Rolex Fastnet Race: A Podium and a Refit Ahead 👇 It's his second race on the IMOCA circuit, and he's once again on the podium! 🥉 Who is he? 🧐 Sam Goodchild, of course! Aboard FOR THE PLANET, the British duo Sam Goodchild and navigator-architect Antoine Koch shone in the Rolex Fastnet Race Cherbourg. Their teamwork performed wonders in this demanding race, securing them the 3rd place in their category. Their well-thought-out strategy and skill in navigating precisely according to weather conditions, along with fierce competition in the IMOCA class, allowed them to stand out brilliantly. ✨ 💬 Sam, at the finish line: "We sailed a clean race, and we're proud of this performance. [...] My confidence and enjoyment of sailing on this boat increase with each outing. We closely observed our competitors and learned from them whenever possible. The end of the race was stressful with the wind dropping and becoming unpredictable. But we stayed united. We finish tired because there was no downtime, but very happy, with heartfelt thoughts for our friends Thomas and Morgan, who suffered damage..." And what about Thomas Ruyant?🤔 A few months ago, Thomas launched his brand new boat For People, and shortly after, he won the first #race of the season, the Guyader Bermudes 1000. 💨 While they were leading the Rolex Fastnet at speeds around 30 knots in challenging wind and sea conditions, the crew had to suddenly abandon the race. Thomas and Morgan faced a structural problem on the boat and changed course to return to Cherbourg. Both #sailors returned safely, and the TR Racing teams will now undertake a summer refit to get Thomas's Imoca back in top shape. 💪 Congratulations again to Sam, Antoine, Thomas and Morgan, and may our skipper's future sea adventures continue to make waves! 🌊⛵️ 👉 Final ranking of the Rolex Fastnet Race: 1- Macif: Dalin - Bidégorry 2- Paprec Arkea: Richomme - Eliès at 4 minutes and 6 seconds. 3- FOR THE PLANET: Sam Goodchild - Antoine Koch at 27 minutes and 7 seconds. 📸 Mark Lloyd / PaulWyeth

What a race! 🏁 1st 🥇 and 3rd🥉 of the Transat Jacques Vabre Normandie Le Havre , out of 40 competitors, what an amazing performance for this first year of our new sailing project We Sail For People and Planet ! Thomas Ruyant, Morgan Lagraviere, Sam Goodchild and Antoine Koch made sporting history with 2 boats on the Podium, bearing the same colors, those of a socially responsible society. They also gave us good lessons. 👉 Of resilience The technical team managing to get the Imoca For People, after the important structure issue they had this gsummer, back into the water just a few days before the race! Thomas and Morgan, the 2 skippers of For People, who only had 2 days of training before the race, and just won it! Sam, skipper of For the Planet, first time racing the TJV on an Imoca, managing to be on the podium, after last year’s injury at the start of the Route du Rhum sailing race! 👉 Of technicity and competition spirit Antoine as architect of 2 Imoca, both on the Podium (For People 1st and its sistership Arkea Paprec 2nd) and co-skipper of the 3rd, For the Planet ! Sam highly technical sailor, leader of the young sailing generation, at ease on all types of craft, already leading the Imoca Globe series championship! Thomas, the king of Transat, amazing competitor, winning race after race: 2 Transat Jacques Vabre (2021 and 2023), 2 Routes du Rhum (2010 and 2022), 1 Transat AG2R (2018), and 1 Mini Transat (2009) 👉 Of Commitment The four of them, with their sporting performance and messages all along the race, succeeded in maximizing media coverage for Réseau Entourage and Team for the Planet, our two social partners. An amazing way to highlight how those 2 causes, fighting exclusion and climate changes, are linked and deserve maximum support from all of us! What a start! These results bode very well for the year ahead, leading up to the next, most emblematic and wildest stage, the Vendée Globe, which will be launched on November 10, 2024. Say tuned! 👀
