Maxime Sorel agrees to sell us his mast!
We’ve got a mast! And it’s arriving in Lorient on Tuesday!
I can only thank Maxime Sorel, skipper of V and B – Monbana – Mayenne, and his partners for this small miracle. They called me the day after the accident to offer me their replacement mast. A gesture of enormous generosity just a few weeks before the start of the Vendée Globe. Proof, if any were needed, that the solidarity of seafarers still exists. A big thank you to you Maxime and your partners.
Thanks to the hard work of my team, I can tell you that we have found all the technical and material solutions to carry out the repairs! However, the question of financing still remains. The campaign is still open (the link is here : https://bit.ly/3MV5CcA ), and I’d like to thank you all for your generosity and support – it’s incredible!
With this campaign, the support of Fortinet and Best Western and the members of the partner club, we’ve raised half the budget to date. In just one week, that’s huge! The other half remains to be found, so I’d like to appeal to all the business leaders who are following me: joining the adventure now is a superb opportunity to try your hand at sailing sponsorship. You’d also be making a superb media splash, arriving just when the project needs it most.
So interested?
