LEG DESCRIPTION
Stage 2 of the Solitaire du Figaro Paprec will be held over 565 nautical miles or 1046 km, between the Bay of Morlaix and Vigo in Spain.
"The second stage, starting from Roscoff, will offer a tour of Brittany as far as the Birvideaux special mark before heading towards Vigo across the Bay of Biscay. It will therefore consist of a first coastal section where the competitors will have to deal with the currents and possible influences of thermal breezes, before tackling the second, more offshore section."
Yann Chateau - Race Director
"The second leg is a classic of La Solitaire, crossing the Bay of Biscay from one Finistère to the other. The end of the leg, along the Spanish coast, can be tricky for skippers caught up in fatigue. And it represents a great opportunity for those who manage to manage their sleep!"
Sébastien Petithuguenin - Managing Director of Paprec Group

CROSSING POINTS
Cape Finisterre
Located at the westernmost tip of Spain, this cape is a mythical point where the Atlantic meets the land. Known as "The End of the Earth" to sailors, this majestic cliff marked the end of the known world for centuries. Today, it is a place of contemplation for travelers and a feared challenge for navigators.
Sein Causeway
Located off the coast of Brittany, it is known for its turbulent currents resulting from the meeting of the Atlantic and the Celtic Sea, creating an area feared by sailors. Despite its wild beauty, the Chaussée de Sein remains a reminder to every sailor of the power of nature.
Birvideaux Lighthouse
The Birvideaux lighthouse is a lighthouse located on the Birvideaux plateau, between Groix , the Quiberon peninsula , and Belle-Île-en-Mer .
