The Raid Quiberon, set from September 4 to 7, an integral part of the exciting ETF26 Series, has just kicked off, bringing with it a wave of enthusiasm from both sailing enthusiasts and competitors. Hosted by the Association of Nautical Sports of Quiberon (ASNQ), this event is a key spectacle in the sailing calendar, showcasing exceptional skill and fierce competition. Here’s what you need to know.
Diverse Fleet
The event is renowned for its inclusion of the elite ETF26 catamarans—where champions and the best of the best compete. These high-performance vessels are a main attraction, known for their speed and agility. Additionally, the Raid is embracing modern sailing trends by featuring emerging disciplines such as Kitefoil, Wingfoil, and Windfoil, signaling ASNQ’s commitment to evolving with the sport and offering a platform for these exciting new categories.
Star Competitors
While the simultaneous occurrence of the Olympic Games and the America’s Cup means some usual competitors will be absent, the Raid Quiberon will still feature notable sailors. Local hero Tim Mourniac will be making an appearance fresh from his recent Olympics, alongside Rupert White, a distinguished member of the British Olympic team. Their participation is sure to add a layer of prestige and intense competition to the event.
