SKIPPER
ERIC MONNIN

Eric Monnin learned sailing at the age of six on his family’s Surprise yacht, similar to a J24, but also tried his hand in the Optimist, Laser and 470 dinghy classes. For Monnin, match racing has always been a family affair with his father, two brothers and, more recently, his wife.

Eric has a PhD in physics and works as an engineer when he isn’t sailing, however, his focus for the past decade has been on match racing. Eric is considered among the best monohull match racing sailors, and a familiar face on the World Match Racing Tour with his regular Swiss Match Racing Team. Since joining the tour in 2006, he has always finished in the top 20. Other notable wins include the Teamwork Geneva Match Race (2014), Knickerbocker Cup (2014,15), Championnat de France Elite (2016), Thompson Cup (2018), CER Match Race Cup (2018), Match Race Germany and the European Match Racing Championship (2018, 19, 22)

Eric and the team finished 5th at the 2023 57th Congressional Cup in Long Beach, CA and 5th at the 71st edition of the Bermuda Gold Cup, qualifying him to the WMRT Final in Shenzhen, China.
