ALL ACCESS #7 with Justine Mettraux
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 new 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 this new episode of ALL ACCESS, dive into the action with Justine Mettraux, the talented Swiss sailor, as she prepares to take on one of the most prestigious sailing races in the world: the Bol d'Or. Used to crewed sailing, Justine is now preparing to sail solo for the upcoming Vendée Globe aboard her IMOCA Teamwork - Team SNEF.
However, with a family passionate about competitive sailing, it was hard to resist the call of Lake Geneva and the challenge of the Bol d'Or Mirabaud 2024. Just a few days after her arrival in Les Sables d'Olonne following the New York Vendée, we find her back home in Switzerland.
