Franck Cammas (born 22 December 1972 in Aix-en-Provence) is a French yachtsman.[1] He has lived in Brittany since his victory in the Challenge Espoir Crédit Agricole in 1994. After completing a two-year maths course for the ‘Grandes écoles’, as well as a piano academy, Franck Cammas finally opted for a career in sailing. In 1997, at the age of 24, he won the Solitaire du Figaro and a year later helmed his first trimaran christened Groupama. Despite his late entry into competition, he is one of the most talented and respected sailors in the Ocean Racing Multihull Association world.

Later, Cammas was skipper of the Шаблон:Convert trimaran Groupama 2, with which he won five ORMA championships. His last trimaran, the Шаблон:Convert Groupama 3 was designed to break ocean racing records. Groupama 2 holds the record for being the fastest yacht in a transat Jacques Vabre race and Groupama 3 once broke Jules Verne Trophy, which she held for nearly two years.

In 2010, became testimonial and tester of technical sportswear for SLAM, Italian company producer of sailing technical sportswear.

After winning Route du Rhum and the Jules Verne Trophy in 2010, Cammas has switched from multihull to monohull racing and won the 2011–12 Volvo Ocean Race[2] with the Open 70 Groupama 4.

Cammas is involved in the 2017 America's Cup as a skipper for Groupama Team France.[3]
