Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez 2026 | Jimmy Spithill
America’s Cup winner Jimmy Spithill is normally to be seen sailing at high speed on foils, but at Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez he’s retuned to the roots of sailing, helming Monaco Yacht Club’s famous 1909 Fife-designed ketch Tuiga, skippered by Pierre Casiraghi. Jimmy explains the challenges of steering the boat and the work entailed in safely gybing Tuiga’s huge boom and gaff without a single winch on board to help. She won her division taking out the Trophee Marines de Cogolin for best Grand Tradition yacht.
Les Voiles de Saint Tropez | Final Wrap
It’s a belated farewell from the Bow Caddy Media team after another wonderful Les Voiles regatta. There are so many extraordinary regattas around the world, but amongst the world’s top sailors Les Voiles ranks consistently as the go-to, as much for the atmosphere, the people and the extraordinary classics all cheek-by-jowl in the harbour, as for the racing itself. Meantime, we’ll catch up with you again shortly with our coverage of the upcoming Rolex Middle Sea Race.
There will be more from the Bow Caddy Media team very soon...
