Figaro 3 - Sardinha-Cup - St.Gilles Croix-de-Vie FRA

Despite a massive Corona lockdown in France, the Sardinha Cup of the foiling Figaro 3 class will start next Wednesday. Thanks to adjustments in the programme - the stage to Portugal was cancelled - a renunciation of a race village and strict sanitary measures, the authorities gave their consent. There are two stages on the programme: a shorter one (2 days) starting on Wednesday, next week the teams will be on the water for 5 days. 20 two-man teams will start, among them Vendée Globe veteran Yann Eliès FRA (with Jean Pape FRA), and the cracks of the Figaro 3 class.
