Nicolas Troussel
Growing up in Baie de Morlaix France, Nicolas has sailing in his blood and has had his sights set on the Vendée Globe for the past 15 years. Since the take-off of his professional career in 2004—catalyzed by his win of the Transat AG2R aboard the Figaro 2—he’s seen the podium numerous times in international races; surprising the industry with his skill and strategy on the water.
The race is an obsession for most solo offshore sailors and for Nicolas the Vendée Globe is ‘The greatest offshore race. The pinnacle of offshore sailing.’ On November 8th Nicolas set sail in his IMOCA class boat Corum L’Epargne from Les Sables-d’Olonne for the race of a lifetime.
