With its new route of 170 nautical miles, between Bonifacio and Saint-Florent, the regatta will stop in 6 ports along the Corsican shores and leave for the first time in its history from Bonifacio.
After Calvi and Ajaccio, Bonifacio will be the new departure city of the 10th Classic Corsica: the fleet will be moored at the quay of honor for the greatest pleasure of the spectators of the city of the cliffs. They will be able to observe very closely from Saturday, August 24 these classic yachts. Many surprises will punctuate the days of regattas to celebrate as it should be the 10 years of this iconic traditional yacht race made in Corsica.
