Les Sables Horta

Les Sables–Horta–Les Sables is an iconic offshore race exclusively dedicated to the Class40 fleet. Sailed double-handed, the race takes competitors from Les Sables-d'Olonne, France, to Horta in the Azores before returning to the French Atlantic coast. Renowned for its demanding North Atlantic course, the event tests performance, strategy, and seamanship in a wide range of weather conditions. A cornerstone of the Class40 calendar, it is one of the circuit's most anticipated and prestigious races.
