Yacht Racing Forum 2018 in France

The Yacht Racing Forum, the leading annual conference for the business of sailing and yacht racing, will have its 2018 edition take place on October 22-23 in Brittany, in the town of Lorient, at the heart of the mythical Sailing Valley©, one of the world’s most dynamic sailing and yacht racing destinations, right before the famous Route du Rhum.

“It is no result of chance this fantastic event will take place in our region,” reports Loïg Chesnais-Girard, President of the Regional Council. “From boat design to welcoming the best sailors and organizing great races, Brittany offers a range of unique know-how and cutting edge advanced technologies, recognized across the industry, including yachting, aeronautics and marine renewables. The 11th edition of the Yacht Racing Forum is the opportunity to showcase this Sailing Valley© to the global community of actors in competitive sailing.”

The dates of the Yacht Racing Forum 2018 are changed to October 22-23 in order to fit in with the international sailing calendar and allow delegates to visit the Race village of the Route du Rhum, in Saint-Malo.
