Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez 2026 | Day Three Photos - Maxi fleet

by Bow Caddy Media 2 Oct 21:37 BST 28 September - 6 October 2024

There was ample wind and a building sea for all of the fleets, starting off the Portalet Tower line just off the harbour.

While the Maxi fleet in general had a day off, Balthasar and Tilakkhana II challenged each other to a race. The three Js also sailed in a challenge race, but Hanuman had to retire early with a tear all the way through her genoa.

The Bow Caddy Media team managed to get around amongst most of the fleets to capture some of the action.
