Emmanuel Le Roch takes Basile Bourgnon on board the Transatlantic Jacques Vabre
22 de May, 2019
Emmanuel Le Roch, skipper of the Edenred Class40, has chosen Basile Bourgnon as co-skipper for the Transatlantic Jacques Vabre from Le Havre, France, to Salvador da Baía, Brazil, which departs on October 27. After making Emmanuel’s dream come true by supporting him on the Route du Rhum 2018, the Edenred Group is continuing the “True Dream” adventure by offering 17-year-old Basile the opportunity to train for his first transatlantic race. The young sailor will thus have the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of his father, Laurent Bourgnon, who won the Transatlantic Jacques Vabre in 1997.
