Why This Sport

In my family, we have been sailors for many generations. For my father, my grandfather and my great grandfather sailing has always been a passion. Our family comes from the northern coast of Brittany and we’ve always had sailboats and sailors in our family. I discovered the pleasure of sailing before I could even walk.
