This is the first female win in the Figaro-Bénéteau offshore racing solo circuit. Well done for the rookie coming from the mini 650 circuit.

Leg 1 was won by Breton Eric Drouglazet. Leg 2 has been taken by Antonio Pedro Da Cruz who gave to Africa its first win in the offshore solo racing scene. And leg 3, from Marzamemi in Sicile to Aghios in Crete was Isabelle’s one. She took the lead after Thierry Chabagny in the south of the fleet and kept it for herself toward the finishing line as shjewas known to do in the mini circuit in the past four years.

This year, Isabelle is a rookie in the Figaro circuit. But she took experience from her previous réaces, in particular in the Course des Falaise where she discovered solo inshore racing against the top sailors of the circuit. This summer, she finished 30 for her 1rst appearance in the Solitaire du Figaro, take the third place of the rookies rankings. Also winner of the forst leg of the Transat 650 from France to Brazil in 2007, she has added now a new leg win to her brillant palmares and the first female one in the Figaro class.
