Breaking news: Transat Jacques Vabre
The famous Transat Jacques Vabre race (across the Atlantic) takes part once every 2 years and is to be ran in duo.
For my first participation ever, I am honored to welcome a famous great sailor as a co-skipper : Roland Jourdain !
We call him « Bilou » in the race world, and apart to be an impressive performer, he is also a great person !
Did you know that my project was hosted in his stable KAIROS for already one year ?
Bilou is also a nature defender and, with his organization « Explore » he works on various « bio-sourced » alternatives for boat construction. (Along with so many more missions)
I have so much to learn from him !
He has participated to 4 Vendee Globe, he won 2 Jacques Vabre and 2 Route du Rhum : one in 2010 onboard Freelance.com !!! Yes, my boat ! At that time it was called ‘Veolia’ ;)
I am so looking forward to start training with him but there is other races before (like the Rolex Fastnet) and also a race against the watch to get Freelance.com fixed on time !
See you at sea !
