For its 3th edition, the Club Nautique de la Marine in Toulon and Twelve Med Events will be organising from 7 to 10 May 2026 the «Toulon Provence Regatta 2026», 400 years of the French Navy«.
This regatta will enable Classic and Metric class yachts (2.4 mR to 12 mJI) to sail coastal courses in the Toulon harbour and along the coast of the TPM metropolitan area.
The public will be able to admire these fine sailing ships alongside the quayside, as well as sailing ships and boats of heritage interest, which will be gathered together in the eastern part of the Old Dock in the Port of Toulon over the 4 days.
This organisation will start from 6 May for registering and welcoming crews to Toulon, who will then discover the harbour on 7 May during training runs.
The official regatta will take place from 8 to 10 May in front of the Mourillon beaches.
For this exceptional event, we are looking for volunteers to help organise the regatta on land and at sea.
So we're looking for volunteers :
From 5 to 11 May, the organisers need volunteers ashore for administrative and logistical tasks, registering and welcoming crews, coordinating the regatta ashore, managing visits, running school morning workshops, commentating on the regatta from the terraces of Fort St Louis, welcoming partners at social events, volunteers for the day of free baptisms and nautical activities and the «Battleboats».
At sea, we need sailboat and RIB owners to help secure the race area and meet press requirements, as well as crew members to accompany them.
We have opened online registration. People wishing to volunteer for the Toulon Provence Regatta 2026, are invited to Register on this page.
