Charlotte Yven, a young sailor from Brittany with an engineering background, combines a passion for sailing with strong sporting ambition. As a member of the Skipper Macif program, she is aiming for the world’s greatest offshore races.
Charlotte Yven, 28, is a Breton sailor with a remarkable journey. Originally from Morlaix and a graduate of INSA Rennes, she has successfully combined scientific rigor with a deep passion for sailing. Trained within the prestigious Skipper Macif program, she made history by becoming the first woman to win the Transat Paprec twice in a row: in 2023 with Loïs Berrehar, and again in 2025 with Hugo Dhallenne.
This year, she takes a new step forward by joining the crew of the IMOCA MACIF Santé Prévoyance for the Course des Caps, alongside Sam Goodchild and Loïs Berrehar. This IMOCA experience marks a major milestone toward her ultimate goal: competing in the Vendée Globe.
