About
Erwan Le Roux has built up a solid track record with, in particular, three first places in the Tour de France à la Voile (in 2008, 2009 and 2014) and as many victories in the famous Transat Jacques Vabre (2009, 2013 and 2015) , but also a tremendous success on the mythical Route du Rhum 2014 with a reference time on the course in the Multi50 category (11 days, 5 hours, 13 minutes and 55 seconds). In 2021, back on the Ocean Fifty circuit after two years of absence, the skipper Trinitain continued to expand his nautical CV by signing a fine second place in the 15th edition of the Transat Jacques Vabre, less than two half past the first after 15 days at sea. This year, he is aiming for victory in the Pro Sailing Tour events and hopes to regain the title on the most legendary of single-handed transats.

Crossing the Atlantic alone is a team bond. On land, it's a project that requires unfailing preparation of the men and women around the skipper, a professional and often personal commitment. At sea, the adrenaline aroused by a solo race on a trimaran sets the tempo. Leading an Ocean Fifty solo is a real commitment, a work of balance at all times. When the finish line is crossed, an entire ecosystem comes together: the family, the team, the partners and the entire remote community.
