Speed sailing in Douarnanez  
Various classes and kiteboards to show their skill in one month's time
With 30 days to go before the curtain goes up for the Petit Navire Grand Prix, the organisers are working hard to prepare the event. Douarnenez will be enjoying ten days of special events. In the bay, traditional boats and racing boats will be seen alongside kitesurfers, with a lot to see at sea and a great number of activities ashore.

All the colours in the world

The arrival of the Kitesurfers in Douarnenez is always an event. The presence of their multi-coloured sails out on the water remains a unique sight. No fewer than 100 of these crazy fliers will be lining up at the start of the European Kite Championships. Competitors come from Holland, Spain and from all four corners of France. They are aged between 15 and 50 and all share the same passion. The Petit Navire Grand Prix offers them an exceptional playground to show their skills. The best will be lining up for the start off Sables Blancs Beach, including a large contingent from the French speed saling team, led by Bruno Sroka (multiple French champion and world racing champion), Caroline Adrien, Hélène Barrière, Julien Kerneur as well as Fabienne d'Ortoli.
