The FAST40+ Class will be competing this week for the One Ton Cup, created by the Cercle de la Voile de Paris (CVP – Paris Yacht Club) in 1899.
The 2019 edition will be sailed in France for the first time since 2002, hosted by La Société des Régates du Havre. This year is the 120th anniversary of the first regatta, with the One Ton Cup returning to France, where it all began.
Racing starts on Thursday 19th September with four days of action concluding on Sunday 22nd September.
“The owner driven hi-tech race boats, with pro-am teams, will compete in up to ten races.PRO Stuart Childerley has the option of organising short sharp windward leeward races longer and round the buoys courses. Social events are part and parcel of the FAST40+ Class with après sailing gatherings, a regatta dinner at the famous La Société des Régates du Havre clubhouse, and the presentation of the world famous One Ton Cup to the winning team.” – Louay Habib from Sail-world.
