Set sail on a Figaro

This year, the players will be sailing on the Figaro BENETEAU 3: an innovative high-performance Figaro sailing yacht showcasing the latest progress in naval construction. The yacht’s design office, Van Peteghem Lauriot-Prévost (VPLP), designed the 2 boats that won the last Vendée Globe.

The Figaro BENETEAU 3 is designed specifically for single-handed racing, making it the ideal boat for a thrilling virtual regatta: the virtual skippers are at the helm of a state-of-the-art performance yacht, which is powerful, agile, and easy to handle, adding to the full-on intensity of the adventure.
