HUMAN IMMOBILIER

During the 2021 season, culminating in the Transat Jacques Vabre, Antoine Cornic made a variety of purchases for Ebac Literie including a J2 from Charal, a J3 from Banque Populaire, Initiatives Cœur’s mainsail, as well as sails from Ecover (Mike Golding), sistership to Algimouss Spirit of Canada during the Vendée Globe 2008-2009. Prior to the 2022 season, the boat underwent another winter refit (electrics, weight reduction…) in the hands of the small team working for Antoine Cornic, with the help of companies Pochon (electronics) and Incidences (sails) in a shed loaned to the team by Yannick Bestaven in La Rochelle, where Ebac Literie is based. There was further assistance from naval architect Merfyn Owen and class measurer René Boulaire to optimise her for the compulsory 90-degree test. This year, Ebac Literie finished 20th in the Guyader Bermudes 1000 Race, then 16th in the Vendée Arctique Les Sables d’Olonne, earning the skipper from the Ile de Ré his first ever ticket for the Route du Rhum, his main aim in the run-up to the Vendée Globe.
