An international fleet gathers in Cannes

摘要

Each September, for one week, the old harbor of the French town of Cannes is host to Regates Royales. This annual gathering of fine classic yachts is but one stop in a racing circuit that consumes most of the late-summer Mediterranean season. The rich and varied fleet includes all types of beautiful yachts, from a vintage Danish Folkboat, to a 100-year-old German Sonder boat, and on up to the fine cutters, sloops, and schooners of the Fifes of Scotland and the Herreshoffs of Bristol, Rhode Island.
