Axel TRÉHIN

Class40 skipper, on Exalt, La Trinité-sur-Mer

"We can always achieve more than we think we can."

Biography

Search as I might, I never found a "school for becoming an offshore racer". So at 19, I pooled my first shipyard wages - 2,000 euros, quite a sum! - to buy the wreck of a Mini 6.50 and rebuild it over 3 years. I got a taste of competition, and that was it... Since then, I have taken on project after project, my boats have grown, and I have grown too as a sailor and competitor, but I keep this dual role of sailor and boatbuilder, which means I know my boats inside out. This Class40 was born after a fire in which I lost everything except what matters most: my path!
