THANK YOU TO ALL THE PARTNERS
OF THE DRHEAM-CUP – GRAND PRIX DE FRANCE DE COURSE AU LARGE
“We particularly wish to thank THE CITY OF CHERBOURG–EN–COTENTIN, our “ELITE” partner, a major player that directly contributed to the fast development of THE DRHEAM-CUP / GRAND PRIX DE FRANCE DE COURSE AU LARGE, which is now one of the Major International Offshore Races. Its strong and long-term commitment to us is the best guarantee of our event’s steady and sustainable growth.
At the start of this 2025 season, a very special mention goes to LORIENT-AGGLOMÉRATION which, by joining us also as an ‘ELITE’ partner, enables us to open a new chapter to continue and further develop our beautiful story.
Great thanks also to the other Local Authorities that support us, as well as our private partners. »

Between two sea-going regions
From Cotentin to South Brittany, the DRHEAM-CUP / GRAND PRIX DE FRANCE DE COURSE AU LARGE is one of the most beautiful regattas you could imagine, between two sea-going regions and two great French harbours: Cherbourg-en Cotentin and La Trinité-sur-Mer. Open to amateurs and professionals, crews and solo-sailors, the race soon found its competitors. One hundred boats were at the start in the edition in 2020 and more in 2022.
The spirit of the event is what has mainly attracted skippers: a race between big names in international sailing and dozens of amateur crews in a festive and popular atmosphere. It is also an opportunity for all those tempted to go up against the Irish Sea
and the Atlantic on a demanding course that combines inshore and offshore racing It is of course a great moment of sharing on the quayside of a town that will come alive with preparations until the start, between the outer harbour and the coast of La Hague.
Major race organisers do not choose Cherbourg-en-Cotentin by chance. Port Chantereyne is the largest deep-water port in the Manche area, protected by one of the largest artificial outer harbours in the world, in an exceptional location for sailing, opening on the Channel Islands. Our city has unrivalled advantages for sailors, with structured nautical and naval services and a welcome appreciated by all, which we promote through this type of event.
We all have great memories of the 2020 and 2022 editions. We are impatiently awaiting 2024 and the start of the summer season.

Located in South Brittany, Morbihan has unique natural advantages for watersports and sailing. The Département can only rejoice to see its wonderful backdrop showcased through offshore races such as the DRHEAM-CUP / GRAND PRIX DE FRANCE DE COURSE AU LARGE.
