La Solitaire du Figaro Paprec Leg 3: Final 36 hours will decide winner

After a relatively straightforward climb up the Brittany coast, the solo racers on the final stage of the 55th La Solitaire du Figaro Paprec are facing the most challenging part of the 710 nautical miles stage. 31 skippers are left in the race, with some already benefiting from time bonuses. Ireland’s Tom Dolan, the current overall leader, is facing tough competition as the leaders head into stormy conditions.

The race director predicts a strong front passing through, bringing challenging conditions for the sailors. The focus is on preserving sails and finding the balance between speed and equipment preservation. The sailors are expected to reach La Turballe early Thursday morning, but it’s still uncertain who will emerge as the winner of this prestigious event.
