The SNSM record week
|
| Saint Nazaire - Saint Malo - Saint Nazaire |
| Created three years ago, the annual rendez-vous for the SNSM Record (French equivalent of the British RNLI) will take place
from 20th to 25th June. It will comprise a new course this year since the start and finish will be located in Saint Nazaire.
Twice the distance for twice the number of tacks amongst the superb rocks dotted along the Breton coast. A little game which
requires good control of your boat and great navigation skills...

Two minutes for a victory
An incredible finish for the 60 foot trimarans in 2007! On the finish line moored off Saint Malo, solely a few boat lengths
and just two minutes separated Pascal Bidégorry's winning crew from that of Franck Cammas.
Beaten last year, Franck
and his crew will be keen to win it, as they are each time they take the start of a race.
The absolute record
for the event between St Nazaire and St Malo has been held since August 2006 by Yvan Bourgnon, who completed the course
aboard Brossard in 13hr 26min 49sec, at an average of over 21 knots.
