Baptiste HULIN
biography
Originally from Cholet, Baptiste Hulin made his mark in Match Racing with the APCC Voile Sportive sailing club in Pornichet, becoming French and European Youth Champion. Drawn to offshore sailing, he completed two Transat Jacques Vabre races and a Route du Rhum in the Class40 category before taking the helm of the Ocean Fifty Viabilis Océans in 2024. His progress was rapid: 2nd in the Route des Terres Neuvas in 2024, winner of the Transat Café L'Or and the Ocean Fifty Series championship in 2025. In 2026, he set off solo on the Route du Rhum with one certainty: the best is yet to come!
