The world’s most exclusive reunion of restored wooden sailing yachts and the latest sophisticated maxi yachts happened again last week in Saint Tropez.
The book about it: Classic and Modern Yachts in Saint-Tropez is produced and ready by mid-November. You can get a first glimpse of it on www.regattabook.com
Yachting photographers, Juerg Kaufmann and Daniel Forster, and sailing writer, Lynn Fitzpatrick, have teamed up to produce a coffee table book of 'Les voiles de Saint-Tropez'. The book shows highlights of the yachts, people and atmosphere the event.
The 10th anniversary of the event was exceptional. This year, Les Voiles celebrated the 100th year anniversary of Tuiga and her sistership, Mariska. Many of the world’s most beautiful traditional yachts such as Elenora, Elena, Cambria, Shamrock and Moonbeam plied the same waters as the stylish Wallys.
The regattabook captures the essence of the event – the excitement, the venue, the yachts, the organizers, the partners, the characters and personalities that sail these yachts. The regattabook will enable you to live vicariously and remember a decade of regattas marking the close of the summer sailing season in the Mediterranean.
