Pierre-Edouard Regaud began his professional career in 1999 in the French Navy, first as a junior Commando marine, then as a combat swimmer in the Special Forces, and finally as a watch officer on the deck of a ship until the end of his military career, in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once left the army \u2013 after eleven years of traveling around the world in symbiosis with the sea, between surface navigation and scuba diving \u2013 the transition to the world of sailing as a professional navigator appeared more than natural to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concomitantly with his activity as a sailor, Pierre-Edouard also began building models of ocean-going boats, first as a hobby and later as a profession. In 2016, he created a Class40 model, the POGO S3, for a friend of his who, enthusiastic about the result, also commissioned the real model for the following regatta season and for a round-trip transatlantic voyage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rest is history: Pierre-Edouard quickly became a technical instructor and boat captain, accumulating increasingly more experience and technical know-how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2022 Regaud has worked with Alberto Bona in the preparation of the IBSA Class40 \u2013 a Mach 5, successor to the Mach 4 and first evolution of the new \u201cscow\u201d hulls, with their innovative lines and large bow volumes for a better performance in many sailing points \u2013 which took Alberto to the Route du Rhum 2022. IBSA\u2019s is not the first scow-bowed hull that Pierre-Edouard has followed-up once out of the shipyard: in the winter of 2022, in fact, he prepared the Class40 POGO S4, a latest generation boat, with which he also had the opportunity to try out a new way of sailing, and therefore a new way of approaching the preparation of an ocean racing boat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
