LUKE BERRY

Luke has 10 years experience in offshore racing projects, particularly in Mini 6.50 and Class 40. He holds a degree in engineering and naval architecture, and was sales manager of the SME HydrOcean for 7 years.
In sport, Luke distinguished himself by being ranked 4th in the windsurfing world championship in 2006, where he worked as a high-level athlete for 4 years. He also obtained 13 podiums during the 2014 and 2015 seasons, and rose to 2nd place in the Mini Transat in 2015 in the prototype category.
In the Class40, Luke has claimed 11 podiums, including 3 notable victories in the Rolex Fastnet Race, the Spi Ouest France and the 40 Malouine Lamotte. He has also raced 5 transatlantic races, placing 6th and 7th in the Route du Rhum in 2018 and 2022, and finishing 5th in the Transat Jacques Vabre in 2021. He has achieved 3rd place in the Class40 championship twice, in 2018 and 2021.
As a crew member on the Ocean Fifty ARSEP, Luke participated in the Grand Prix de Saint-Quay in 2020 and the Mediterranean leg of the Pro Sailing Tour in 2022.
Today what I like is sailing, sharing with my partners. And the Ocean Fifty meets both of these points. I am not a multihull specialist, I have done very little. On the other hand, I was a windsurfer and there is a lot of speed and I like that. We combine speed and competition with the Ocean Fifty.
