200 classic yachts to descend on Cannes

There are already a good number of sailing events in Cannes, but the upcoming Cannes Régates Royales in September will probably cap them all. It will feature 100 year-old yachts - some up to 50 meters long - in a spectacular regatta. The bay at Cannes is almost perfect for this, as it is wide and features a number of islands. It is, however, noted for its unpredictable wind changes.

The Régates Royales – Panerai Trophy - will be held from September 24th until October 1st. For more information, a spectator's guide and some tasty photos of the yachts, visit Régates Royales.
