Charlie CAPELLE

Vintage Multi skipper, on ACAPELLA - PROLUDIC - LA CHAINE DE L'ESPOIR, La Trinité sur Mer

For me, the Route du Rhum is an addiction! Except this one doesn’t make you ill...

Biography

In 1980, Charlie went to the United States to join the yard of Walter Greene, the designer & builder of the A'capella series. There he learned the trade, and fate brought him for the first time across what would become the passion of his life, the trimaran ACAPELLA (3rd of the series of 5).

Charlie & Acapella will take the start of the Route du Rhum for the 7th time, so that the feat achieved by Mike BIRCH in 1978 aboard Olympus lives on through it.

No doubt the adventure will be a wonderful one to live, to follow and to tell... Fair winds!
