For this first leg, the Formula 18 catamarans start in front of Erquy's harbor and finish at the Men Joliguet tower at Bréhat island, on the other side of Saint Brieuc bay. The distance between those two points is only about 20nm, but the catamarans, to comply with their navigation zone must stay close to the coast.

For Bréhat island, the luggages will be partly transported by the boats of Bréhat vessel company so the weight is limited (2 bags of 15kg and 2 self erecting tents per boat. The weights will be checked). Luggage in excess will be transported in another van directly to Perros-Guirec were you can find them the next day. Your bags must be solid and stay closed.
