Tomorrow, Thursday 1 October, the centenarian yachts will take centre stage in the bay of Saint-Tropez. Close to twenty yachts will start the 15th edition of the Gstaad Yacht Club Centenary Trophy, organised with the Société Nautique de Saint-Tropez as part of Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez. On the programme: a pursuit race in which the crews will have to make the most of a north to north-easterly wind forecast at 3 to 6 knots. In these light conditions, every gust can change the picture and reopen the battle right to the final metres, in front of the Tour du Portalet. This Wednesday, 30 September, the Gstaad Yacht Club will open the celebrations ashore with the fourth edition of the Swiss Night, held on the Place des Lices.
