, Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez brings together a fleet of over 250 boats on the same stretch of water.\u00a0\u00a0The world\u2019s finest boats in the Maxi, Modern and Classic Classes are expected in and around the port of Saint-Tropez from September 29 to bring the excitement of another edition to life in a brand new format, with an onshore race village set up for the first time on the seawall M\u00f4le Jean R\u00e9veille.<\/b><\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div><\/blockquote><\/p>\n\n

\n
Big news this year is that the Saint-Tropez regatta will open on Sunday, October 1 with an impressive fleet of nearly 50\u00a0Maxis<\/b>.\u00a0\u00a0Maxi yachts are yachts over 18.28 metres (60 foot) in length, designed to be on the leading-edge of yacht racing.\u00a0\u00a0These yachts are often characterised by their state-of-the-art equipment and exclusive designs, combining comfort and performance\u00a0\u00a0The incredible Wally yachts are an exceptional illustration of this, with a strong presence this year with 10 boats including the brand new\u00a0Y3K<\/i> designed by Judel and Vrolik.<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div><\/blockquote><\/p>\n\n

\n
\n
\n
In the\u00a0Moderns<\/b>, a new division of the competitors into 4 classes, instead of the 5 last year, should reshuffle the cards for certain series and potentially open the door to a few reversals of fortune.\u00a0\u00a0This will not put off Laurent Courbin\u2019s crew, flying the colours of Stade Fran\u00e7ais, on their 53 foot\u00a0Yagiza<\/i>, who are hoping to make it a double after their victory in the North Sails Trophy in 2022.\u00a0\u00a0The same determination also applies to the TP52\u00a0Nanoq<\/i>\u00a0team sailed by Prince Frederik of Denmark, the undisputed winners of the BMW Trophy.<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div><\/blockquote><\/p>\n\n

\n
\n
\n
As for the\u00a0Classics<\/b>, the 2023 edition looks set to be a banner year, with 5 two- or three-masted schooners between 35 and 55 metres overall, including the elegant\u00a0Elena of London<\/i>, as well as a very fine series of eleven 12m J1, the sleek monohulls some twenty metres long made famous for being the support boats for the America\u2019s Cup from 1958 to 1987.<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div><\/blockquote><\/p>\n\n

\n
\n
\n
The new layout of the Voiles race village also includes a number of new features.\u00a0\u00a0At the entrance, along the quay Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Mistral, a 150 m2\u00a0<\/sup>official North Sails boutique mounted on stilts will welcome the public and participants alike.\u00a0\u00a0Visitors will then be able to walk either along the inside of the harbour past the exhibitors\u2019 stands to the SNST shop and the race registration and committee area, or along the seafront with other exhibitors to the bar and pergola terrace, or to the stage where concerts and prize-giving ceremonies will be held.<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div><\/blockquote><\/p>\n\n

To facilitate access to the seawall M\u00f4le Jean R\u00e9veille and M\u00f4le Estienne d\u2019Orves from the port car park, a free water-taxi transfer with a maximum capacity of 45 passengers, open to competitors and the public alike, will provide shuttle services from 8.30am and 8.30pm between the capitanerie dock and the sea wall. <\/p>\n\n

\n
Once again, the Voiles de Saint-Tropez will be a sell-out event.\u00a0\u00a0As the maximum number of competitors was reached mid June in all categories, the waiting lists have been closed for the 25th edition.<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div><\/blockquote><\/p>\n\n

In order to optimise the safety of the starts in the Gulf, the exclusion zone at sea has been extended as far as the M\u00f4le Jean R\u00e9veille. This new arrangement will also give the public on land a better view of the start line, as no spectator boats will be allowed to pass through or stay in this zone.<\/p>\n\n
