Gaastra_Voiles_de_St_Tropez

Did you know that it all started with a bet in 1981? Two yacht own­ers met in the Club 55 in St-Tropez and after a few drinks the ques­tion came up whose boat was faster. The next day they started off with their race – and the begin­ning of today’s most spec­tac­u­lar regatta was born. They named it after the buoy they had to hit: La Nioulargue. But years later a tragic death of par­tic­i­pat­ing sailor men led to the end of this upcom­ing event. Time passed by and peo­pled started to miss their beloved regatta so the city of St-Tropez decided to host an alter­na­tive regatta named “Les Voiles de St. Tropez”. The pop­u­lar­ity rose again and down to the present day the “Les Voiles de St. Tropez” marks the sea­sonal end­ing of the Mediter­ranean regatta sea­son.
Become a part of this nau­ti­cal event and shop the new VDST Col­lec­tion for MEN, WOMEN and JUNIORS and show up in St-Tropez from the 27th Sep­tem­ber to the 3rd of Octo­ber. Hope to see you there!
