On September 21, the 25th edition of the Mini-Transat, the legendary solo sailing race, will set off from Les Sables-d’Olonne (Vendée). On the program: more than 4,000 nautical miles (7,000 km) across the Atlantic, alone on a 6.50 m boat, bound for Guadeloupe with a stopover in the Canary Islands!
When Clothilde-Marie, from Saint-Georges-des-Groseillers (Orne), told us about her boat Matilda and her bold project — crossing the Atlantic while supporting the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA), which supports people affected by motor neuron diseases — it was obvious: we wanted to be part of the adventure!
Clothilde-Marie discovered sailing step by step, starting in childhood when she accompanied her father to the start of the Route du Rhum.
Today, at 27, she is preparing to cross the Atlantic single-handed. A daring challenge that we are proud to support.
