"When everything seems to be going against you, remember that airplanes always take off into the wind."
Louis Burton
biography
Born in the Paris region and a Breton by adoption, Louis Burton is embarking on his 5th Route du Rhum at 41 years old, with a brand new challenge: his first participation in an Ultim trimaran under the colors of Armand Thiery. A committed and audacious skipper, he enjoys bold courses and demanding adventures. True to his values of courage, teamwork, and passing on his knowledge, Louis approaches this edition with humility, driven by the desire to discover a new dimension of offshore racing, starting from Saint-Malo.
