About
Born in 1978, Thibaut grew up in a family of horse riding teachers in Guadeloupe. This is where he spent his childhood and adolescence. He first discovered sailing at the age of 10 during a holiday in Brittany. He joined the Pôle France Espoir in Tornado at the National Sailing School, winning a series of championships in sport catamarans before embarking on Yvan Bourgnon's Team Océan and lending a hand to his friend Fred Duthil. He then enjoyed his very first solo experiences on a Mini 6.50 and a Figaro. He caught the ocean racing bug. In 2012, with Victorien Erussard, he created the Défi Voile Solidaires En Peloton, bearing the colours of the ARSEP Foundation's sports brand: Solidaires En Peloton, first in a F18 catamaran, then in a Class40, and finally in an Ocean Fifty.

The RdR is somewhat my own personal race: I leave from my home in Port Mer, a stone's throw from the Pointe du Grouin, the starting line, and I arrive at my home in Guadeloupe, hence the importance of this solo race for me. In Guadeloupe, I skipped school in 1990 and 1994 to watch the arrivals so I could meet the Florence Arthauds, Peyron brothers, Philippe Poupon, Jean Maurel, and the Laurent Bourgnons.
