Tom Dolan's third overall in the intense Le Havre Allmer Cup Series in early June was gained against many of the best solo sailors currently at their peak in France. The best of his achievement came in the long offshore race, when he worked his way up through the top half of the fleet with Smurfit Kappa Kingspan in some really hard downwind along the South Coast of England, making up many places to finish second.

The Allmer Cup result moves him up to fourth overall in the ongoing French Elite Solo Championship, which concludes with the Figaro itself in September.
