Loïs Berrehar is back on the Figaro circuit with the same irrepressible desire to give his all and surpass himself. The Tours native, who grew up in Quiberon Bay, loves being at sea, and his CV is the best illustration of this. After a transatlantic crossing with his family at the age of ten, he gained experience on all types of boats. At 31, he can boast of having already sailed in Ocean Fifty, Class40, VOR70, IMOCA and Ultim. But it is thanks to the Figaro that he has gained experience and forged the strong character of an offshore racer. Over the course of his seven seasons, including six Solitaire du Figaro races, Loïs has established himself as a competitor and improved all the elements necessary for performance. He has racked up numerous honourable placings in the Solitaire: 2nd rookie (2018), 3rd (2023), 2nd after two stage victories (2024). Loïs also distinguished himself by winning the Transat Paprec (2023) and the Solo Guy Cotten (2024). A former member of the Macif Selection, Loïs joined Team Banque Populaire with the ambition of competing in the next Vendée Globe. While his new IMOCA is being prepared, he hopes to continue Banque Populaire's successful history in the Figaro class. Loïs is determined to fight for victory and add his name to the list of winners of the Solitaire du Figaro.
