Coupe de Rivière 2024: a not-to-be-missed event for Corsair and Cap Corse fans

The 40th Coupe de Rivière will be held on April 27 and 28, 2024, bringing together a fleet of Corsaires and Cap Corse, 2 models designed by naval architect Jean-Jacques Herbulot. These plywood sailboats, witnesses to French nautical history, will be sailing on the Marne River, in Créteil's Bassin de la Pie.

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.

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.
