Atlantic, a legend emerges from obscurity With a month to go till the start, the 2010 edition of Les Voiles de Saint Tropez promises to be exceptional. In spite of the intentional restriction on the number of participants, the Société Nautique is preparing to play host to nearly 300 traditional and modern competitors, which equates to over 3,500 crew members gathering together in the bay of Saint Tropez for a week of racing and festivities. The year 2010 will be marked by the number 15: 15 countries represented, 15 registered Wallys, 15 traditional hundred year old boats on the Var region's race zone. Modern: a record number of Wallys! Combining exceptional performance, uncluttered design and unique styling, the Wallys still form one of the major attractions of Les Voiles. No less than 15 craft are registered this year, making it one of the season's largest gatherings of Wallys. Several boats launched in 2009 will be tacking about Saint Tropez for the first time: the Wally 80 Bagheera, the 90 Highland Fling and the 100 Indio, to name but a few. The suspense still reindexs unresolved as regards finding out who will succeed Y3K, winner in 2009.
