"For this second transatlantic in Figaro, I am returning with more experience and a desire to focus on performance, rather than on discovery as in the edition two years ago. I hope to find a crew member who shares the same state of mind. I have a surprise for you...!"
Maël took part in the Transat Paprec 2023, with Julia Courtois. They came 7th in this 16th edition of the race, the first in mixed doubles.
Maël has been sailing since he was little, but it was in 2019 that he got a taste of the Figaro support for an outing. It was a real favorite, he set up a project the following year to participate in the Solitaire du Figaro 2021 and was one of the youngest sailors involved.
In 2024, he notably finished 7th in the Le Havre - Allmer Cup and 19th in the Solitaire du Figaro Paprec. His fourth season on Figaro3 in 2025 will be oriented towards "PERFORMANCE".
