Monaco Classic Week  "La Belle Classe" 12 - 16 September 2007

What a beautiful sight ! 70  sailing and motor classic boats, among them 40 sailing yachts and the imposing steam-boat SS Delphine...

The 8th edition of Monaco Classic Week was notable for its adhesion to the values developed at the heart of the Club "La Belle Classe" : honouring and passing on our heritage, respect for etiquette and a certain art of living, and preservation of the environment.

"Yachting, and most particularly the traditional yachting world, is a family, with its codes and its histories. Every gathering is a big celebration, every absence is noted with emotion, every newcomer is welcomed with joy", declared HSH Prince Albert II, President of the Yacht Club de Monaco.

On board of the motor-yacht SS Delphine, in the presence of HSH Prince Albert II, Philip Plisson - prize-winner in 2003-  presented Dr Jean-Louis Etienne with the Personality of the Sea 2007 trophy.
Mercury - 15.75m marconi sloop - was rewarded Monaco Classic Week Trophy; Ilona of Kylesky - 1907 28m motor-yacht owned by the Duke of Westminster - was presented with the Prize of Elegance...

Member of the jury, Philip Plisson has taken photos of the regattas, on board of SS Delphine and Eleonora.
