Sur le plan d’eau des classiques, le spectacle était ailleurs, mais l’intensité la même. En Big Boat, Mark Dixon (Elena of London) a signé une belle deuxième place, derrière Cambria. Une semaine menée tambour battant, où la goélette a retrouvé sa superbe. Argynne III s’impose en Classique Marconi A après une régate exemplaire, tandis que Angelo Mazzarella (Carron II) prend la 6e place Epoque Marconi A. En Grand Tradition, Carlo Falcone et Mariella accrochent la 6e place, toujours fidèles à leur style sobre et efficace. Enfin, Kostia Belkin hisse le plan Fife Viola sur le podium en Époque Aurique A, à la 3e place, confirmant une saison remarquable pour le voilier centenaire.

The 27th Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez concluded after a full-on week of racing, with crews experiencing hesitant breezes, choppy waters and tight starts. Yacht Club de Monaco members more than held their own, often in the vanguard and always in with a chance.
