GULF WEEK
Every two years during Ascension week.
An international maritime event, a cultural and popular festival, in the magical setting of the "Little Sea" (Mor Bihan in Breton)
More than a thousand traditional and classic boats, along with some twenty large vessels of European maritime heritage, are divided into coherent and identifiable flotillas, sailing daily and varying their stops between ports and anchorages. The result: a vibrant maritime festival that enlivens the entire Gulf of Morbihan. The unique geography and physical characteristics of this "small sea"—its islands and islets, the narrow channel that separates and protects it from the open sea, the tidal reversals, the choppy waters, the currents and counter-currents—determine and set the rhythm of the entire nautical program of the event.
The nautical program concludes on Saturday with a spectacular "grand parade" which brings together the entire fleet in the central channel of the Gulf.
GWASK KRANKED
The famous Crab Smashers Regatta, which every year in September since 2013 pits the Amis du Sinagot flotilla against the Crialeïs on a course defined by the previous year's winner.
Named as a nod to the boats that sail close to the coast, the race organized by Robert Beven and his crew did not disappoint the legendary conviviality that reigns there.
