THE ARKEA ULTIM CHALLENGE - BREST WELCOMES A SIXTH CANDIDATE IN THE PERSON OF ERIC PÉRON (ADAGIO)

“_We are delighted with the arrival of a sixth candidate alongside the five already registered. We also welcome with pleasure ADAGIO, a new leading player in offshore racing, reacts Joseph Bizard, General Director of OC Sport Pen Duick, organizer of the event. _This is very good news for the ARKEA ULTIM CHALLENGE – Brest. Of course, for his registration to become definitive, Eric Péron must still subscribe to the administrative formalities of the registration file. He must manage this last sprint before confirming his presence on the starting line on January 7, but he has sufficiently demonstrated his determination to be there to reach the top of this last pass! He will then have until November 15 to complete his 2,500-mile solo qualifying course.

“I am very happy and proud that ADAGIO has chosen to take on this challenge alongside me, it’s excellent news! declares Eric Péron. _I have had this project of participation in the ARKEA ULTIM CHALLENGE - Brest in mind for a long time; we dared to launch it last winter with French Touch Oceans Club, my partner club for five years. Having the trust of ADAGIO, for whom this will be a first experience in ocean racing, is an immense privilege. Participating in this very first solo world tour aboard an ULTIM is not trivial; I know that I will be supported by ADAGIO and all of its collaborators. I look forward to flying their colors high and sharing great moments with them throughout this incredible adventure.”
