On the 8th, 9th and 10th of November, the 8th edition of the now famous Triskell Cup will take place in Pointe-a-Pitre (GUADELOUPE). In 2007, 83 teams representing almost 600 sailors, were competing on the waters of the Cul de sac Marin in front of Gosier Island. The boats were varied in genre and size, from an old Muscadet to a SWANN 62. A tremendous turnout is expected this year. Crews from Nancy, Cherbourg, Brittany and Italy are expected as well as crews from Antigua (Abracadabra, Huey Too, and others, all excellent teams well known on the Caribbean tour). Teams from Martinique also promise to be numerous, and two are expected from Dominica. Additionally, four feminine crews have expressed interest.

The winning crew of La Rochelle International Week will receive six flights tickets from the tour operator Nouvelles Antilles.com and an eight day charter aboard an archambeau 40 offered by Autremer Concept in Martinique.

For a price of 50 Euros per crew member the programme will be as follows:
Day One : Two races followed by a cocktail party.
Day Two : Two races followed by dinner and a show with zouk
Day Three : One race before the prize giving ceremony at the Marina Bas-du-Fort.
