    The Black Pearls

    Their playground is the Pacific Ocean

    Proudly Polynesian, fiercely Oceanian

    Located in the middle of South Pacific Ocean, Tahiti is the largest island of French Polynesia. Since Tahitian Sailing Federation split from France’s in the 1980s, a handful of local sailors reached Sailing highest level including World Champion Billy Besson and Team Tahiti skipper Teva Plichart, 2007 European Match-Racing champion and Areva’s wincher at the Louis-Vuitton Challengers. In 2017, team “Treasures of Tahiti” finished 2nd of Tour de France à la Voile. Pitman Manutea Mahai, a young local fisherman, was part of this unorthodox crew nicknamed “the Tahitian Rastarockets” after the 1990s blockbuster by the French press. The SSL Team Tahiti will be a reset of this fantastic project that mixed Tahitian pro with local young amateur sailors. Their objective is to surprise European best teams as perfect underdogs. Tahitians are never as good as when they get together to show the rest of the World their sailing skills.

    The captain

    Teva Plichart

    After racing in Hobie Cat in Tahiti, Teva joined the French national Match-Racing Youth team. He then raced as professional with Paolo Cian winning European Championship in 2006. In 2007, he skipped “Tahiti et ses Îles” on Tour de France à la Voile reaching 2nd place. He renewed the result 10 years later with “Treasures of Tahiti”. From 2016 until 2019, he sailed on Yliam Comptoir Immobilier winning the famous 2021 Bol d’Or.

    The captain

    THE LEADERS

    Yann Rigal
    Match-racing specialist, Yann was with Teva Plichart on Tour de France à la voile in 2007. He now lives in New Caledonia and had the opportunity to race at the Sydney Hobart.

    Manutea Mahai
    He learned sailing only in 2015 but Manutea became a legend in his country when he reached 2nd place at the Tour de France à la voile 2017 and won the local Tahiti Pearl Regatta 2016. With his short but consistent record, he is a reference in the team.

    THE LEADERSTHE LEADERS

    THE YOUTH FACTOR

    Surrounded by the Pacific, Tahiti is the perfect playground for young sailors. The Tahiti Elite Voile program has trained 5 professional sailors, including two local fishermen: Manutea Mahai and his cousin Teahio Mahai. These two talents were part of the Tour Voile 2017 adventure. They will be joined by Tom Lamotte, a promising young Polynesian sailing on France’s Youth Nacra15 team.
