A fast-rising star of the professional ocean racing scene, France's Tom Laperche is taking on his first challenge for The Ocean Race in the 2022-23 edition.
After winning three consecutive editions (2020, 2021, 2022) of the Solo Maître CoQ regatta, and finishing third in both the 2020 and 2021 editions of the prestigious multi-stage solo La Solitaire du Figaro event, Laperche (25) won the 2022 edition in style with a 7, 3, 1 scoresheet.
In 2021 Laperche was chosen by French ocean racing legend François Gabart as his co-skipper on the Ultim SVR Lazartigue for the double-handed Transat Jacques Vabre – where they finished in second place.
