Return of the Rendez-vous de la Belle Plaisance in Southern Brittany
From June 22 to 25, 2023, the Rendez-vous de la Belle Plaisance returned to Bénodet. After a 3-year hiatus due to Covid, classic yachting was back in the Finistère bay. Held over 3 days, it has become one of France's most renowned gatherings of classic and traditional yachts, organized by the Yacht Club de l'Odet. It brings together the Channel and Atlantic fleets, and is part of the Challenge Classique Manche Atlantique. There's also a nice flotilla of International Gauge metric class yachts, whose calculation principle may confuse beginners . There were 8 m JI, 6 m JI, 5.5 m JI and even Mini J boats, as well as sport keelboats like the "Requin" and "Aile" from the Paris region, and dinghies like the Dinghy 12.
