The French Sailing Federation (FFV) has recently announced the integration of Deauville International Week in the Crewed French Championship for the first time.

This championship which is raced in the Mumm 30  - a high tech 9.40m yacht – brings together the best French crews and groups them into a single ranking in the Tour de France à la Voile and three other events along the Atlantic, English Channel and Mediterranean coasts (Grand Prix Atlantique / Grand Prix de l’Ecole Navale – Semaine de Deauville – Route des Iles).

Following the example of the French Solo Championship, which is built around the Solitaire du Figaro, the Crewed French Championship will make the most of 2008 to gather together the best French and European crews and also testify to the dynamism of the Mumm 30 class.

For Deauville Week this comes as renewed recognition of its sporting interest and its appeal to crews.

This Championship will complete the labels also on the programme in the other event series: French J 80 Cup, Nationals 747 OD, J 109 EuroCup, Trophée Manche UNCL (Channel Trophy) for IRC craft.

The Deauville International Sailing Week, a sports rendez-vous as well as a meeting of media and Norman enterprises, in this way reinforces its drive for great nautical events in the Channel.

A reminder of the dates: 28th May / 1st June 2008.
