Class40 skipper, on BARCO BRESIL, Lorient

"If you want to achieve something you've never had, you have to try something you've never done."

Biography

My early days sailing Optimists and then 420s on the international circuit forged my passion for competition and the open sea. As a professional sailor, I've sailed on a wide variety of boats, from deliveries and races to offshore voyages around the world. As skipper of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, this round-the-world adventure was a defining moment in my career. The Route du Rhum now represents a new chapter on a path driven by a passion for the ocean and a taste for challenge.
