Vendee skipper Morgan Lagraviere crossed the line at 00:03:55 local time (22:03:55 UTC) to take line honours on La Solitaire du Figaro’s third and penultimate leg from Gijon, Spain to Roscoff on the north coast of France. His time for the 436 mile long leg was 2 days, 12 hours, 3 minutes and 55 seconds at an average speed of 7.26 knots.
For the 26-year-old Lagraviere, this is the latest step in what has been a meteoric career to date in the Figaro class. Having finished with Olympic 49er sailing, he was top rookie in the 2011 Solitaire du Figaro and finished second to Yann Elies last year. His latest achievement represents his first ever leg win in La Solitaire. After a brief spell upwind soon after the start out of Gijon on Thursday, Lagraviere took the lead and apart from a short period early on Saturday morning when he tacked offshore to get past Pointe de Penmarch, he never lost it.
