Coming up on November 14 and 15 in Saint-Tropez!

Following Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez and the Cape 31 Gold Cup, the team at the Société Nautique de Saint-Tropez is once again preparing to welcome a impressive fleet for Les Voiles d’Automne on November 14 and 15, 2026, with nearly 70 sailboats competing!

Established in 1997 and open to sailboats with an Osiris or IRC rating certificate, this fall regatta in Saint-Tropez attracts many competitors from the region and beyond. Fall in the Mediterranean generally offers rougher conditions with stronger winds—a treat for participants eager for thrills and speed.
The location, the friendly atmosphere ashore, and the organization at sea make this an unmissable event of the season.

Weather permitting, the regattas will begin at 11:00 AM on Saturday, November 14th and Sunday, November 15th in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, with the awards ceremony at 5:00 PM. More than 350 crew members will gather after the races to enjoy some festive moments.

With a high-quality fleet and regular podium finishers, the competition promises to be intense.

Another great competition to follow in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez!

Nearly seventy sailboats registered: the quota has been reached!
With about ten days to go before the event, the seventy applications received far exceed the expected number. Registration is now closed to ensure the best possible experience for the crews.

In the IRC class, formidable competitors will be on the starting line, such as BIM 3, Jérémy Combe’s Farr 30, which will defend its 2025 title against strong opponents including BERNINA X, COLETTE, ECBATANE, FLORA, JARO, MAQUIS, MIDI VOILES, MOOGLI, OLD BROTHERS, SAVANNAH, XANTUS, ZAPPY S, and newcomers to the race—not to be overlooked—including the crews of FLOWER POWER, GIOGIO, and OSCAR!

For the fifth year, the event is also hosting a fleet of crewed First 31.7s. A total of twelve First 31.7s will be on the starting line, including the 2025 winner, ELEA, skippered by Danielle Vanhove; PROCYON VILLE DE SAINT MANDRIER, skippered by Guy Gorzerino (2024 winner); and SAGAI, skippered by Dominique Lexa. (2022 and 2023 winner). The one-design race will be highly competitive, with new contenders in this class such as CURIEUSE, MAX, and TABOO…

In the Osiris groups, divided into three classes, we’ll find the race favorites, including in the OSA group: L’AUTRE FEMME with Lionel Michon, LA MICHE with Maggie Kolodiege, and others.

In the larger OSB group, we’ll find, among others, MIKALA with Serge Ehrhardt, OVERDOSE NEO with Sylvain Bretagne (winner of Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez in IRC 4), BLACK MAGIC with Cesar Chuffart—a regular on the podium—and others.

TEAM CAPTAIN NASON S, skippered by Christelle Renaud; TIKI TOO, skippered by Joel Seckler and Alexandre Brion; and many other crews, including quite a few regulars and a few newcomers…

In the OSC group of small sport boats, the competition will also be fierce among regulars such as Jean-Claude Bertrand’s BLISS, Fréderic Peroche’s FALABRAC, MACAYA with Marc Pons, FILE O VENT II with Pierrick Gelle, and MOTIVES 2 with Philippe Peyraverney, pitted against newcomers to this event such as PRESTO, a Figaro 2, and WHY NOT, a First 30, among others.
