Editorial
Hello,
|
I would like to thank the many persons
who attended the General Assembly
of the Association Fête du
Vent et de la Mer on January
29th at "l'Abri du Marin" in Plouhinec. |
|
Due to the success of la Route de l'Amitié,
the organisation of the Association
is going to be strongly restructured
to distribute the
responsibilities even better,
so new appointments took place
at the meeting. Additionally,
the dates for la Route de l'Amitié 2011 are in the process
of being decided. |
|
To learn more about it, I invite you to read the meeting report
which will be soon published on this
site and to watch as soon as
now the GA video.
|
Fair wind and see you soon.
|

La Fête du vent et de la Mer
|
The association Fête du Vent et de la Mer came
into being on 17th November 1995.
The main objective was to be forward-looking and progressive, whilst
preserving traditions which are the richness
of the Brittany patrimony.
|
 |
|
It organised the first Route de l’Amitié on 5th July 1998.
|
|
The association put in place a solid organisation with notably the obligation for harbours wishing to welcome the event to comply with a quality charter.
|
|
Resources dedicated to assistance and safety all along the Route are provided by about 30 boats.
|
|
Public and private partners support the event, and the Media promote La Route through their features, articles and reports.
|
|
Volunteers on whom La Route de l’Amitié relies, number about 800. Without them and our partners, La Route would simply not exist.

The "Route de l’Amitié"
|
Organised by the association Fête du Vent et de la
Mer, the Route de l’Amitié is a week of coastal cruising and festivities
where the true meaning of friendship, conviviality and
comradeship of the sea is realised ...
|
 |
The fleet is limited to 160 boats, which means more than 750 crew members, due to the limited capacity of some of the harbours en route.
Its uniqueness comes from the great diversity of sail-boats which participate - including pretty much every type of craft from old gaff riggers, through yawls to modern pleasure yachts.
|
|
Registrations take into account not only boats' aesthetics, but also the human quality of the crews.
|
|
You are able to register on this site, but please note that the number of places is limited by the capacity of the harbours visited.
