Franck is one of the most talented and respected sailors in the Ocean Racing Multihull Association world. At the age of 24, he won the Solitaire du Figaro and a year later helmed his first trimaran christened Groupama.

Later, Cammas was skipper of the 60-foot trimaran Groupama 2, with which he won five ORMA championships. His last trimaran, the 103-foot Groupama 3 was designed to break ocean racing records. Groupama 2 holds the record for being the fastest yacht in a transat Jacques Vabre race and Groupama 3 once broke Jules Verne Trophy, which she held for nearly two years.

After winning Route du Rhum and the Jules Verne Trophy in 2010, Cammas has switched from multihull to monohull racing and won the 2011–12 Volvo Ocean Race with the Open 70 Groupama 4.

He has now teamed up with Sophie de Turckheim a 3 time Laser Radial World Champion runner-up on the new Nacra 17 Class, and is busy training for Rio.

Franck is also competing in the C-Class cats and aiming for a Wold Championship in the little Americas Cup.
