Australia s first Figaro Beneteau 3 makes racing debut by Beneteau Asia/Pacific 6 May 08:10 UTC
After a month of setup and tuning, the first Figaro Beneteau 3 (FB3) in Australia, sold by our dealer in the country, Flagstaff Marine, successfully launched to water with her happy owner onboard. She is named Intiy , and the owner s comments on the first sail were light, fast and responsive. Last week, Intiy was spotted at Sail Port Stephens 2021 for her Australian racing debut.
This FB3 has a tight schedule ahead. After the debut, the happy owner has signed her up for the legendary Beneteau Pittwater Regatta 2021, where he meets other Beneteau owners from different parts of Australia for a day of social racing and post-celebration. After the friendly competition, the FB3 will be publicly displayed at Pittwater and undergo sea trials with journalists onboard.

Since its birth in 1970, one of the missions of the Figaro Circuit has been to encourage, cultivate and develop great offshore solo and short-handed sailors.
Cecile Laguette, Skipper and Naval Architect, started her first Figaro race in 2016 with a determined mind to expand her sailing. She has competed in two generations of Figaro Beneteau (FB) models, the FB2 and the FB3. The Figaro Beneteau boats have been the official boat of the circuit. Over the years, Beneteau has launched three generations of the FB boats, reflecting the innovation in boat design, building technology and new materials.
