The Figaro Beneteau boats will be a part of the "Tour de Groix" with a delayed start

The Figaro class will also be in the spotlight during this Défi Azimut Lorient Agglomération. The careers of skippers such as Corentin Horeau, Nicolas Lunven, as well as Jérémie Beyou, Sébastien Simon, Violette Dorange, and Elodie Bonafous - to name just a few - illustrate the clear connections between the two worlds. It’s a natural connection that Jean-Marie Corteville and Marcus Hutchinson, vice president of the Figaro class, wanted to strengthen by inviting up-and-coming offshore sailors to take part in the Tour de Groix (staggered start) aboard their Beneteau Figaro boats. The more, the merrier, as we say!”
