Miles Ushaw Racing
2027 Figaro Campaign
British base. French competition. One-design offshore racing.
Miles Ushaw Racing is building a Solent-based Figaro Beneteau 3 campaign for 2027, competing in the UK and France and creating the foundation for a long-term short-handed offshore racing programme.
The season will combine RORC offshore racing and the Rolex Fastnet Race with selected events from the French Figaro circuit, including Solo Guy Cotten and the Tour de Bretagne à la Voile.
Why Figaro?
The Figaro Beneteau 3 is a strict one-design offshore racing yacht.
The boats are effectively identical, performance data is well understood, and results are driven by the sailor rather than differences in design or rating.
That creates a clear performance story built around preparation, navigation, data, decision-making and continuous improvement.
2027 Programme
The campaign will remain based in the Solent, with regular training and partner access throughout the season.
The planned programme includes:
-
RORC offshore racing and Fastnet qualification
-
Rolex Fastnet Race
-
Solo Guy Cotten
-
Tour de Bretagne à la Voile
From Race Team to Race Campaign
Miles Ushaw previously worked in professional offshore racing with Alex Thomson Racing, supporting an IMOCA and Vendée Globe programme across technical preparation, logistics, procurement, budgets, scheduling, race operations and sponsor activity.
Miles Ushaw Racing is the next step: applying that experience to building and competing within a campaign of his own.
A UK–France Platform
The campaign combines a UK base with regular racing in France.
That creates a distinctive platform for businesses operating across both markets - whether supporting UK growth in France, French growth in Britain, or engagement with customers and employees on both sides of the Channel.
