The starting gun will be fired on Saturday, April 21 at precisely 1pm from the French Navy boat, “Le Sagittaire,” which will be in Concarneau especially for the start of the race. And the local population will watch the spectacle of the boats unfold in the harbor as the sailors leave the port in the direction of Saint Barth. Aboard their 10-meter Figaro boats, the sailors head toward Saint Barth, the pearl of the Caribbean where their arrival is always greatly anticipated. And as is local tradition, the boats are met with the sound of foghorns and blowing of conch shells.
