In the bay of Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes) the largest gathering of sailboats in the world is held.
They move on the water with the sole force of the wind. A show and a competition in which 120 boats participate in the bay of Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes). Giants of the seas under full sail, while the crews seek to catch a breeze that is rare on this dream body of water. Very old sailboats, a respected tradition for these royal regattas. “It’s typically the fact of having traditional boats, of not give in to the sirens of modernity”confides Jean-François Cutugno, president of the Cannes yacht club.
The regattas will continue until the end of the week
Racing sailboats alongside more comfortable boats, intended at the time for family cruises. The Orienta has four bedrooms, a lounge-library entirely decorated in wood. Built in 1937, it weighs 76 tonnes. The regattas will continue until the end of the week. Sunday towards Saint-Tropez to enjoy the breezes and sun of the Mediterranean until the end.
