Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez
Late Sep-early Oct· Saint-Tropez, France
Yachting Superyacht Helicopter
Why the circuit stops here
The Mediterranean season’s elegant last dance: classic J-Class yachts and modern maxis race the same bay, then raft up in the old port for a week of crews-and-owners parties.
The money signal
Restoring a classic J-Class to racing condition costs more than building a new superyacht, and they race them.

How they arrive

- Short-hop helicopter transfers beat the road traffic. This stop is built around its helipads.
