In 2001 three friends conceived a grand 21st century sailing tradition for classic yachts – a rally of special friends, old and new.
Covering some 680 miles from Saint-Tropez to Grand Harbour Marina in Malta, and visiting four of the most exotic ports in the Mediterranean, this event is the Trophée Bailli du Suffren.
The Mediterranean’s most beautiful yacht race is also its longest race for classic yachts. Now in its 16th edition, the Trophée Bailli du Suffren is run over three legs:
Leg 1: Saint-Tropez to Porto Rotondo, Sardinia (193nm)
Leg 2: Porto Rotondo, Sardinia to Palermo, Sicily (252nm)
Leg 3: Palermo, Sicily to Grand Harbour, Malta (233nm)
