Saint Tropez Yachting

The Mediterranean has long been a stage for epic regattas, celebrating maritime passion and heritage. In 1981, Dick and Celia Jayson, aboard their Swan 44, joined forces with Patrice de Colmont and skipper Jean Laurain to create the Nioulargue regatta in Saint-Tropez, later renamed the Voiles de Saint-Tropez in 1999. It is now the Mediterranean's premier sailing event and attracts more than 250 boats annually, a mix of classic and modern vessels.

"This is a strange sporting competition, with its own rules that only we know, but which are shared by everyone who understands that sailing is an adventure, a game and above all a pleasure." - Patrice de Colmont, founder Voiles de Saint-Tropez.

The Assouline coffee table book "Saint Tropez Yachting," created in collaboration with Patrice de Colmont, features stunning photography by Guillaume Plisson and insights from well-known sailors, capturing the essence of sailing on the French Riviera. The breathtaking book is a must-have for any sailing enthusiast.
