The Classic Channel Regatta
25 June -
2 July 2011

The “Coupe des 2 Phares” is a definitive Classic Yachts sailing competition.

Yacht Club Classique has an intensive classic yacht racing calendar for 2011.

The extremes of crossing the Atlantic Ocean will be experienced by crews competing in the upcoming Transatlantic Race 2011. This adventure challenge, which aims to add 2,975 nautical miles to its participants’ log books, starts off in Newport, R.I. (on Sunday, June 26; Wednesday, June 29; and Sunday, July 3) and expects to greet its first finisher off Lizard Point in South Cornwall (UK) sometime in mid-July.
Sasha, the beautiful 42’ Olin Stephens design, takes part, skippered by Albrecht Peters, crewed by Erika Peters, Chris Beech, and Ron Mellon, all S&S Association members.
Follow the race online from 26 June, when the “Race Player Application” will be made available to the public. Click here

Experiencing the roughest weather conditions of any yacht in the Transatlantic Race 2011, Sasha, skippered by Albrecht and Erika Peters (Munich, Germany), crossed the finish line at The Lizard at 20:10 UTC on 17 July. At sea for over 22 days, the husband and wife team sailed their 1970 Sparkman and Stephens-designed wooden yacht with another couple, Christine Beech and Ron Melton of Picton, New Zealand. With Sasha’s finish, all 26 of the yachts which left Newport, R.I. over the course of three staggered starts have now successfully completed the Transatlantic Race 2011. Click here for more info

Tregor
Classique Challenge
8 - 10 July
2011

Olivier Beau, the chef d'equipe in France for the Classic Channel Regatta, invites you to the Tregor Classique Regatta, which he also organises. The Tregor Classique is a 3 day regatta held at Trebeurden (north of Lannion) on the weekend following the end of the Classic Channel Regatta. As there is free berthing in the marina at Trebeurden for the week beforehand, you could consider heading that way from Guernsey straight after the end of the Classic Channel Regatta - that is if you are lucky (or canny) enough not to have to go back to work that week!
