Nicolas D’ESTAIS
biographie
After two Mini Transat races and four years in Class40, Nico is taking another step at 33 by joining the IMOCA circuit, with the 2028 Vendée Globe firmly in his sights.
This marks a major turning point for Nico, who began his career at McKinsey & Company before leaving it all behind to pursue his childhood dream.
Beyond this personal quest, he is also continuing the adventure he began with Café Joyeux during the 2022 Route du Rhum. Indeed, it is still under these joyful and meaningful colors that he now sets sail on the IMOCA circuit.
