Classic Yachts
This playground of the rich and famous will play host for the 26th year to "Les Voiles de St. Tropez," a classic event that gathers the most extraordinary modern sailing boats alongside the most beautiful traditional yachts, as sailors from all over the world come together to do battle in the Mediterranean's most glamorous bay. Host Shirley Robertson hitches a ride on board some of the world's most iconic yachts and attempts to find out what makes them "classics".
Reporting from Genoa in a world exclusive, Robertson chats to Alinghi team boss Ernesto Bertarelli as she drives the new Alinghi 5, the defender of the America's Cup. Also, in a report from the Perini Navi Cup in Sardinia, boat builders and skippers of the most glamorous luxury yachts on the planet explain what makes their machines the classics of the future.
