Yachting Monthly Biscay Triangle 2006
The Yachting Monthly Biscay Triangle is an annual 3-week cruising rally for yachtsmen wishing to experience a long-range cruise in company. The Rally provides camaraderie and professional support and will benefit both experienced long-distance cruising yachtsmen and those wishing to extend their sailing experience in a fully-supported, club-style cruising event.
The departure and return are made at Torquay, where a warm reception is always assured by the Royal Torbay Yacht Club. At the end of a 500-mile passage to La Coruña in North-West Spain, the club-style ethos of the event is underlined by our rally hosts at the Real Club Nautico of La Coruña and at the Société Nautique at La Trinité in South Brittany. The Yachting Monthly Biscay Triangle commences in late July and lasts 3 weeks, providing sufficient time for joining in Torquay and for returning home after the event.
