Kurt Arrigo took these magnificient images of the Classic yachts at Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez.

Today a total of 18 different challenges were sailed today, with each challenge team responsible for setting their own start time, course and final results.

The Challenge Day will have no effect on overall regatta results; today's racing was all in the spirit of tradition and in the name of good fun, an essential part of Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez.
