History
The trimaran was launched on 20 August 2009 at La Trinité-sur-Mer as Actual, skippered by Yves Le Blevec. It capsized off Cherbourg in November 2009 during the Transat Jacques Vabre, then won the 2011 edition of that race and finished fourth in its category in the 2014 Route du Rhum.
Sold to Armel Tripon, it became Réauté Chocolat in November 2016, was refitted and fitted with foils in 2017, and won its category in the 2018 Route du Rhum.
Sébastien Rogues bought it in 2019 and raced it as Primonial. It finished third in the 2019 Transat Jacques Vabre, underwent a major refit in Nantes in 2020 (new coachroof, new mast, electric motor), was dismasted in May 2021 at the start of a Pro Sailing Tour stage, then won the 2021 Transat Jacques Vabre. It placed third in the 2022 Route du Rhum.
In March 2023 it was relaunched as Lamotte - Le rire médecin with Luke Berry, based in Saint-Malo.
