Loro Piana Giraglia 2026 Day 3

SAINT-TROPEZ, FRANCE, 15 June 2026 – Racing at the 73rd Loro Piana Giraglia continued today with a superb third day of inshore competition in Saint-Tropez. The morning began under almost complete cloud cover and light breeze, but shortly before the 1000 warning signal the sky began to break and an almost perfect 14 knot north-easterly breeze filled into the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. The conditions created an excellentcoastal race for Groups 1 and 2 with the bay festooned with colourful spinnakers in glorious sunshine. The Bay of Pampelonne the offshore breeze produced a first-class windward leeward racecourse for the Maxi fleet. Today the Maxis in Group 0 were once again set technical courses but this time in Zone 3, set far enough offshore to reduce the effects of the land, the Maxis enjoyed a well-balanced technical race track in more settled breeze. The Loro Piana Giraglia is organised by Yacht Club Italiano in collaboration with Société Nautique de Saint-Tropez, under the guidance of the Federazione Italiana Vela and the Fédération Française de Voile.
