It&#8217;s not a question of denying ourselves, just moving with the times,&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>explains Marcus Hutchinson. &#8220;<em>It was\u00a0 a quite technical challenge, especially on such a small boat. It puts severe constraints on the choice of equipment and energy consumption,&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>explains Beno\u00eet Marsille of ROM-arrang\u00e9, who worked on the subject alongside the class and Teem.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, it&#8217;s the Starlink Mini antenna,\u00a0coupled with a box that will limit feeds, that will be installed on board all Figaro Beneteau 3s\u00a0<strong>for the Transat Paprec and Solitaire du Figaro Paprec in 2025<\/strong>, and will be mandatory in 2026 for all championship races. &#8220;<em>Technically, it&#8217;s ideal, even if ethically, it raises questions,&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>Beno\u00eet Marsille.\u00a0<strong>Cost of installation? 1,600 euros per boat<\/strong>. While the class has contributed financially to the development of the device, OC Sport is financing a third of the sum this year, with the remainder going to the racers and owners.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Constrained budgetary races<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite this good overall picture, the context economic remains the black spot of this 2025 season, both for skippers and for race organizers<strong>, whose public-private financing model is being challenged.\u00a0<\/strong><em>&#8220;The climate is inevitably complicated, the deadlines are getting longer and the\u00a0process decision-making even longer, which means that the 2025 course has not yet been finalized<\/em>,&#8221; explains Emmanuel Bachellerie,\u00a0managing director of Ultim Sailing, organizer of the Tour Voile, which will be raced in Figaro 3s until at least 2029.\u00a0<em>We&#8217;re very careful to work hand in hand with the local authorities.

Hence, once again,\u00a0<strong>delay in announcing the course for the 2025 edition.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The organizer and the class also differ on the date of the event. While the skippers and the class want to keep it at the end of the summer as the sporting highlight of the season,\u00a0<strong>OC Sport Pen Duick is pushing to bring the forward to event June<\/strong>. &#8220;<em>Ten years ago, local authorities wanted to liven up the summer season for tourists, but today\u00a0their interests are more focused on their inhabitants and the fact that the town is alive all year round,&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>explains Julie Royer Coutts.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph Bizard,\u00a0 Manager General of OC Sport, is more direct:\u00a0<em>&#8220;We feel that in these somewhat difficult times,\u00a0<\/em><strong><em>the race must be well\u00a0 positioned\u00a0in the calendar<\/em><\/strong><em>, because it&#8217;s a jewel to be preserved.

That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re having discussions &#8211; and disagreements &#8211; with the class about repositioning it in the pre-season, and\u00a0<\/em><strong><em>thus enabling it to have more spin-offs<\/em><\/strong><em>.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>Marcus Hutchinson doesn&#8217;t play down , this reality even though he believes in\u00a0<em>&#8220;new inventing models:\u00a0<\/em><strong><em>we have to do more with less<\/em><\/strong><em>.
