The Sailing Tour of Finistère, nicknamed “Tourduf”, is preparing for its big return this summer, from July 28 to August 2, 2025. During the press conference held at the Maison du Département, in Quimper, this Thursday, January 16 2025, the organizers have lifted the veil on the route. The competition is open to boats from 7 to 14 meters, and between 80 and 90 boats and more than 500 sailors are expected.
This 39th edition will take sailors through five significant stages on a total course of 190 nautical miles, linking Morlaix to Port-La-Forêt.
Here are the main stages of the journey:
Step 1. Morlaix towards Aber Wrac'h (July 28): after an impressive passage through the locks and a journey up the Morlaix river, the boats will set off into the bay to reach the Aber Wrac'h channel.
Step 2. Aber Wrac'h towards Aber Ildut (July 29): the sailors will leave the waters of the Virgin Island lighthouse to join those of the Four lighthouse, before a coastal stopover at Lampaul-Plouarzel.
Step 3. The Aber Ildut towards Douarnenez (July 30): a spectacular day of sailing awaits the competitors, who will pass by the piles of peas and the bay of Douarnenez.
-Step 4. Douarnenez towards Plobannalec-Lesconil (night from July 31 to August 1): the legendary night stage will take you across the Raz de Sein and the waters around the Glénan islands before a rare stopover in the port of Lesconil, which had not previously no longer welcomed Tourduf since 2013.
Step 5. Plobannalec-Lesconil to Port-La-Forêt (August 2): the last stage will take the sailors to Port-La-Forêt, where the prize giving will take place.
Each stopover will combine competition, conviviality and entertainment, with moments of sharing. All those involved in the competition are hoping for ideal weather to enhance the edition. Registrations will open at the end of February, date to be announced.
