A technology nut, this native of Saint Malo has already been part of the PRB team, playing a role in the construction of Vincent Riou’s Farr design for the Vendée Globe 2006. It’s at the helm of the VPLP/ Verdier design launched in 2010 (the last PRB helmed by Vincent Riou), that Kévin will take on this mighty challenge: his first Vendée Globe!
