What a race! 🏁 1st 🥇 and 3rd🥉 of the Transat Jacques Vabre Normandie Le Havre , out of 40 competitors, what an amazing performance for this first year of our new sailing project We Sail For People and Planet ! Thomas Ruyant, Morgan Lagraviere, Sam Goodchild and Antoine Koch made sporting history with 2 boats on the Podium, bearing the same colors, those of a socially responsible society. They also gave us good lessons. 👉 Of resilience The technical team managing to get the Imoca For People, after the important structure issue they had this gsummer, back into the water just a few days before the race! Thomas and Morgan, the 2 skippers of For People, who only had 2 days of training before the race, and just won it! Sam, skipper of For the Planet, first time racing the TJV on an Imoca, managing to be on the podium, after last year’s injury at the start of the Route du Rhum sailing race! 👉 Of technicity and competition spirit Antoine as architect of 2 Imoca, both on the Podium (For People 1st and its sistership Arkea Paprec 2nd) and co-skipper of the 3rd, For the Planet ! Sam highly technical sailor, leader of the young sailing generation, at ease on all types of craft, already leading the Imoca Globe series championship! Thomas, the king of Transat, amazing competitor, winning race after race: 2 Transat Jacques Vabre (2021 and 2023), 2 Routes du Rhum (2010 and 2022), 1 Transat AG2R (2018), and 1 Mini Transat (2009) 👉 Of Commitment The four of them, with their sporting performance and messages all along the race, succeeded in maximizing media coverage for Réseau Entourage and Team for the Planet, our two social partners. An amazing way to highlight how those 2 causes, fighting exclusion and climate changes, are linked and deserve maximum support from all of us! What a start! These results bode very well for the year ahead, leading up to the next, most emblematic and wildest stage, the Vendée Globe, which will be launched on November 10, 2024. Say tuned! 👀
