Yann is one of those sailors who can create and tell the stories of the sea.
Trained as an electrician, Yann took his first steps in sailing with the Groupama Sailing Team, in the Performance department. He has experience at sea worthy of a great sailor, but has this particularity that the OnBoard Reporter has of covering these miles with their cameras.
Most recently aboard the Maxi Edmond de Rothschild to attempt to break the Jules Verne Trophy record, Yann is now aboard Holcim-PRB with Kevin Escoffier, Abby Elher, Sam Goochild and Charles Caudrelier, whom he knows well, as they have already won a Volvo Ocean Race together in 2012, on Leg 5 of The Ocean Race.

It’s hard to believe that a sailing boat can cover a total distance in 24 hours that would equate to travelling from Paris to Alicante in southern Spain, the home of The Ocean Race, but that is what Holcim-PRB has now do…
