How did the Ocean Race Europe project with Holcim-PRB come about?
I am planning a new project of my own with a new boat of my own to do The Ocean Race around-the-world in 2027 and the Vendée Globe in 2028. So to have the opportunity to sail on an IMOCA as part of the Holcim-PRB crew is a great opportunity. I did a year and a half with Charal [Jérémie Beyou] before the transatlantic [Transat Jacques Vabre 2023]. For sure, the level in this class is increasing every day – we can see that every day when we go sailing against some of our competitors – and so it's important for me to stay in the game, even if it's not my own project. I am also here because with Holcim there is a boat and a crew that can reasonably have the aim of winning the race.
