Every year in October the small seaside resort of Saint Tropez hosts the best known of classic yachts.
Vessels over 20 meters, some being a centenary old, drawn by leading naval architects, as Herreshoff or Fife, moored next to each other along the quay of honor, overwhelmed by the evening light. During the day, in the midst of varnished wooden poles, the most beautiful modern racing boats are racing in the bay. The principle of the regatta was invented around the challenge of Ikra, a "classic" 12M, and Swan Pride in 1981: a classic sailboat against a modern sailboat. Departure from St. Tropez, around the buoy Nioulargue off the bay and back. The challenges are getting into the week, each ship sailing in its class. The "day challenges" takes place on Thursday, ended with a parade of the crews on the docks, adorning themselves with disguises more eccentric than each other. Buabunda, Italian racing sailboat 15 meters, was no exception to the rule of challenges during the infamous 1995 Nioulargue.
