Tuiga sets sail for Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez

The Yacht Club de Monaco's flagship yacht, Tuiga, built in 1909, has returned to the Mediterranean race circuit after participating in events on the United States East Coast, including celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence. The centenarian 15M IR yacht will compete in the 28th Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez from September 28 to October 4, organized by the Société Nautique de Saint-Tropez, where 253 boats are expected, including 80 classic sailing yachts. Under the initiative of YCM Vice-President Pierre Casiraghi, a Monegasque crew with diverse competitive backgrounds will sail Tuiga to uphold high performance standards.
