The beginnings

He started sailing at 6 during a Summer camp in his hometown (Bassin d’Arcachon, South West France). He didn’t enjoy it at first, but then it grew on him, and the rest is history. The first competitions were successful, and he sailed Opti boats until he was 12. However, he was too heavy, so he sailed on both L’équipe and Laser 4.7 boats.

Career

At 14, he moved to La Rochelle, France, and enrolled in the best Sports study program in Laser Radial.
At 18, he joined French Sailing Team in Laser Standard. He participated in The Olympic World Cup Seasons.
At age 21, he quit the Olympic campaign and started Match Racing with French Team MatchTogether as a bowman. During this period, he met Piotr Harasimowicz and Lukasz Wosinski.
In 2016, he started to sail on foiling boats. Since then, it has become a real passion. He qualified for Team France Jeune and competed in the Red Bull Youth America’s Cup on the legendary AC45f in 2017. During this period, he sailed on foiling boats such as GC32, Flying Phantom, and Foiling Moth.
Next season, he joined Match In Black to compete in World Match Racing Tour as a trimmer. After 3 seasons, the team reached 2nd place on the WMRT Ranking. Simultaneously, he sailed for Paprec Sailing Team on 52Superseries.
In 2022, he continued to sail on foiling boats, mainly on ETF26. Moreover, he sailed on Wally 106ft as a jib trimmer.
