At the end of every summer, the famous village with the coloured bell tower holds a race that is unique in the world. The “Sails” is the largest gathering of sailing boats in the world. Three hundred boats sail the Bay of St Tropez to win the most prized trophy of the season, the final regatta before winter, the Holy Grail for classic yachting crews. This year we invite you to experience the race as you’ve never lived it before, aboard two emblematic yachts of the 30s, both from the drawing board of the famous Scottish designer, William Fife: Tuiga of the Monaco Yacht Club and Mariska with its Swiss crew. These two monuments of sail are the ultimate sporting boats and their identical dimensions make them close competitors. Aboard are the finest sailors of the day, constantly working their cathedrals of sail with one single objective: to cross the finishing line first.
