Two Brits on the rookie podium of Solitaire du Figaro 2014
Pushing hard over the final 10 miles of the shortened 440-mile course, 2014 British Rookie Sam Matson regained three positions on the home straight – enough to see him cross the finish line 25th and third Rookie in the leg. On the overall leader board, Sam secured a superb 15th position overall in his first Solitaire du Figaro and second Rookie overall – a fantastic follow up for the Artemis Offshore Academy and British solo sailing after Sam Goodchild’s best of British result (11th) and Jack Bouttell’s historic British Rookie win in 2013.
Arriving in Cherbourg, Artemis 77 skipper Rich Mason was disappointed with his Leg 4 result finishing 28th. Realizing that he had taken the last spot on the overall Rookie podium, Rich soon had a smile back on his face.
