The Caribbean Sea, Luxury Swiss
brand Richard Mille supported the annual Les Voiles des Saint Barth sailing tournament
– organized for the ninth time this year – in the Caribbean Sea in April. The brand
also created a specially designed trophy for the tournament’s winners.
Participants took pride in taking
part in the tournament, which comprised 53 crews in seven different classes,
showing their solidarity with their fellow sailors despite logistical
difficulties. They also did this in honor of the people who survived Hurricane
Irma in August last year.
The designer of the eponymous brand
said he had placed his trust in the participants’ endurance in taking on the
Les Voiles de Saint Barth, which embodied the triumph of the human spirit. The event
was launched in 2010.
“Now that the event has reached maturity, it has
become a major event in the Caribbean. We want to maintain its world-class
reputation to make it more attractive. Therefore, we are strengthening our
participation in solidarity with the organizers. Helping to create a successful
event is a source of a great shared pride, which builds true camaraderie,”
Richard Mile said.
