Robin MARAIS

skipper IMOCA, on RESPIRE, La Rochelle

"It is a sad thing to think that nature speaks and that humankind does not listen." Victor Hugo

Biography

Offshore sailor and committed entrepreneur, Robin has been working with the MA CHANCE MOI AUSSI association since the 2018 Route du Rhum to raise awareness among the most vulnerable children about the environmental emergency, particularly the protection of the oceans. With the 2028 Vendée Globe on the horizon, the RESPIRE project has taken shape as a natural progression, transforming his personal history, marked by severe asthma linked to air pollution, into a driving force for action. His round-the-world voyage thus transcends the sporting challenge to become a true message of hope and collective action for the common good.
