Team Artemis - Solitaire du figaro 2016

Established in 2010, the Artemis Offshore Academy is the UK’s only training centre for solo and short-handed offshore racing, giving British sailors the chance to compete exclusively on the Figaro circuit and helping them on their pathway to the Vendée Globe - a non-stop round the world solo race nicknamed the ‘Everest of sailing’. - Mary Rook, - Will Harris, - Hugh Brayshaw Physically and mentally demanding, highly competitive and all encompassing, solo offshore racing requires a unique sailing skill set. The annual Artemis Offshore Academy Selection Trials and subsequent training programme are designed to push sailors to their limits in all areas needed to run a successful sailing campaign, ensuring Academy skippers have what it takes to be competive on one of the most demanding and dynamic racing circuits in the world. Now heading into the 2014 Figaro racing season, the Artemis Offshore Academy continues to strive towards producing world- class short-handed sailors, with Academy trained skippers Sam Goodchild and Jack Bouttell having recorded some of the best British Solitaire du Figaro results in the history of the prestigious 2000 mile solo race earlier this year. __________________________________________________________________ SailingNews TV is the N°1 yachting and sailing channel.
