Biography

Anthony Marchand became skipper of Actual Ultim 4 through his own efforts alone: no one in his family had ever set foot on the water before him. In 2009, he won the Challenge Espoir Région Bretagne Crédit Mutuel in Figaro 2. In his first season on the Figaro Bénéteau circuit, he finished as the top rookie of La Solitaire du Figaro. In 2020 he made his debut in big multihulls. After three years within Team Actual, he was entrusted with the helm of the trimaran in 2023 by his predecessor, Yves Le Blevec.
