Rallye des îles du Soleil 2023

Rendezvous on October 27th in Santa Cruz de la Palma

After several years of heading to Brazil as its destination, the Rallye des Iles du Soleil (the sunshine islands rally) has been setting a course from the island of La Palma, in the Canaries, to Marie-Galante, off Guadeloupe, since November 2017. 

This transatlantic rally, open to all sailboats - monohulls and multihulls – of over 33 feet (10 meters) in length, includes a stopover of a few days in Mindelo, on the island of São Vicente, Cape Verde. This rally differs from the ARC events in several ways: it keeps a more intimate format with just a hundred or so people, mostly French-speaking (the organizers are counting on 30 to 35 boats, not more) and is not a race with corrected time - only a line-honors classification is used. Also noteworthy: breakfasts are offered at all the stopovers and arrival in Marie-Galante is organized in an anchorage, on mooring balls, not in a marina, which is often more appreciated by the multihull crews.
