Harken was proud to be present at the Optimist International Summer Cup (CIE), a global event for youth sailors, held over July 12-18 in Brest, France. A key event of the season, it brought together nearly 400 young sailors from all over France – and beyond!

As a loyal supporter of youth sailing, Harken was excited to support this regatta by providing all the participants with shirts to wear over their life jackets throughout the event!

LOOK AT ALL THOSE BLOCKHEADS IN THEIR SWAG! Look good. Feel good. Do good. Race like a Blockhead—shop here!

We also rewarded the winners of the Raid Harken with a number of prizes in recognition of their performance and sportsmanship.

A big thank you to the organizers for a successful event, and well done to all the young sailors for their energy and passion!
