Water sports events Brittany

The roadstead of Brest is the ideal place to learn to sail in Brittany. Youenn Creach is an experienced sailor who welcomes you aboard his magnificent boat for a week or a half-day of sailing. It is a sailing school approved by the French Sailing Federation. Whatever your level, you will progress during immersive courses. This association also offers sport and health sessions, team building, thematic courses (navigation on a map) and support for the organization of nautical events.

No less than 80 maritime events are offered in Brest harbor every year! There is always a competition to follow, a departure of giants of the seas for a round-the-world trip, a crossing. There is something for everyone: from kayaking to windsurfing, from optimist to surfing, you will enjoy it. The roadstead of Brest offers you everything you could hope for in the maritime field. Let's not forget that during these activities you are not safe from meeting dolphins.

Brest: a nautical city! It is therefore obvious that in this city you can attend extraordinary maritime events and Brest Atlantic is one of them. It is a non-stop transatlantic crewed race, lasting 25 days. Its first edition took place in November 2019 and saw the victory of Franck Camas and Charles Caudrelier. Covered by the media, there is no doubt that this race will be one of the most anticipated offshore races. This is another great opportunity to come and visit the city of Ponant.

If there is a colourful charity event, it is this one! Every summer, these nautical jousts see costumed participants representing about twenty communes of the Auray region compete on the Saint-Goustan lake. It is therefore a dynamic and good-natured event that you can attend, and which takes place throughout the day. Beyond a friendly and unusual event, the aim is to raise funds for CCAS and local associations, in favour of children in difficult social or medical situations.

In the 1980s, with the first Tornado, Dart or the famous Hobie Cat, so characteristic with their coloured sails and their "banana" hulls, the sport catamaran became a legend. In 1988, the Catagolfe d'Arradon was created, the first of a long series of multihull raids and regattas. Since then, with the support of the Société des régates de Vannes and its partners, the Catagolfe d'Arradon has become one of the main sport catamaran regattas in France and one of the top three in Europe.
