The RS500s are off to France for their 2014 Worlds from 5-8 August.

Le cercle nautique de Loctudy, Brittany has confirmed that they will be offering competitors free sailings on board an ocean crossing trimaran and on a brand new Nacra catamaran with foils on Monday 4 August.

Also, Vincent Riou, winner of Vendee Around the Globe, who will be competing in the event, will entertain us with a talk on one evening.
