DEAUVILLE WEEK WELCOMES SPORTSBOATS

The creativeness of the architects and yards is unreserved about this subject and numerous series have appeared in France and in Europe: Open 7.50, Open 6.50, Speed Feet 18, Laser SB 3, Open 5.70…..

Again very recently, two new series have been developed: the Longtze, on an idea from the French ‘Défi’ team in the America’s Cup and the K.6.50, thought up by the Karver Company in Honfleur, which has already made a great breakthrough in top of the range deck hardware on some great ocean racing craft.

The great events play host to these fine fleets, which are always numerous and very lively, like the hundred or so SB3s at Cowes Week or the 140 craft expected this year in the Grand Prix de l’Ecole Navale, innovatory in this domain.

In this way, this new request reinforces the range of craft welcomed to Deauville Week alongside other one designs and IRC fleets.

And this new clientele shouldn’t be lacking in combativeness on the race zone!

Reminder of the dates: 28th May/ 1st June 2008.
