XXV Dart Worlds
Only two weeks left to enter the 2026 Dart 18 Worlds – after May 4th the fee is just a bit higher…
Nearly 120 of you have already booked and confirmed their entry to this fabulous milestone of the Dart life. We are very grateful!
By Olivier Billard – Chairman Afidart and my team
Thanks to your early entries, to our generous contributors, to the local authorities and to our sponsors, we can already share with you what will happen at Carnac.
Of course we shall all race. 120 Dart on a starting line : just beautiful. No stress. We’ve done it already, even with more boats, and it always went very well. It is simply incredible to be part of this ! Your team of Race Officials and all the racing means are all largely adequate to assure high quality and safe races, for an unforgettable week afloat.
All details about racing are in the Notice of Race here
Social Program
Let’s talk about the socials, the essential side of the true Dart life. Our team is still working on it ; it is very likely to be as follows:
Friday july 3rd : welcome on the boat park, measurement, confirmation of registration. Our marquee may not be fully ready ; but the club bar is definitely open. Football 16th final at 20h00 for the fans at club bar.
Saturday july 4th : welcome on the boat park, measurement, confirmation of registration. Opening ceremony and opening reception in Carnac town. The club bar is open. Cooling and BBQ equipment at the marquee. Football 8th final at club bar for the fans.
Sunday july 5th : for the very late comers : welcome on the boat park, measurement, confirmation of registration. Nations Night : the perfect introduction meeting, where everyone brings his home delicacies -solid and/or liquid- to share with Dart friends. Cooling and BBQ equipment at the marquee. The club bar is open (and its football screen for the fans) … but I bet you will prefer the marquee and its magic Dart spirit !
Monday july 6th : Club bar is open. Cooling and BBQ equipment at the marquee. Oh, and football is at 2h00 am 😉
Tuesday july 7th : D-day : great gala night, special 50th jubilee, with seated full dinner, followed by stunning live music performance … a great and very late dancing party. The real fans may watch football at the bar … if the bar tender is not with us on the dancefloor !
Wednesday july 8th : well deserved rest day for everyone … even the football players. Club bar will be open in case we have to race.
Thursday july 9th : Oyster and wine tasting, then pasta party, then a DJ for another dancing night ; get ready ! And a first football quarter final for the addicts who don’t want to dance.
Friday july 10th : Prize giving ceremony. We will then celebrate our champions around a farewell drink … and look forward to Spain 2027.
