This annual 600 mile, first and only offshore long distance classic yacht race was the brainchild of three friends Henri- Christian Schroder, Christian Benoit and Pierre Hugo. The Trophee Bailli de Suffren commemorates Saint-Tropez’s sailor and warrior, Admiral Pierre André de Suffren de Saint Tropez.

Camper & Nicholsons Marinas has always had a strong interest in this stunning race as Christian Benoit, President of Marenostrum Racing Club explains, “We have appreciated Camper & Nicholsons Marinas’ interest in the past. Now, with their headline sponsorship, we have no doubt that they will help develop the legacy event and we’re sure that not only will the very special character of the race be preserved but it will now move up to the next level.”
