Description
"Les Voile" is certainly one of Saint-Tropez�s greatest events. This annual regatta began during September of 1981. One day two boats called �Pride� and �Ikra� challenged each other to a fun race. The start of the coastal course was at Saint-Tropez�s Tour du Portalet and the finish at Club 55's private beach at Pampelonne bay where Patrice de Colmont presented an improvised �Club 55 Cup� to the winner. More friends joined in the challenge the next year and the event was born. Patrice de Colmont created the famous �Nioulargue� in the family spirit. Now each year for a week in late September into early October nearly 300 sail boats join together to make an incredible sight as they race in Les Voiles des Saint-Tropez. This classic wooden boat is heading into port after a full day of sailing. The late afternoon sun adds drama to the sky and sails.
