Date: On Friday
Distance: 30nm
On this third day, the Costarmoricaine head back eastward for what is the longest leg of the raid. In the past, it has even ended at dusk due to lack of wind. In fact, there is often an intermediate finish at Loguivy, to bring the fleet together. Although part of the course is the same as the previous day's in reverse, this course is generally downwind and gives you the opportunity to sail relatively far off the coast to Les Héaux-de-Bréhat. After passing the foot of the Plouha cliffs, the highest in Brittany, the Formule 18s will arrive this year in Plérin, where they will be welcomed by the Centre Nautique Municipal de Plérin, a partner of the event for several years. In previous years, this stage ended in St-Quay-Portrieux, the leg is 5nm longer.
