Biography
Pierre Leboucher is at once a skipper, a sailor and an engineer. Since the age of 11, he has competed on lakes, bays and oceans, a love affair that has never faded. Whether it is his final at the London Olympic Games, his stage wins in the Solitaire du Figaro or his record in the Trophée Jules Verne with Sodebo Voile, competition has always fuelled the realisation of his dreams.
