The renowned French Skipper, Jeremie Beyou, on the Hyundai Boat, a Leopard 47 yacht with an all Seychellois crew, won the 2011 Seychelles Regatta by just 2 seconds ahead of Michel Desjoyeaux on his Nicholas Feuillate Yacht.

The Hyundai boat is owned by Cedric Dโ€™Offay and Paul Hodoul who are the Seychelles agents for Hyundai. Cedric Dโ€™Offay was part of the all Seychellois crew, and they have successfully defended their title as winners of the 2010 Regatta.

Two Seychelles boats competed in the 2011 Regatta, the Hyundai and the MAIA Resort boats. Alain St.Ange, CEO of the Seychelles Tourism Board, said at the closing ceremony of the 2011 Regatta that the Hyundai team and Jeremie Beyou did Seychelles proud by being the proud winners of the Regatta for two years running.
