Société des Régates de Courseulles

Which presumably is the local yacht club at Courseulles who seem to have a couple of nice J80's in the fleet.

I really like these boats, some friends had one about 20 years ago and I remember having some of the most fun sailing in all sorts of conditions, screaming up and down the Solent.

We went out to see the start of the 2005 Volvo around the world race start off Cowes and wanting to keep well out of the way ended up heading east back towards Cowes after the fleet had passed only to encounter about 100 or more power boats at full tilt, chasing after the Volvo fleet, causing most horrendous wash and chop, the J80 just ploughed on through it all.
