VULNERABLE - TR Racing (FRA)

TR Racing, based in Lorient, France, was founded in 2018 by Thomas Ruyant and Alexandre Fayeulle and is managed by Thomas Gavériaux. The team is actively involved in scientific projects on ocean health and collects important data during regattas. 

“While the Vendée Globe has committed all of TR Racing's (TRR) resources, we are now planning the next three seasons,” says Thomas Gavériaux, CEO of TRR. “After Thomas and Sam Goodchild's solo circumnavigation in winter 2024, we will switch to crewed mode and take part in the Ocean Race Europe in 2025, the Ocean Race Atlantic between New York and Barcelona in 2026 and finally the Ocean Race in 2027. We will be competing in the Ocean Race Europe with Thomas' current boat and are in the process of designing and building a new boat for 2026.”

43-year-old Thomas Ruyant is the skipper of one of the most prominent teams in this year's The Ocean Race Europe. He has already competed in several prestigious races, including the Vendée Globe, where he finished seventh last year, as well as several top ten finishes in the Vendée Globe and victories in other major regattas such as the Transat Jacques Vabre. He also took part in the first edition of the Ocean Race 2021.
“With the three events in The Ocean Race programme in 2025, 2026 and 2027 it will be a big change, from the solo focus we have now to racing around Europe and then around the world. I’m excited and looking forward to sharing this challenge with the whole team.”
