A new departure for the Rallye des Iles du Soleil

The rally will set sail for Brazil in October 2013 (about fifty sailing boats are expected), from La Rochelle and the Mediterranean, with a stopover to meet up in Madeira before arriving in Brazil then sailing up part of the Amazon.

With the arrival of Grand Pavois as organiser, we are in any case certain that multihulls will be made very welcome to the rally.
Those of you who are tempted by the adventure no longer have an excuse: you will have to leave, sail, enjoy and tell us about sailing up the Amazon in the magazine...
