Very nice! Perhaps someone will do something similar for the classic yacht regattas coming up in the UK this summer?

 

[KristiferColumbus]

I wonder if that job in McDonalds is still going?

Cheers, Dylan, roll on Spring!

just imagine being so affluent that you can pay some-one to polish your winches

I presume that all these boats have almost permanent shiprights and staff

I'd like to be affluent enough to own a winch..

 

[Yacht Yogi]

Glorious

Just wonderful. So when I win the lottery (never actually bought a ticket) or become a banker and get a nice bonus for failure I now know just what to do.

In the meantime we can look forward this summer to our own J-Class regatta, 12 Metre championships and the Panerai Classic Regatta. Well its not St Trop but Southampton is fine in shorts if you don't mind goose-bumps and you can get pink fizzy in Tesco and try not to notice Fawley refinery while sitting at a picnic table sipping it in the drizzle.

Watched it earlier with the Mrs. What a lovely film. Thanks for sharing the link.

I was shocked to remember that it was almost 25 years ago that I was in St Tropez last. Where did all the years go ?

 

[Applescruffs]

A Million Miles away.......

Not for me I'm afraid....I've never wanted or lusted over this kind of stuff......or big, thirsty Italian, supercars etc.....A Citroen 2CV.....and a 19' boat...that's my world....We are all different.....and thank G*d .....and the planet that I am !

[Croak]

But, did you like the music?

 

[Twister_Ken]

You can follow the races on the water in tripper boats. Not expensive. You get up close too. I only had a still camera with me,though.

Loved this pile of lines, maybe halyards?

I didn't see you

We were a group of bikers. You'd know if you'd seen us

The Midlands > St Tropez in two days. Then it was Now it would be Oh to be young and stupid again!

 

[LittleSister]

I liked the last piece of music.

The music in the film is apparently:

Örsten - Fleur Blanche
Temper Trap - Sweet disposition
Brigitte Bardot - Un jour comme un autre

Really? The same French referred to in these couple of snips from another thread?

..better keep your sat nav speed camera thingies OFF as well..
..bloke just been fined 1700 euros (Midi-Pyrenees I believe)on the spot.
Apparently they detected sat nav pre-warning, pulled em over and found the sat nav hidden in the wife's handbag.....

Sat nav camera warning use is since Jan 2012 illegal in France
