Normandy Tour Announcement
Published 16:05 on 22 Nov 2024
Were excited to announce a new event for 2025!
Recently on the alternate year to our Biscay race we have organised a Tour of the West Country which has been a great success. In 2025 it was thought that it would be worth trying a change of location keeping to shorter daytime passages to attract both racing sailors and those looking for a more relaxed rally experience.
The Normandy Tour Were proposing a week-long adventure, departing on Saturday 19th July. Well explore the charming ports of Dielette, Cherbourg, and St. Vaast La Hougue for two nights before spending two further nights in Alderney. Our final destination will be Carteret, where we hope to conclude the tour with a social gathering and prize-giving ceremony for those who will be racing.
Why Normandy?
We believe this itinerary offers a fantastic balance of sailing, exploring, and camaraderie. The shorter day passages and favourable tides make it a great option for sailors of all experience levels.
Wed like to hear your thoughts on this proposal.
Please email office@shyc.je to register your interest including your boat name, length, and draft.
Best regards,
Rhys Perkins, Bob de la Haye and David de Carteret.
