After kicking off his season in Concarneau with a 7th place finish at the Solo Guy Cotten, Tom Dolan continues his 2025 campaign with a new event: the Trophée Laura Vergne, taking place from April 3rd to 6th at La Trinité-sur-Mer.

He'll be competing double-handed alongside co-skipper, Gildas Mahé, a promising collaboration between two experienced Figaro sailors.

This regatta is an important step in Tom's preparation for the 2025 race season. As the 2024 Solitaire du Figaro Paprec winner, Tom is targeting back-to-back victories this year.

Every race offers a chance to fine-tune both boat settings and strategy toward that major goal.
