Régates de Nice

Régates de Nice is a sailing contest for a prize called TROPHÉE PASQUI. This is a traditional meeting for all the boats from Mediteranean Sea. It started in 2004 and the name of the prize is the name of a well known navy carpenter - Gilbert Pasqui.
This contest usually happens every year in September and the prize is awarded by a competent board of specialists. Michel Badia made an extraordinary photo of a boat in this event. The landscape and the perfect twilight timing were incredibly good chosen. Maybe this picture above explains the poetry of any boat owner.

The winner of 2015 contest was Serenade, a boat build in 1938 in USA. This boat has a Hollywood story, one of its owners being Humphrey Bogart at a certain moment in the past.
