About La Rochelle, France
La Rochelle sits in the picturesque Poitou Charantes region. The town has a wealth of maritime history and a beautiful old town area, along with a spectacular port and associated facilities. The town is teaming with lovely restaurants serving a variety of local cuisine, with locally caught fish being a particular speciality.
Protected by Ré, Aix and Oléron islands, the sailing areas immediately accessible from La Rochelle benefit of fair weather conditions.
Those advantages allow us to organize our regattas in excellent safety conditions.
The sailing area off La Rochelle covers some 3300 hectares.
The wind speed in summer averages a relatively constant 12-15 knots (wind force 3 to 4). Winds blowing south-west to north-west at force 3 to 4 are prevalent. La Rochelle sailing area offers the major advantage of steady sea breezes. Racers can count on regular, equitable sailing conditions.
La Rochelle, situated on the Atlantic Ocean, is spared from summer heat waves known in other climates. This effect is enhanced by the sea breezes common in summer. The maximum temperatures in summer range between 22 and 25°C in average. The temperature of the water is about 20°C in the narrows and 22°C along the coast.
Virtually no fog (the absence of cold bodies of water in the open sea likely to cause persistent fog). The main currents in the region are tidal. They vary according to tidal predications.
In its Club House, the SRR has a reception capacity of 300 square meters indoor and 400 square meters outdoor.
Its circular view on the whole port is a privileged place in La Rochelle. It is the meeting point for sailors, but also the privileged place to welcome competitors.
The Club House is made of:
-A dining room of about 120 square meters
-A meeting room with a bar, of about 150 square meters
-An outside floor of about 400 square meters
The club disposes of toilets and showers easily accessible from the boat park and launching area for sailors.
