Richard Mille congratulates the winners of the 6th edition of les Voiles de Saint Barth.

Les Voiles de Saint Barth came to an end on 18th of April, after a week of breathtaking sailing. George David, winner of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 editions, won for a fourth time in the Maxi Yacht class. His boat, the Maxi Yacht Rambler 88, designed by architect Juan Kouyoumdjian, was launched in early December and pushes the boundaries of technology to make it a record-breaker.

As the principal sponsor of the event, Richard Mille presented the Voiles de Saint Barth trophy to George David. The children of the YB Afraid Foundation (created by Yohan Blake, Jamaican sprinter and brand partner of Richard Mille, which helps improve the lives and security of young Jamaicans) presented the winner with the ultimate prize – a Richard Mille RM 60-01 Regatta Flyback Chronograph. This automatic watch has been conceived and designed for open sea racing and is has a titanium rotating bezel with integral compass.

The week of competition also saw the team on board Sorcha, owned by Peter Harrison, CEO Richard Mille Europe, Middle East and Africa; take an honorable second place in the CSA Spinnaker 0 class. This boat was easily recognizable by its sublime spinnaker sporting a line-drawing of the RM 60-01 Regatta.

As principal partner of Les Voiles since its first edition, Richard Mille is delighted to be associated with its renewed success which further establishes the brand’s importance in the nautical world. The brand has already confirmed its role as principal partner for the 7th edition in 2016.
