Tomorrow, 47 sailors (25 solo and 11 double handed) will line up for the start of a 340 nautical mile race course, the full course will take the fleet from the start line in Concarneau, north west along the Brittany coastline to the formidable Chaussée de Sein, and the familiar turning mark of ‘Pierres Vertes’ a 135 degree turn south takes the fleet back to the Raz, this time around the outside of the tidal race before a tactical decision of whether to go inshore or offshore with the course taking the fleet inside Belle Ile before rounding Ile d’Yeu (an island off the coast of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie) before a final sprint leg north to the finish line in Concarneau. |
