SPADE Anchors and USHIP Lorient during the VOLVO OCEAN RACE

Lorient is the main hub of the Sailing Valley, as we call South Brittany, where you can find 80% of the french skills in the nautical field.

The Lorient racing centre, where 80 skippers get prepared every year, enjoys a privileged situation (accessible 24/7, near to broad reach) and adapted infrastructures.

Grouping skills of nautical field companies helps the center to be excellent and allows the skippers and their teams to make sure they are ready for big races and records.

The landscapes of the Country of Lorient, the various water activities and the animation of the city will please every visitor ! Lorient is the first french harbour to welcome the Race since La Rochelle did in 2002.

Please, come and speak with USHIP Lorient staff to understand why the Spade Anchor is the best anchor for safety, security and for a good night''s sleep.
