Class40 World Championship crosscall crowned champion

18/06/2022
Championnat du monde class40 crosscall sacré champion

A year after its launching, the class40 Crosscall Won, this weekend in La Rochelle, the world championships in its category. A title that validates the full potential of this prototype combining innovation and sustainability but also that of its skipper with an atypical profile. After his two titles of world champions of Freeride skiing, Aurelien Ducroz adds a new world title to his record demonstrating once again his thirst for victory and his ability to carry out ambitious projects.

Aurélien Ducroz : "I experienced two world champion titles in skiing, it's the first by boat, it's extraordinary! We sailed well during the first three days of the championship with three beautiful heats still in the leading group. It played a lot on the maneuvers and we were quite good on this. We are necessarily frustrated not to do more, now we can only be happy with the result! Running in a crew reminded me of the Tour de France by sailing that I made in Diam24 three years in a row ... We find reflexes even if this is a little physical on these boats, but it was very pleasant. The collaboration with Vincent Riou was just extraordinary. Navigating with someone who has so much experience is a real chance and a real pleasure. Also, I thank him very much as well as all the others who have been on board, David Sineau, Eric Levet, Thomas Audren without forgetting my Boat Captain Jonathan Chodkiewiez with whom I am very happy to have been able to share that moment. I am super proud to bring this title of world champion to this beautiful project that we have set up since last year with my partners Crosscall Sailing Team, Crosscall In mind which was the first to trust me in the project to build our prototype. ”
