TROPHÉE: JULES VERNE - is a race with a prescribed set of rules, limited to sailing yachts, and a predetermined course. The event pitches unlimited yacht designs with unlimited crew numbers against one another at any time of the year, not as an organised race, but an event to suit the competitor. No holds barred. So improving on the speeds of previous title holders.
