Just two years after his arrival on the Multi50 circuit, Armel and his Multi50 Réauté Chocolat won the Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe 2018 in 11 days 7 hours 32 minutes and 40 seconds!
At 42, skipper Armel Tripon is now at the head of the Imoca L’Occitane preparing to confront the Everest of the Seas: the Vendée Globe.
