Alexis Thomas, an experienced skipper, is starting his 5th season on the Figaro circuit and will be at the start of the Transat Paprec for the first time in his career!
"The Transat Paprec: A long, relentless sprint
19 days neck and neck with our competitors, where the slightest mistake costs you dearly. No other transatlantic race offers such intensity, and that's exactly what I'm looking for by taking part in the Transat Paprec. At the finish, only a few minutes separate the podium. Here, mental endurance is as crucial as performance on the water. This long and demanding experience makes it great training for the Solitaire du Figaro."
