Start from Concarneau Sunday April 18th, 2010.
The 10th edition of the Transat AG2R-La Mondiale is an event organized with the participation of the City of Concarneau for the start, and the COM of St. Barths at the finish.
Course mark: Porto Santo (Madeira Archipelago).
Arriving in St. Barts is expected between May 9th and May 13th, 2010.
From the days of traditional Caribbean pirogues to the mega-yacht ‘Octopus,’ by way of the schooner ‘Ipana’ and the era of traditional wooden fishing boats, Saint Barthélemy has always had its nose to the wind and its heart belongs to the sea.
“Les Voiles de Saint Barth” wants to continue this nautical tradition, interweaving the traditional and the contemporary, a regatta with a friendly get-together.
The inspiration for “Les Voiles de Saint Barth” is to create a regatta for beautiful sailboats to navigate in our waters in a festive spirit.

Le Ti St-Barth is so old school that it looks almost new. The décor, heavy on red velvet with feathered chandeliers, looks like something you’d find on a cheesy Paris-by-Night tour.
In February 2008 36 hours of sights, sounds and tastings on St Barts were reported by The New York Times (Click for slide show).
This race started from Concarneau Sunday April 20th. It is the only double-handed transatlantic on a one-design class boat.
Jeanne Grégoire et Nicolas Lunven arrived in St. Barts May 13th at 11 AM (+16 minutes et 18 secondes), they are 5th and the winner of the male/female crew.
Over 5 days, they stayed at the Villa Triagoz for free.
One on the wonderful aspect of St Barthelemy life is the events that make this Island so unique. Every year at St Barthelemy takes place the St Barts’ Bucket Regattas. These regattas are primarily about having fun aboard the most spectacular sailing yachts ever launched, in the nicest cruising areas in the world. The Bucket provides a safe venue in which these yachts can sail to peak performance, with equal focus on winning the race and winning the party.
We could admire these spectacular sailing yatchts in the Gustavia Harbourg, all around St Barthelemy island and particularly from the sun deck of the Villa Triagoz.
The Territorial Tourism Committee of Saint Barthélemy is pleased to announce the launch of its new website.
