Versatile, he is equally at ease on one or more hulls...After starting on the Figaro circuit at the end of the 90's, Damian laps around the world on the 2001-2002 Volvo Ocean Race.
Strengthened by this experience he joins Karine Fauconnier's team, with whom he will sail for three seasons on board her 60-foot
multihull. One especially remembers Sergio Tacchini's victory in the 2004 Quebec-Saint-Malo.
Committed to offshore
for good, Damian never misses an opportunity to set off around the world. So in 2003 he comes on board Steve Fossett's maxi-catamaran
Cheyenne for a 58-day lap! Present on the last edition of the Volvo Ocean Race with Ericsson, it will be with Jean-Pierre,
for the occasion of the Barcelona World Race next November, that he will once again sail the southern seas.
Already
present on board Groupama 2 last year for the Grand Prix de Fécamp, Damian is one of the five sailors chosen by Franck to
accompany him offshore on the AS Lease Challenge. His fine helming and his multihull experience will be an undeniable asset
to the crew.
