Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez
Location :
Saint-Tropez
About the shot :
Since 40 years when the Nioulargue was created, it always attracted the most beautiful yachts in the world, would they be actually racing or not. Now called Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez since 25 years, it remains the same and the 2023 edition did not fail to its roots. The giant three masts shooner Adix (64,85 m, Arthur Hogate design, 1984) and the schooner Sylvana (formerly named Orion, Camper & Nicholson 1910, 43,5 m) were not specifically racing in the event but have been sailing nearly every day near the race courses for the pleasure of their guests and to please the public. Here they took opportunity of a nice 20 knots breeze to sail side by side on the same course, Adix passing Sylvana very close to leeward. A magical moment blessed by the unique early fall light of Saint-Tropez.
