Profile
Louis Duc is a self-made sailor who has always managed to accomplish a lot with limited resources. Determined and independent, this native of Normandy knows that everything comes in good time to those who know how to work and train. However, the beaten track is not for him. Bold and thoughtful, Louis does not see his life as an offshore racer without technological challenges. Offshore, he is definitely in his element. On shore, he is an entrepreneur. In a team he listens, respects... and makes himself respected. At sea as well as on shore, he has the audacity of his ideas.
