canoeing is practised in the La Barre dock, dinghy sailing in the Dock of Commerce, and recreational activities such as wakeboarding are being tested in Vatine
dock. In addition to sailing activities proposed by Le
Havre sailing clubs, new, more urban sports and leisure practices are being developed.
Programme / planned future uses : A concept of a sailing
stadium for water sports with access as quick and easy as
that the use of a gym could enhance the advantages of the
city-port docks (4,000 service jobs within a radius of 500m,
more 10,000 students nearby). This would complete the
existing offer and federate water-related practices in urban
areas. Practising water sports would be much easier compared with the more cumbersome logistics associated with
sailing at sea (which requires several hours’ availability), and
would help diversify the leisure sports offer. The activities
would showcase the new relations with the water that the
city wishes to develop.
The choice of the docks concerned, the quayside(s) potentially affected will need to be specified depending on the
project and discussed with the GPMH for coexistence with
other uses of the socks.
