Yvan

Yvan Bourgnon is a talented Franco-Swiss skipper who started sailing at the age of eight with his parents for a round-the-world voyage where he discovered the ocean that he would never leave.

During his career, Yvan has built up an impressive racing record in sport multihulls and also in offshore races on the most performing boats. With his brother, Laurent Bourgnon, he won the Transat Jacques-Vabre in 1997.

Holder of several world records, he sails to extremes by embarking on a series of extreme solo adventures on his uninhabitable catamaran, without instruments and without assistance. These exploits were unanimously acclaimed throughout the world.

Today, with the association The SeaCleaners, of which he is President and Founder, he is launching a new environmental challenge and wishes to develop an effective and concrete solution to fight plastic pollution in the seas: it is the Manta project
