Tom Laperche is flying above the water at the start of the Figaro season. Already winner of the Solo Maître CoQ last month, the skipper of Région Bretagne – CMB Performance won the Le Havre Allmer Cup this Saturday. And with style, since he won the big off-shore race (450 miles between Needles Fairway, Eddystone and the Jument des Héaux de Bréhat) as well as the two coastal courses of the Normandy event. Lois Berrehar (Macif Skipper 2021) and Guillaume Pirouelle (Normandy region) complete the podium.
«It’s quite rare in an event of the French Elite Offshore Racing Championship to succeed in making a clear round. The last time I achieved this type of performance was when I was racing in Open Bic or windsurfing. Definitely, it’s fun! », savored the Morbihannais after his impressive hat-trick. After two 3rd places in 2020 and 2021, the co-skipper of François Gabart on SVR Lazartigue will be aiming for victory in the Solitaire du Figaro (August 21-September 9).
