Teasing Machine

Initially they joined the 52 SUPER SERIES in 2024 to sharpen up their inshore game ahead of their 2025 Admiral’s Cup campaign but Eric De Turckheim’s French Teasing Machine loved it so much they are back to race the 2026 season with full focus.

The successful crew which had already  collected many honours from the world’s biggest and most prestigious offshore races including the likes of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Race, the Rolex Fastnet Race, the Rolex Middle Sea Race, Caribbean 600, RORC Transatlantic Race and most recently the Round Ireland race.  From their NMD 54 offshore boat they have moved to the Botin designed former Gladiator which they raced in 2024 for the first time in Puerto Portals. Under project manager Laurent Pages, Team Teasing Machine have a crew which has sailed tens of thousands of offshore miles together. They have upped their game over their 2025 regattas and show every sign of being competitive with the top teams if they can improve their consistency.
