"Never give up"
Djemila TASSIN
biography
Passionate about the oceans since childhood, raised between Belgium and the Canary Islands, I've always dreamed of offshore sailing. A graduate in marine science, I'm fortunate to have become a sailor, but my scientific perspective allows me to better understand the marine environment and the changes taking place within it. My dual objective in this race: to finish as the first boat of the older generation and to prepare for my next step: a solo round-the-world voyage. You can recognize me by my golden curls, my big smile, and my trilingual communication skills!
