Yoann Richomme (born 12 July 1983 in Frejus) is a French navigator, sailor and yacht skipper. He has won the Solitaire du Figaro in 2016 and 2019 and the Route du Rhum in the Class 40 category in 2018 and 2022. In the Imoca class, he won the Retour à la Base 2023 and The Transat 2024.[1]

Career

[edit]

Richomme studied as a naval architect at Southampton Solent University, and was later involved in the development of the Beneteau Figaro 3 yacht.[2]

On 4 February 2020 it was announced that Richomme will skipper the Mirpuri Foundation Racing Team's 'Racing for the Planet' boat in the 2021 running of The Ocean Race.[3][4] As such, Richomme will skipper the Mirpuri Foundation Racing Team's first full team entry in the race, having previously had involvement in the Turn the Tide on Plastic entry in the 2018 race.[5][6][7]

With his sights set on competing in the Vendée Globe 2024-2025, he had an Imoca built, based on designs by Antoine Koch and the Finot-Conq firm. His two sponsors, the Arkéa and Paprec groups, set up a joint subsidiary in Lorient dedicated to their ocean racing project. Construction begins at Multiplast in Vannes in January 2022. The Imoca Paprec Arkéa is launched on February 22, 2023.
