Paprec, Title Partner of La Solitaire du Figaro Paprec and OC Sport Pen Duick are innovating this year by offering everyone the opportunity to participate in double-handed races in the first leg of the historic French sailing race. Called Le Défi Paprec, it will be contested on the same course as the rest of the fleet, (Rouen-Baie de Morlaix).

 

This initiative aims to attract and train a new generation of Figaro BENETEAU 3 skippers by giving them their first experience of double-handed ocean racing. This formula allows everyone to experience the joys of competition, while benefiting from the same organization, including safety on the water, race management, and all onshore infrastructure.

 

For the Paprec group, which has participated in numerous regattas for 25 years as a very committed sponsor, this approach is part of a desire to further promote access to racing by opening it up to an even wider audience, by offering aspiring sailors the opportunity to develop their monohull experience on a demanding and educational circuit, and thus help to inspire vocations and bring out new talents!
