July 31, 2011, Perros Guirec – Skipper Charlie Dalin, will start his first Solitaire du Figaro, one of the most prestigious racing events on board a monohull design Bénéteau Figaro 2 (10 meter). Alone at sea for a month, covering 1,695 nautical miles in four technical, challenging, and exciting stages between Brittany, Normandy, Ireland and the Vendée, the young sailor will have to demonstrate daring within a fleet of nearly 50 talented racers.

Alone on the water, Charlie will be well backed up on the ground, supported by Keopsys and a whole club of local partners with key roles in this beautiful maritime story. Forming a cohesive and efficient crew, companies Ekinops, Allience, Mulann Prolan, Studio Mirror and CCI Lannion have joined forces with Charlie Dalin and Keopsys to become players in this major race and promote their values, their commitment and dynamism from the start of the Figaro and throughout the season.
