On February 6, PRW reported that this year’s Rouen 24 was in doubt due to the local Town Hall’s ‘social-ecological ambitions’.

They even stated that they could ‘only support the 24-hour motor-boating event if fully carbon-free engines are used’.

This Friday, the President of the Rouen Yacht Club will meet with the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Rouen to discuss their previous exchanges and to finalise an official position on the event.
