As a structural and composites engineer and sports lover, Sébastien Simon discovered sailing as a child. Driven by competition, it is offshore racing that catches his interest. In 2018, he won the Solitaire du Figaro and the title of Elite French Ocean Racing Champion, a victory that led to his entry into the IMOCA class. In 2020, he took the start of the Vendée Globe, but his attempt was ended off the Cape of Good Hope when he was in 4th place in the fleet. Undaunted, Sébastien is a candidate for the 2024 edition.
