An Innovative Offshore Race Model in the Mediterranean
The CIC MED CHANNEL RACE follows the core principles of its Norman predecessor: an exclusive annual Class40 double-handed event. A demanding 1000-nautical-mile course (1852 km) that will take skippers from Marseille through a week of racing around the Var islands, to Calvi in Corsica, along the east coast of Sardinia, around the island of Palma de Mallorca, and back to Marseille. A blend of coastal racing and several offshore legs, set in breathtaking locations that promise stunning visuals. The race is scheduled at the very start of the season, with a departure from Marseille on Sunday, April 27, 2025, aiming for favorable weather conditions and good integration within the existing event calendar. With such a course and the event’s high level of competitiveness, numerous twists and turns can be expected throughout the race.
