Benjamin Ferré is a Breton sailor and entrepreneur, in love with life... and crazy challenges. After a transatlantic sail with a sextant, a solo round-the-world hitchhiking trip and a crossing of Morocco in a 4L, he launched IMAGO in 2017; the first adventure incubator in France, dedicated to hatching sports, ecological and solidarity exploration projects.
In 2017, he put his first foot in the totally unknown world of ocean racing. 2 years later, he reached the podium of the MINI-TRANSAT 2019 aboard Pile Poil and finished 1st Bizuth.
He then discovered that someone had put everything he loved in life in a box, and had called it: OFFSHORE SAILING!
