DIARY ENTRY<br />

Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez is a far cry from the other regattas.<br />

The boats are the focus, without a doubt, but not the sailing of<br />

them. It’s their mystique and allure that draws in the crowds<br />

when they’re tied up in harbour. Throngs of tourists wearing the<br />

same striped polo, bought for a small fortune, are packed like<br />

festival-goers all craning their necks for a glimpse. It’s the image of<br />

yachting culture that’s celebrated by the onlookers, and for the first<br />

time all year it’s the rest of the world looking in on our fishbowl.<br />

What a fishbowl we live in! M.O.<br />
