As you might have recognized: We love sailing! “Les Voiles de St Tropez” is one of our favourite yachting events every year. We would love to inspire you and us with the video material of last year. Have fun and sail away.
Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez is an amazing rendezvous of yachts. First run twenty-six years ago as La Nioulargue, the regatta gathers together the most extraordinary modern sailing boats alongside the most beautiful traditional yachts in the early autumn. A host of racers and sailing enthusiasts come from all the corners of the globe to do battle in the bay of Saint-Tropez. The Trophée Rolex is awarded to the winner of the Classic Division over 16 metres. (Date: September 26 – October 3, 2010)
Left the Port of Santa Cruz, light 10-knot wind blowing, but heavier winds are expected. Slow start to our voyage, but no one is complaining. The autopilot keeps a straight course, so no hand steering required. We’re trying to save some energy for the testing miles ahead. Heavy rain all day. Squalls then light winds. Rocky night expected. Received a VHF call from another yacht last night relaying a message about a yacht in distress. Promised we would keep our eyes open. No sign of distressed yacht though. St. Martin: first a shimmery glow, now clearly visible. Almost there! After so long at sea it feels great to make landfall! With a good breeze blowing we can count on making steady progress. Looks like we will be arriving during the day. St. Martin here we come.
