ince its debut year in 1996, Les

Voiles d’Antibes has been the first

major European event of the classic

yachting season for many sailing

enthusiasts, and the opening event of the

Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge for many

years. Every year, in early June, Port Vauban

• Europe’s largest marina - and the coastal
  waters between the bay of Antibes and Juan-
  les-Pins, host a fleet of legendary boats, which
  challenge each other over the five days of
  regatta and match-races.
