The Figaro Nationals end-of-season event is the only fully crewed event with four persons on board the powerful Figaro 3 to sail in an exciting mixture of windward-leewards, round the cans and a long-distance coastal race circumnavigating the Ile de Groix. A great social life and entertainment are also a significant and guaranteed part of the package!
There will be three days of on and off-the-water coaching before the event led by Kenny Rumball, who has accumulated three full years of experience in the highly competitive class. Coaching will run from Tuesday the 4thto Wednesday 6th October. There are direct flights with Ryanair to nearby Nantes airport from Dublin on Monday 3rd October.
The complete turnkey solution
This is a complete turnkey solution; no logistics to organise other than bring your oilskins and boots. Marcus and Kenny will arrange race-ready Figaro 3's, complete with sails and their envious streamlined backup service both on and off the water. We have several boats available, all in full 2022 class specifications and ready for the event.
This is an incredible opportunity to meet and participate in the world's highest level of offshore One Design racing for anybody interested in shorthanded offshore racing.
