4L Trophy 2023

ERI is delighted to be taking part once again in the 4L Trophy, an annual humanitarian rally across the Moroccan desert, which will take place from 19 to 02 March 2025.

This 40th anniversary edition has attracted 90 teams totalling 400 sailors divided across the J/70, Smeralda 888, Longtze Premier and Cape 31 classes.

ERI is delighted to be taking part once again in the 4L Trophy, an annual humanitarian rally across the Moroccan desert, which will take place from 15 to 25 February 2024.
