Fabrice Cahierc, skipper of 'Realites', has a passion for sailing but also a sense of humour. In fact, it makes him laugh when we remind him that, in his extensive racing career, he loves a good fight, having won the Coupe des Châtaignes several times! " Nice little regatta on the Erdre, smiles the sailor from Malouin, who has a licence with SNO Nantes. But it's still a high level, in J22, not a sausage regatta!. A sign that the guy likes self-mockery, but also likes a good fight. On the water, that is. This sailing enthusiast "in competition" In 30 years, he has raced on all types of multihulls from 18 to 60 feet. And even in the ORMA class (60-foot multihulls).  "Which, for an amateur, isn't too bad, is it? "laughs the man who one day went from being a contractor to an entrepreneur. In 2017, he built an Ocean Fifty (which would later win the Route du Rhum in 2022 with Erwan Le Roux under the name Koesio). And to sail as Gilles Lamiré's crew on GCA to get the hang of it. 6th in the 2018 Multihull Grand Prix at home, in Saint-Malo, then 7th in the 2022 ProSailing Tour. Meanwhile, in 2021, he decided to build his own Ocean Fifty alongside Groupe Realites, the sistership to 'Koesio'. In 2023, for his first ocean race, it will be 2nd place in the Transat Jacques Vabre, in a duo with the experienced Aymeric Chappellier. A team-mate, or even better, a double, which he is now reunited with, on the circuit of the brand new Ocean Fifty Series, of which he is one of the designers, along with Sébastien Rogues, within the class. As for the MEDMAX Occitanie - Saïdia Resorts, he's taking it very seriously. "Sailing in the Mediterranean isn't easy. I know it can be difficult, and I dread it a little. I know what it's like. Aymeric and I are preparing for it as well as we can, with a lot of seriousness. Sailing first. As for the humour, we'll see at the finish.
