When there are many members, qualifying for races becomes harder, boat prices rise, which can discourage some sailors and explain the decline. It takes time to rebound, but\u00a0<strong>it should pick up as second-hand boat prices decrease<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Currently, a fully equipped Maxi 6.50 (Plan Raison) costs between\u00a0<strong>\u20ac100,000 and \u20ac110,000<\/strong>, while a Pogo 3 costs between \u20ac60,000 and \u20ac80,000.\u00a0<em>&#8220;Being less competitive than the scows, the market is tougher for these,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0notes the president.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">A Sluggish Market<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While the second-hand market struggles,\u00a0<strong>the new-build market is stagnant: only 6 boats were built<\/strong>\u00a0last year\u2014one prototype and five series models\u2014far below the class limit of 20 in 2025. This limit aimed to smooth the previous boom cycle and increase boat longevity.\u00a0<em>&#8220;We had almost an entire fleet built in two years, which was inconsistent with the number of existing 6.50s,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0explains\u00a0<strong>Timoth\u00e9e Villain-Amirat<\/strong>. For boatyards, the impact is harsh.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We built three Maxis last year<\/em>\u00a0<em>and currently have\u00a0<strong>no orders<\/strong><\/em>,&#8221; laments\u00a0<strong>Denis Bourbigot<\/strong>, manager of IDB Marine, which has produced 63 Raison design units in total.\u00a0<em><strong>The quotas were an absurd decision<\/strong>\u00a0because it was predictable that construction would naturally slow down, especially given limited race slots. This negatively affected class attendance.\u00a0<strong>It&#8217;s generally hard to maintain continuity with a board that changes annually<\/strong>. I personally would not invest in tools for building a new boat while rules and measurements keep changing.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Bourbigot is referring to the\u00a0<strong>revamp of the series measurement rules<\/strong>, currently underway to allow more durable boats.

A 2024 trial run by the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des R\u00e9gates de Caen-Ouistreham had only 11 participants out of 65 eligible boats, so it was not repeated.<\/p>\n<p>Following a new call for bids,\u00a0<strong>Yacht-Club du Crouesty Arzon<\/strong>\u00a0was chosen to organise this race in even-numbered years.\u00a0<em>&#8220;The project, supported by about ten Mini sailors training here, appeals to us because it offers experienced sailors\u00a0<strong>a race on equal footing<\/strong>,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0explains Marc Eymond, YCCA president. The 500-mile solo or double-handed route\u00a0<em>&#8220;is not fully defined yet, but\u00a0<strong>the Scilly Isles are likely included<\/strong>,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0he adds.<\/p>\n<p>Another novelty:\u00a0<strong>the Calvados Cup becomes a French Championship race<\/strong>\u00a0<em>&#8220;to make it more attractive and encourage skippers to race outside the Brittany coast&#8221;<\/em>, notes the class president.
