Vendée Globe track record:

1st participation in 2024

French

Age:23

Despite her record-breaking youth, the youngest member of the fleet was acclaimed by Jean Le Cam. She has been a keen competitor since she was a child, and the call of the open sea made her long to take the plunge. The skipper will use the race’s visibility to speak out on behalf of young people in difficulties, as well inclusion and integration.
