What is your motto ?

Be autonomous

How did you come to do this job?

The first time I tried the boat was in sea class in Saint-Brieuc, they made us do optimist, I was 10 years old. It was raining, it was cold and said to myself, "How can I love it?" Fortunately I started water sports again with windsurfing and I loved it. I was then a Sea Scout, and that definitely converted me to sailing! I was then an instructor at the Glénan, then a trainer at the MACIF, and at the same time I did a lot of regattas, including a race on Kriter VIII.
