Renamed BNC - my::Net, this JPK 10.80 will be sailed double handed for the first time in the race by Michel Quintin and Yann Rigal. As Banque De Nouvelle-Caledonie, she last did the race in 2017, with Quintin skippering her to 30^th overall, winning Division 4, and setting the race record for yachts under 11 metres. The record still stands at 3 days 3 hours 22 minutes and 9 seconds.

Under the ownership of Gery Trentesaux and co-skippered by Quintin when known as Courrier Leon in 2015, she finished second overall to again win Division 4. Led by Quintin, she also finished first in ORCi in the 2016 Groupama Race around New Caledonia and third in IRC, demonstrating how good JPK yachts are. Quintin, the 1987 and 1990 Windsurfer world champ, campaigned for the Olympics in the Mistral sailboard until 1996.
