Louis Duc FR

Year of birth : 1983

Presentation

A professional skipper for the past fifteen years, this self-made sailor has always managed to do a lot with little. Determined, autonomous, authentic and talented, Louis knows perfectly well that everything comes to those who know how to work and train.

This Norman is not a fan of the beaten track. Bold, curious and thoughtful, he cannot conceive of his life as an ocean racer without technological and strategic challenges.

Offshore, he is like a fish in water. A world that he masters perfectly and that he loves to share with others, to share all the pleasures and the infinite subtleties of offshore sailing.

On land, he is an entrepreneur. He has the audacity of his ideas and knows how to gather a close-knit team around him to carry out his projects. Louis is notably behind the design of the Lift40, an innovative Class40 that won the last Route du Rhum.
