QBE crew members who helped sail our cutters during the 2025 Régate des Voiles de Légende in La Baule
Established by the Yacht Club of La Baule in 2002, the "Voiles de Légende" regatta has grown to become the annual flagship sailing event in the beautiful bay.
Even though the 2024 regatta attracted a record number of participants, this 22nd competition promises to be an even bigger extravaganza since classic British sailboats participating in the "Dartmouth–La Baule" race will join the 2025 Voiles de Légende fleet.
As usual, the boats also will compete in the penultimate stage of the "Manche–Atlantique Challenge Classic", organized by the Yacht Club Classique, a regular partner of the Yacht Club de La Baule.
Superbly restored and maintained by their owners, these legendary sailboats—helmed by passionate crews—will race for three days in both coastal and set-course regattas in the bay. It’s always an impressive display of old-school sailing vessels.
Most of the classic yacht fleet will be hosted at the Port of Le Pouliguen-La Baule, with the larger vessels moored at Pornichet.
29 July— Since the marina graciously agreed to host us during our stopover week between expeditions, QBE director Will Sutherland and some of our student crew members took the event sponsors and volunteers out sailing on our cutters as a way of saying thank you for everybody’s generous hospitality.
