Embarquez, et on va traverser l'atlantique!!

<p> It is a challenge out of the ordinary: 2 years of physical, psychological and technical preparation. But first of all, it is a human adventure with one main goal: Make you dream! Join us to cross the Atlantic, and let’s write this story all together!</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> I am 23 years old, and I am now studying a master degree in Business and Administration in Sweden. I’ve been sailing since I was 4 years old, and the sea is my playing field. 2 years ago I started this project in order to defend the offshore sailing values, and to provide you with new dreams. Self-support, communication, sharing, respect, and self-transcendence make this story a real life lesson.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><u>The Mini Transat: 1 Man, 1 Boat, 1 Ocean</u></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> The Mini Transat is an offshore race, performed alone on a 21ft boat. From Douarnenez to Point-a-Pitre in Guadeloupe, 3 600 miles, 20/25 days alone on this nutshell. The requirement of this race is that we don’t have any contact with the rest of the world; we only use a very simple system of navigation.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> It is an amazing experience pushing our limits. 24/7 of sailing: it is a human challenge.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Carto_mini2013_2100" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/68930/carto_mini2013_2100.png"></p> <p>  </p> <p> Before the start is going to happen in 2015, we have to respect some qualification rules: I have to sail 1000 miles alone for a qualification trip. And this trip will be in April 2014!  On top, we also have to sail at least 1000 miles in other races!</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><u>This project has already begun</u></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> I’ve been sailing on my boat for 2 years by now! With more than 6000 miles of experience, I’ve already won two qualification races.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="100_0391" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/68941/100_0391.JPG"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><i>A strong experience</i></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> 2006 – World championship of 49er at Aix les bains</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> 2006 – Kiel Olympic week in Germany (on 49er)</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> 2013 – 42th at the demi clé 6.50 (race mini 6.50)</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> 2013 – 1st at the Armen race 2013 in Mini 6.50 series.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> 2013 – 1st out of 14 at the chrono 6.50,</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> 2013 – 5th at Transgascogne 6.50 a double race. </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><u>To make you dream, Mademoiselle Iodée is the "star of the project"!</u></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> I’ve been the owner of Mademoiselle Iodée since May 2012: A tip top 6.50.
