🔥 Race day !
Today I’m heading off with the Charal team for my very first IMOCA Globe Series race: the La Course des Caps - Boulogne sur Mer - Banque Populaire du Nord.
After weeks of training, I feel ready to give it everything, keep learning, and push my limits — proudly flying the Irish flag !

Proud to be part of this amazing crew for La Course des Caps - Boulogne sur Mer - Banque Populaire du Nord with Jérémie Beyou, Lou Berthomieu Figaro and Nicolas Andrieu. A top team, and a big step towards my Vendée Globe dream. 🌍

✅ I finished the #SoloGuyCotten at noon today – my first two nights at sea and in race mode for 2025. 🚀

I crossed the line in 8th place (pending jury confirmation). It was a proper battle all the way to the finish in the Bay of Concarneau ⚔️⛵
