🔥 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 !

It’s race day! ⛵
The Solo Maitre Coq kicks off today with the first of two inshore races here in Les Sables d’Olonne.

⏳ Next up: Solo Maître CoQ.
After three solid races to launch the season – time to shift gears again.
One week to go, and it’s all about refining the strategy and staying sharp.
Let’s keep pushing.

🏁 Another win at Spi @ouest-france.fr !
This weekend I raced onboard the Figaro 3 “Demain sans HPV”, alongside a serious crew : Franck Cammas helming, Sébastien Col tactician, Eliaz Morineau crew and I was in charge of the sail trim.
Let’s keep the momentum going. More to come 💪

We won the Laura Vergne Trophy! 🏆
No rest though – back on the water with Franck Cammas & Sébastien Col, today & then Spi Ouest-France starts Friday !

✅ 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 ⚔️⛵

270 nautical miles of full-on racing ahead. It’s going to be intense but I’m fired up 🔥

🏁 Next race: Solo Concarneau in 10 days! ⛵

Time to get back in the game! This first race of the season is the perfect opportunity to improve my sharpness after winning La Solitaire.

As defending champion, I know I’ve got a target on my back—but that’s exactly the kind of challenge I thrive on! 💪

🎖 Proud to receive this civic award medal by the City of Concarneau ! Receiving this medal as an Irishman is proof that sport knows no borders and brings our nations even closer together

In 2024, I achieved my dream by winning the Solitaire du Figaro Paprec.

In 2025, I’m back with one mission: to defend my title and join the elite club of double winners! 💪⛵
New boat, fresh branding and the same relentless passion. Let’s do this! 🚀
