La Solitaire du Figaro

The race historically starts from France with a total course between 1,500 and 2,000 miles. Over half a decade since it was launched, the race has created some of France’s top offshore sailors. In 2019, the latest generation foiling Figaro Beneteau 3 was introduced which elevated interest in the race once again. Recognised as the unofficial world championships of solo offshore racing, the race is fiercely competitive. Sailors take on Europe’s roughest waters, including some of world’s best ocean racers as well as ambitious young Rookies.
