WASZP FRENZY IN FRANCE!

It’s a summer full of foiling and Blockheads are jumping around from regatta to regatta getting their fix in. Most recently, Harken France stopped by the 2025 French Waszp Nationals in Carnac, France.

Twenty-nine competitors from seven different countries gathered at Yacht Club de Carnac, France for five days of intense racing. During the event, Harken met up with Harken France Ambassador, Louise Metenier. Metenier was racing in the U19 division and showed us her Waszp set up upgraded with Zicron (check out what Riley Gibbs has to say!) and Fly blocks. Louise secured second place in her fleet—check out the full results here!

This event also acts as a SailGP WASZP Season 5 Grand Final Qualification. Conditions gave sailors a little bit of everything and it was nothing short of a great event. The sailors stopped by the Harken tent for breakfast (petit déjeuner), to try to top the leaderboard on the grinder, and to check out the Harken Waszp Kit!
