The Venue

Carnac is a picturesque city in South Britany, well known for standing stones as well as a great place to sail and enjoy a vacation.

Sailing in the bay of Quiberon is protected from the Atlantic swell.

The Club

The club has a large dinghy park, dedicated ramp and convenient club house.

We have a team of professionals and volunteers that we will use to organise the event.

We have hosted many international events including the RS Europeans, Tornado World Championships, International 14 World Championships, RS Aero & Feva World Championships.

Charter Boats

European Fireball Sailors, your help is needed!

Sailors from outside Europe are keen to attend the worlds, however the cost of shipping boats in containers is currently too high.

If you have a ready-to-race Fireball and won't be using it from around 20th August until 1st September, you could help the dreams come true for many Fireball friends from overseas, such as Australia, Canada, Japan, Kenya, South-Africa or USA.

FI suggests charter fees (sails not included) of £1000 for boat numbers >15000 or £500 for boat numbers <15000.

Please note the exact amount shall be subject to each individual agreement and FI will not take any responsibility for the deals.

Ready-to-race boat available: Please mail.
