In June 2026, Saint-Tropez will once again become the international capital of offshore sailing during one of the most iconic weeks of the Mediterranean racing calendar: the Loro Piana Giraglia.

The Nuncas Marine Sailing Team will take part in the event aboard the high-performance Beneteau First 36, competing in the coastal races before facing the legendary offshore course from Saint-Tropez to the Giraglia Rock and finally Genoa.
