Don’t you have a feeling of dejà-vu ? Thomas Ruyant, hands up, with his fetish hat, arriving as a winner in a solo race ? Transat 650 2009 ? Yes. One yer after his win in the Mini-Transat, he has won the Route du Rhum. He is the SeaSailSurfer of the month.
Without any bike onboard, Thomas Ruyant has won two single handed races in one year. In 2010, he could have entered in the topof the top Figaro-Bénéteau Circuit. But the young french skipper from Dunkerque choose to enter in the Class40. As he did in the mini circuit, he rent the best boat available, trained a lot and entered a maximum of competitions. The result is there. He won the division with the most entries of the Route du Rhum even if the level cannot be compared to the one-designed Figaro one. Second of the race is the double winner of the Figaro solo race, Nicolas Troussel. So now, Thomas is awaited in this circuit, the Olympics of offshore solo racing. Will he make good results there ? And in how much time ?
