Alexis THOMAS

Class40 skipper, on AfterData-Elcia, La Rochelle

In life, as at sea, there are always two paths before us, one difficult and the other easy. If we take the harder one, we have every chance of making the right choice. - Oliver de Kersauson

Biography

From the Optimist to the 470, by way of the Laser and the 420, I discovered sailing at the age of 6. After a sports-study program in La Rochelle, then naval architecture studies in Southampton, I pursued Olympic sailing and my studies side by side.

Since 2021, I have been racing in the Figaro Bénéteau 3. After 6 seasons in the Figaro, in 2026 I took 2nd place in the Solitaire du Figaro and the title of French Elite Offshore Racing Champion.

Michel Desjoyeaux then entrusted me with his Class40 for my first Route du Rhum.
