Team Sodebo Sets Ambitious Goals for Upcoming Sailing Season

Team Sodebo Voile embarks on an exciting journey for the 2026 season. Following their record-setting Jules Verne Trophy, they dive into the multihull circuits. Skipper Thomas Coville leads in the Ultim class, while Léonard Legrand takes the helm in the Ocean Fifty class. The highlight is the Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe, kicking off on November 1st.

Currently, the giant trimaran is in the shipyard until the end of June, while Sodebo Fifty launches this Sunday, March 29th, in Lorient. Legrand, a ten-year veteran of Team Voile, aims to master his new role, racing alongside champions Coville, Benjamin Schwartz, Frédéric Denis, and newcomer Charlotte Yven.

Legrand emphasizes the excitement of the upcoming launch and the challenges of the Ocean Fifty’s speed. He looks forward to the Grand Prix races as a vital opportunity to fine-tune the boat and prepare for solo sailing.
