Les Voiles du Vieux-Port 2021

Les Voiles du Vieux-Port is the regatta for traditional sailing boats in the harbor of Marseille, in front of the Marseille City Hall.

This regatta includes Marseille in the circuit of the prestigious meetings of the classic yachting in the Mediterranean and becomes the inevitable nautical event before the summer... For 4 days these boats will race in the bay of Marseille. At nightfall they will join the wharf until the following morning: visitors will be able to admire the brass, masts, bridges and varnishes of classic yachts.

The preservation of the history of Yachting and the international maritime heritage is what motivated the yacht clubs involved to create this special event for classic yachts. The yachts participating in this regatta were built between the second half of the 19th century and the end of the 20th century:

• "Vintage" Yachts built in wood or metal, launched before December 31, 1949, respect the spirit of their original plans.
• "Classic" Yachts built of wood or metal, launched before December 31, 1975.
• "Spirit of Tradition" Yachts built from 1970 using modern techniques and materials, but with a look and style faithful to a traditional or classic project.
