Fabrice AMEDEO

Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe, Transat Jacques Vabre, first off in Class40 and then in Imoca, Fabrice has navigated his way along through application and hard work, making the summit of his own personal Everest in the winter of 2016-2017. 11th in the last Vendée Globe, he joined the inner circle of circumnavigators, commanding respect and carrying along a great many people with him in his journey to make a childhood dream come true.

A few months later, still driven by a desire to progress, Fabrice bought a ‘foiler’, one of the latest-generation flying boats. Sticking to the idea of pushing the envelope and also sharing his salty adventure with as many people as possible, he took the start of La Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe in 2018, a year they both celebrated their 40th birthday.

Competitor at heart, Fabrice Amedeo must resolve to abandon the Vendée Globe 2020-21 because of a computer problem while he was at the entrance of the South Seas. "It's a difficult decision to make but one that I accept. I know I'm going to bounce back." Fabrice Amedeo will be back on the water in 2021!
