This is sport, performance and futurism in its wonderful XXL version, with the Maxis reflecting the very best there is in terms of naval architecture from the past decades, fittingly sailed by the most top-flight international crews who include Olympic champions and America’s Cup skippers. No fewer than 45 yachts measuring 20 to 40 metres will begin racing in the bay tomorrow, split into 4 separate groups. Two of these groups, IR1 and IR2, group together the Super Maxis with a waterline length of between 80 (24 m) and as much as 100 feet, like the Swan 115 Odin (35 metres). It’s in these same groups that some of the stars of Les Voiles will hit the racetrack, namely the two J Classes, Velsheda (Nicholson 1933) and Topaz, a 1935 Frank Paine design launched in Holland in 2015. Three fabulous Wallys will also be doing battle: Magic Carpet Cubed, a familiar sight at Les Voiles, the Wally 100 Y3K and the Wally 107 Green Eyes, ex Kauris III. Equally, two massive offshore record hunters, Comanche and Rambler will grace the scene. Very cloudy sky, clearing fully. Credit Ilona Barna BIPHOTONEWS, Alamy Live News,
