Profile
Single-handed, double-handed, crewed, across the Atlantic or around the world... At the age of 39, Sébastien Marsset is one of those all-round skippers, renowned for his ability to shine both at the head of his own project and as a first-rate crew member on prestigious teams.
In just over ten years, he has gone from a first transatlantic race in a Mini (a 6.50 metre sailboat) to a round-the-world record aboard Spindrift, a 40 metre trimaran, raced in two Volvo Ocean Races and contested the 2019 Transat Jacques Vabre in the IMOCA class.
Versatile on the water, Sebastien is also versatile on land, showing the same dedication in his physical preparation as in his study of the weather, the same enthusiasm in the technical management of his projects as in his relationships with his partners. Married with two children, it is in this spirit of perfection that he has set himself the clear goal of lining up at the start of the Vendée Globe 2024.
