LA RÉGATE
THE “RACE”, AT THE ORIGINS OF THE EDHEC CRUISE RACE
Historical heart of the event, the “Race,” formerly known as the “Sea Trophy,” is the first European student regatta. This competition has been thrilling hundreds of French and international crews for 58 years now. If some aim to come first, others see it as an opportunity to discover the discipline in an atmosphere that is as competitive as it is friendly.
Attentive to ensuring that the EDHEC Cruise Race remains a beautiful sporting event, the French Sailing Federation is committed to supporting the teams in the success of this project, an asset to be a sporting reference.
Each year, the competition invites amateurs and experienced skippers to push themselves on challenges that some legendary athletes such as Eric Tabarly and Alain Colas, or, more recently, François Gabart, Armel Le Cléac’h, and Arnaud Boissières have already faced.
