Sailing out of Île de Ré
The playground: the Breton and Antioche straits around a low tidal island, between sandbanks and the Fier d’Ars lagoon. Starting point: the Saint-Martin-de-Ré harbour inside Vauban’s fortifications, and Ars-en-Ré at the head of its lagoon.
The wind to know
Upwind or down, reckon with a near-permanent westerly, gentle in summer, with harbours and approaches managed on the tide: that is what draws the local routes.
