There will be a few innovations this year throughout the race. Yes it is possible!

The first one will happen on the first stage of the race from Guernsey on route to Cherbourg. What is the most magical way you can imagine to sail through the famous ‘Raz Blanchard'? Well, we have chosen to sail between the island of Alderney and Burhou to then take the ‘monkey path' before being swallowed up by the Raz Blanchard current which can reach up to 7 or 8 knots around Alderney! A strong and intense experience that any sailor wants to experiment at least once in their life.

Once you have managed to sail through this difficult phase, we will naturally focus on the arrival. The last stage of the race will allow you to sail round the islands of Chausey before ending in the outstanding conditions of the port of Granville. A true view and landscape, shown in every nautical magazine, which you will experience for real during this race.

In order to spice up the race, we will even take the opportunity to sail through the islands of Rimains along Cancale before reaching Chausey.

Dearest sailors, this is an ideal race made to measure for you!

However, the excitement of this regatta should not make you forget about all the entertainments and joy of each stop-over evening dos on shore.

This is also what the Tour des Ports la Manche is all about!
