The Coupe de Rivière, a national event bringing together Corsairs and Cap Corse, attracts enthusiasts from all over France, eager to measure themselves in a competition combining performance and elegance. The importance of this regatta lies not only in its longevity (this year, 2024, we celebrate the 40th edition!), but also in its ability to unite a community around shared values: a passion for sailing and respect for maritime heritage.
An idyllic and historic setting: the Créteil CVBM
The choice of Créteil's Club de Voile de la Basse Marne (CVBM) as host for this event is not insignificant. Located on Île du barrage, an extension of Île Sainte-Catherine, the site offers an exceptional panorama, evoking the countryside just a few minutes from Paris. Its clubhouse, a former guinguette on the banks of the Marne, adds a nostalgic and convivial touch, recalling the golden age of the Marne banks. Classified as a "petit site exceptionnel d'Île-de-France", the venue offers a striking contrast with the hustle and bustle of Paris, leaving participants and spectators alike with the image of a veritable haven of peace.
A not-to-be-missed event for boating enthusiasts
The Coupe de Rivière is more than just a regatta, it's a celebration of traditional sailing through 2 flagship models that have made the history of modern yachting, the Corsaire and the Cap Corse designed by Jean-Jacques Herbulot, an opportunity to discover or rediscover historic yachts in a unique setting. The 2024 edition promises to be a great event for participants and spectators alike. It offers a unique opportunity to get right to the heart of the action, to share moments of conviviality and passion for sailing. The Créteil CVBM, with its picturesque setting and rich history, is the ideal venue to host this emblematic event. For lovers of sailing and maritime history, the 40th Coupe de Rivière is an event to mark a milestone on the nautical agenda for 2024.
