DATE OF BIRTH: 11 January 1997
Louise Acker began sailing in the bay of Douarnenez at a very young age. After numerous years in the Optimist class, she transitioned to Laser sailing, where she discovered high-level competition at the Training Center in Le Havre. Moving from the 4.7 to the Laser Radial, Louise engaged in rigorous training sessions and competitions. As she was eligible to compete as a senior sailor, she opted for a different path: Match Racing. Over seven years with the Normandy-based Match in Pink crew led by Pauline Courtois, Louise accumulated numerous titles, including three world championship victories! Remarkably, she achieved these performances while also holding a full-time position at the Normandy Sailing League.
Louise thrived alongside more experienced sailors, and each new experience fueled her interest and passion, such as her first foray into professional sailing with Mathilde Géron and Amélie Riou on the Diam 24 La Boulangère in 2019.
After winning the Océane Challenge of the Région Bretagne – CMB program in December 2023, Louise has benefits from the expertise of Gaston Morvan and Victor Le Pape for one year. She is now ready to tackle new offshore challenges.
