Rendez-vous en Janvier 2028
Après le succès de la premièr édition, l'Arkéa Ultim Challenge - Brest revient pour un nouveau tour du monde en solitaire. En janvier 2028, les plus grands trimarans océaniques s'élanceront à nouveau de la rade de Brest pour ce qui reste le défi le plus extrême de la course au large.
Le socle des partenaires historiques : Crédit Mutuel Arkéa, Brest Ville et Métropole, la Région Bretagne, le Département du Finistère et la Classe Ultim est d'ores et déjà mobilisé aux côtés d'OC Sport Pen Duick pour faire de cette deuxième édition un rendez-vous encore plus exceptionnel que le premier.
THE SEA,
IS ALSO THE TERRITORY.
For a territorial group like ours, which has strong roots along the coast, in Brittany and New Aquitaine, investment in sailing seems obvious. Our sports sponsorship policy, supported by our federations and subsidiaries, is an integral part of our corporate strategy. We have thus structured our maritime sector in order to better support, over the long term, all players in the maritime economy. Crédit Mutuel Arkéa intends to position itself as a facilitator of local and regional ecosystems to promote the responsible blue economy.
JULIEN CARMONA, CHAIRMAN OF CRÉDIT MUTUEL ARKÉA
The race of superlatives
The Arkéa Ultim Challenge Brest is the most extreme challenge ever undertaken in the world: an offshore race in Ultim, solo, non-stop, and unassisted!
Six "Giants of the Seas" set sail from Brest, each with a skipper attempting to complete a west-to-east circumnavigation via the three capes (Good Hope, Leeuwin, and Horn). This human and technological challenge is undertaken by the sailors of the Ultim 32/23 Class, supported by their shipowners and partners.
"Man has always needed to confront things that go beyond him."
T.Pesquet
ARKÉA, THE CONTINUATION OF A HISTORICAL COMMITMENT TO OFFSHORE RACING
Arkéa is committed to supporting local stakeholders and the real economy to support events at the heart of its territories. It was therefore important to accompany, through this partnership, the launch of a new major sporting event that promises to bring Brest and the entire region to the forefront.
