EVENEMENT NAUTIQUE Nautical event

Velo latino de San Troupé Les Voiles latines à Saint-Tropez

10 ans

Amateurs de voiles latines, de coutumes ancestrales et de savoirfaire en matière de bateaux traditionnels, tous, participants et spectateurs, ont été comblés durant ces journées ! La voile latine symbolise en effet la mémoire de la voile en Méditerranée, comme un témoin transmis de littoral en littoral. La voile latine est, depuis des millénaires, la voile du pointu, la barque traditionnelle du pêcheur méditerranéen, toujours soumise à rude épreuve.

All those who love lateen sails, ancestral customs and the expertise associated with classic boats, whether participant or spectator, thoroughly enjoyed these two days! For the lateen sail has come to symbolise the memory of what sailing was like in the Mediterranean, a witness passing from coast to coast down the generations. For thousands of years, the lateen sail has been used for the “pointu”, that most distinctive, traditional and feisty of the small Mediterranean fishing boats.
