After a round-the-world voyage on Kifouine between 2003 and 2006, a sailing record between Brittany and Mauritius with the Défi Intégration in 2010, and then the creation of Team Jolokia in 2011, Éric Bellion set off in 2016 on the Vendée Globe in order to convey a message about the richness of difference.
He finished ninth, first rookie, after 99 days and said at the finish that "doing and experiencing different things with different people, that's where happiness lies."
Four years later, Éric Bellion decided to set up a new IMOCA project with a view to a second participation in the Vendée Globe in 2024, still with the same message and decided to make the world's most solitary competition a collective adventure.
Still under the colors of CommeUnSeulHomme, and supported by the company Altavia, the sailor will take part in all the races of the IMOCA Globe Series from 2022 on board Hubert (Jean Le Cam's IMOCA), then on board a new IMOCA from 2023.
