Accomplished French ocean racer Anthony Marchand is taking on his second edition of The Ocean Race having been part of the Spanish syndicate MAPFRE in the 2014-15 race.

Marchand (37) campaigned for the Olympics in the 470 class before switching his attention to offshore sailing. Since then he has established an enviable reputation across a range of events including: the Solitaire du Figaro, where he has been a regular Solitaire podium finisher in recent years, as well as in 2018 finishing runner up in the prestigious (32) Championnat de France Elite de Course au Large; and in larger boats like the IMOCA (where he raced the 2019 Transat Jacques Vabre with Giancarlo Pedote (ITA) on Prysmian Group) and the maxi-multihull Ultim class where he co-skippered the Ultim Actual with fellow Frenchman Yves Le Blevec.
