Thimoté POLET

Class40 skipper, on TEAM ZEISS, Le Havre

"Being serious without taking oneself too seriously"

Biography

Bitten by the sailing and racing bug as a child, Thimoté moved into offshore racing in 2021 after collecting several national and international titles in the Optimist, 420 and Match Race, as well as a win in the 2019 Rolex Fastnet Race. Leading his own project since 2023, he has racked up strong results, double-handed and solo, aboard the Class40 Team ZEISS, launched in December 2024. Alongside his sailing, the Le Havre native is a second-year Master's student in Finance at Grenoble École de Management and president of the SNPH.
