The time is right for Kevin Escoffier. A member of the famous Saint Malo sailing dynasty Escoffier has won the Volvo Ocean Race with Dongfeng, the Trophée Jules Verne with Banque Populaire among his many sailing honours. But he is also an in demand composites engineer who ran the Banque Populaire Sailing Team’s design office and so contributed heavily to the success of Armel Le Cléac’h on the last race. He says his choice to try solo racing is about not living with a regret he never tried when he is older.
