STEP DESCRIPTION
1840 nautical miles between Rouen (Seine-Maritime) and La Turballe (Loire-Atlantique), via Gijón (Spain) and Royan (Charente-Maritime). A committed journey with a stopover abroad, which will offer a varied playing field to the Figarists.
“It’s a very nice course faithful to the DNA of La Solitaire du Figaro Paprec, made up of three large stages of around 600 miles each, which will alternate between the coastal and the offshore. It will offer varied conditions to competitors and allow them to explore different playing fields.” Yann Chateau, Race Director.
“The Race Direction has once again put together a very beautiful course for us this year with three long stages with very open roads, which will require competitors to make strategic choices and will allow them to exercise their skills as navigators and meteorologists! The Solitaire du Figaro Paprec promises sailors and fans a thrilling race full of twists and turns.”
Sébastien Petithuguenin, Managing Director of the Paprec group.
