The Ria de Muros- Noia has become, last morning, the epicenter of the world sail with the arrival of the second stage of the Regata La Solitaire Urgo Le Figaro, which covered a 520 nautical mile (963 km) route, from its departure on Sunday 2 September at the Baie de Sant Brieuc French.

Around four o'clock in the morning, the Sebastien Simon Gal, of the Bretagne CMB Performance, has made the honors of being the first to enter the Ria de Muros- Noia, using from its departure a time of 2 days, 14 hours, 5 minutes and 55 seconds. Twenty minutes later, his compatriot Xavier Macaire from the Groupe Snef, and with only one minute of difference from the second position of Macaire, also Eric Peron from the Finistere Mer Vent, was arriving, thus completing the podium of this second delivery.

Throughout the morning, the 39 ships have been arriving in a small five-hour margin, making their entrance from the vicinity of Mount Louro, to enter into the river.

During this Wednesday's day the individual results of this second stage will be known, as well as who is the leader of the general classification, which until today was led by the French Anthony Marchand, of the Groupe Royer- Secours Populaire.

In addition to the partial leadership of this second layout, there are names of the size of his compatriots, such as Sebastien Simon, of the Bretagne CMB Performance; Eric Peron, of the Finisterre Mer Vent; or Alan Roberts, of the Seacat Services.

The Ria de Muros and Noia Rural Development Association is preparing for these days various activities aimed at making known the environment of the river, its populations, gastronomy, cultural and maritime wealth, among the international press that accompanies the race, as well as the regatists themselves, visiting the entire context of the Ría da Estrela.

From the Channel of La Mancha to the River of Muros- Noia the Solitaire Urgo Le Figaro takes shape

The Regata La Solitaire Urgo Le Figaro is already in progress. Following the first stage, which had as the ports of departure and arrival the French villas of Le Havre and Baie de Sant-Brieuc, respectively, the Galo regatist Anthony Marchand, of the Groupe Royer- Secours Populaire, becomes the first leader of the generation, after the first conclusion of the 570 nautical miles (just over 1,000 km.) that separate both localities, using for this purpose 3 days, 9 hours, 57 minutes and 34 seconds since their departure on 26 August.

After a short rest period, used for the development of the ships, on September 2, the Baie de Sant-Brieuc will become the starting point for the second stage, which will take the participating sailboats to the same Ria de Muros and Noia, after crossing the Channel of La Mancha on a 520-mile (963 km) route, with approximately arrival between the days of 4 and 5 September.

The Ria de Muros- Noia Rural Development Association, made up of the municipalities of Lousame, Porto do Son, Outes, Muros and Noia, promoters of the arrival of the great regatta in Galicia, prepare an intense week of welcome to such distinguished regatists, with a wide programme of activities to be announced in the coming days.

The Solitaire URGO Le Figaro is one of the most prestigious races in the world, considered the cradle in which the best patterns are formed due to its condition of navigation alone, the long stages in miles of journey between ports and the harsh conditions of the Atlantic Sea, are a clear handicap.

This was the first stage, in which some of the participating ships have been forced to leave due to the break of their sticks or candles, with a wind that has exceeded in one of the sections, the 35 knots of intensity.
