ALL ACCESS #13 with Romain Attanasio
Let's dive into the thrilling preparations for the Vendée Globe. For IMOCA skippers, the year 2024 holds paramount significance, marking the pinnacle of their efforts. Sailing solo around the world is their ultimate ambition, and reaching the starting line is their first victory.
ALL ACCESS is the web series produced by IMOCA in partnership with Harken. Its goal is to immerse you in the world of the skippers and the behind-the-scenes of their teams throughout the year, at the heart of their intense preparation for the major challenge that awaits them at the end of the year.
In September, during the Défi Azimut-Lorient Agglomération, Romain Attanasio, skipper of Fortinet-Best Western, saw his IMOCA dismast, jeopardizing his participation in the upcoming Vendée Globe. With only two months before the start, a race against time begins. Finding a new mast, repairing his boat, remaking the sails, and securing the necessary funds become top priorities. This new episode of the IMOCA series "ALL ACCESS", in partnership with Harken, reveals his resilience and the actions taken to overcome this major last-minute setback.
