experience & training

sport and sailing

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.

Ocean fifty

In 2023, Luke and his partners decided to change the boat and steer the project towards the Ocean Fifty. This boat is a perfect match for Luke, combining impressive speed and versatility, performing equally well on the high seas as on coastal courses. It also offers the unique opportunity to take more people on board, sharing the experience of high-performance sailing.

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.
