The Beneteau Figaro, also called the Figaro I, the Figaro Solo and officially designated as the Figaro Beneteau, is a French sailboat that was designed by Groupe Finot and Jean Berret as a one design, single-handed, off-shore racer especially for the Solitaire du Figaro race and first built in 1990. The boat and the race are both named for the sponsor of the race, the French newspaper Le Figaro.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
The boat was the official design for the Solitaire du Figaro race from 1990 to 2002. It was replaced by the Beneteau Figaro 2 in 2003.[1][2][3][10][11][12][13]
