A low-pressure system generating strong winds and very rough seas is expected Tuesday and Wednesday in Ireland, the Celtic Sea, and primarily in the Western English Channel. In order to protect the crews while maintaining a competitive course and event, it has been decided not to sail the planned course in Ireland, particularly the detour around the Tuskar Rock and Fastnet Rock lighthouses. The proposed course includes, in its final leg, an out-and-back in the Eastern English Channel, with, for the first time for the event, a passage through Dieppe. The new course is a long journey through the Channel, encompassing both France and Great Britain, Brittany and Normandy, and is in keeping with the history of the CIC NORMANDY CHANNEL RACE. Let&#8217;s bet that this change will in no way diminish the intensity of the race, with the added bonus of new segments never before covered even by veterans of the event. The total distance of the route, which may still be modified during the course, is 880nm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>Contact: SIRIUS EVENEMENTS<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>5 rue de l\u2019Amiral Hamelin &#8211; 75116 PARIS<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>contact@sirius-events.com &#8211; +33 1 47 04 61 14<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small with_line width_default thick_1 style_solid color_border align_center\"><div class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Share this article:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-sharing type_simple align_none color_default\"><div class=\"w-sharing-list\"><a class=\"w-sharing-item facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48768&amp;quote=FLASH NEWS: COURSE CHANGE\" title=\"Share this\" aria-label=\"Share this\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, &quot;facebook&quot;, &quot;toolbar=0,width=900,height=500&quot;); return false;\"><i class=\"fab fa-facebook\"><\/i><\/a><a class=\"w-sharing-item twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=FLASH NEWS: COURSE CHANGE&amp;url=https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48768\" title=\"Share this\" aria-label=\"Share this\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, &quot;twitter&quot;, &quot;toolbar=0,width=650,height=360&quot;); return false;\"><i class=\"fab fa-x-twitter\"><svg style=\"width:1em; margin-bottom:-.1em;\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M389.2 48h70.6L305.6 224.2 487 464H345L233.7 318.6 106.5 464H35.8L200.7 275.5 26.8 48H172.4L272.9 180.9 389.2 48zM364.4 421.8h39.1L151.1 88h-42L364.4 421.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/i><\/a><a class=\"w-sharing-item linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48768\" title=\"Share this\" aria-label=\"Share this\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, &quot;linkedin&quot;, &quot;toolbar=no,width=550,height=550&quot;); return false;\"><i class=\"fab fa-linkedin\"><\/i><\/a><a class=\"w-sharing-item pinterest\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48768&amp;media=https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-30-at-15.35.52-1024x493.jpeg&amp;description=FLASH NEWS: COURSE CHANGE\" title=\"Pin this\" aria-label=\"Pin this\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, &quot;pinterest&quot;, &quot;toolbar=no,width=700,height=300&quot;); return false;\"><i class=\"fab fa-pinterest\"><\/i><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_large\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-post-elm post_navigation layout_sided inv_false\"><a class=\"post_navigation-item order_first to_prev\" href=\"https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/en\/the-low-down-on-an-epic-week-un-the-english-channel-2\/\" title=\"THE LOW-DOWN ON AN EPIC WEEK IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL\"><div class=\"post_navigation-item-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250525NCR_1JML0557bd-1-300x200.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"><\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-arrow\"><\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-title\"><span>THE LOW-DOWN ON AN EPIC WEEK IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL<\/span><\/div><\/a><a class=\"post_navigation-item order_second to_next\" href=\"https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/en\/a-start-with-impressionistic-nuances-for-the-17th-cic-normandy-channel-race\/\" title=\"A START WITH IMPRESSIONISTIC NUANCES FOR THE 17TH CIC NORMANDY CHANNEL RACE\"><div class=\"post_navigation-item-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dji_fly_20260531_140134_0005_1780229058417_photo-1-300x200.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"><\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-arrow\"><\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-title\"><span>A START WITH IMPRESSIONISTIC NUANCES FOR THE 17TH CIC NORMANDY CHANNEL RACE<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FLASH NEWS: COURSE CHANGE FLASH NEWS: COURSE CHANGE The race committee of the CIC NORMANDY CHANNEL RACE announced today at 3:00 PM a change to the race course.
