Stage 2 ia a stage marked by crucial decisions!. A whole new dilemma looms with the Scilly DST off Land’s End. Many questions arise, which strategic choice will be the wisest, and above all, who will emerge victorious from this second stage?

It was at 2:03 p.m. this Saturday that the line for the second stage of La Solitaire du Figaro Paprec was officially closed by Bruno Le Breton, president of the Race Committee. According to the racing instructions, this closing time was defined based on the racing time of Basile Bourgnon, first on the line, increased by 20%. The skipper of Edenred crossed it yesterday at 5:59 p.m. after 4 days 4 hours 19 minutes of racing.

At 2:03 p.m. this Friday, two skippers Susann Beucke (This Race 1st Female), clocked in at 2:30 p.m. on arrival in the Bay of Morlaix, and Piers Copham (Voile des Anges) still approaching at the time of writing, had not crossed it in time. As required by the rules of the French Sailing Federation on a time race, these two solo sailors are DNF (Did Not Finished). They get two extra hours compared to the race time calculated for a line crossing at 2:03 p.m. today.

As for Anthony Quentin (Hace Alur), who declared his retirement yesterday, he is declared RET (Retired). Their race time is calculated by adding two hours to that of the last competitor to cross the line in time. On this second stage, it is Ben Beasley (Ocean Attitude) who finished the Kinsale – Baie de Morlaix course, at 11:45 a.m. this Saturday, after 4d 22h 5mn of racing.
