The legendary race is on!

On Sunday 25 August Adrien Simon will be lining up at the start of the Solitaire du Figaro PAPREC.
Well-prepared, both physically and mentally, for this highly demanding ocean race, he told us what he hopes to achieve.
his hopes for the race:

‘The Solitaire du Figaro is a childhood dream for me! The Mini was already a bit of a dream, but now I’m really entering the big leagues. It’s the big gate alongside some renowned skippers, and I’m going to gain as much experience as possible.

I feel privileged to be here and I’d like to thank my partner FAUN for their support. I’m going to give it my all in this first year as a rookie.
I’m in great conditions to get the best places.
It’s the start of a 3-year cycle, and this year’s objective is to discover, learn and enjoy myself, so that next year we can focus on performance.

The field of competitors is very strong, so it’s going to be a real battle! See you on Friday 23 August to sail up the Seine to Le Havre and on Sunday 25 August for the start of the 2024 edition!
