The event is spectacular. Admire 34 sailboats over 30 metres in races around the island. The event is festive every evening on the quays where Saint Barth and tourists meet the most beautiful sailing boats in the world. The event is charitable because the organizers make donations. This year, two structures will benefit from this generosity. Help St Barth, which is rebuilding several houses destroyed by Irma and Coral Restoration Saint Barth which is fighting for the preservation and reconstruction of coral reefs.
