Carnac is situated on Quiberon Bay where we had a wonderful first RS Aero World Championship in 2017. It will be fantastic to revisit France's Atlantic coast and YC Carnac at one of France's most cherished seaside towns. Great coastal racing, a fantastic beach, fine dining and a lovelly French seaside town!
The late June date fits with our other main events in 2024 and will hopefully enable Youth who have finished exams to join. The Fri-Mon schedule will assist Brits with affordable ferry crossings by avoiding the weekend and holiday period peak rates.
Racing will be scheduled to start late on Friday and finish early on Monday,
enabling overnight ferries and minimising the holiday days required for those that need to.
We will share the event with a few other RS Classes, which will all add to the fun.

Getting There
By Air
Paris (CDG or ORY) are the largest International Airports in the region and are 5 hours drive, severed by Autoroute or good train connections. Lorient (LRT), Nantes (NTE), Rennes (RNS) and Brest (BES) also all have International flights and are closer.
By Sea
For UK travellers the main ferry routes to chose from to get to Brittany are;
Portsmouth – St Malo, Caen, Le Harve & Cherbourg which are between 2.5 and 4 hours drive to Carnac. There is also Poole-Cherbourg.
For those in the west UK and from the M5, a Plymouth-Roscoff ferry is an option. Roscoff is 2.5 hours drive to Carnac.
For those in the east UK, a Dover-Calais ferry or the Channel Tunnel is cheaper and Carnac is still just a 7 hour drive.

As Carnac is such a popular holiday destination, there is loads of accommodation of all types and prices (19 hotels, 16 camp sites, 16 guest houses).
