Les voiles d’Antibes June 2015

Just back from Les Voiles d’Antibes which is the first major European event of the classic yachting season and the opening event of the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge. Port Vauban – Europe’s largest marina – and the coastal waters between the bay of Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, host a fleet of classic wooden yachts during the exhilarating and competitive Regatta.

Exclusive up-close access from a chase boat, shooting this fleet of legendary yachts from the 30s America’s cup.

Brass and varnished wood in abundance, our expert photographers are there to guide you to achieve amazing pictures

With his wealth of experience, our sailing professor knows exactly what the yachts are about to do and navigates expertly to ensure your camera is in prime position to capture that shot

As well as the beauty of the classic yachts, sea spray flying and the breath-taking scenery, we also enjoy the local culture

The sailing crews are happy for us to photograph them aboard these ‘ladies of the sea’ as long as we send them a photo

Sun setting and with several full memory cards, it’s time to go home
