DREAM BIG
François Gabart is a professional sailor in a hurry and a very driven young man. Initiated at the age of six, a globetrotter at ten, he found his passion early but, more importantly, learned his craft with a rare capacity to adapt. Aptitude served with a smile as well as a performance ethic and an enterprising spirit that mean this skipper is in a league of his own. He was a model student at one of the best engineering schools in France, the National Institute for Applied Sciences. Always at the back of his mind was a longing to excel on the water, to contribute to the way competitive sailing evolved, and to invent new boats.
Winner of the 2013 Vendée Globe – the Everest of sailing – at the age of 29, François Gabart has been pushing the boundaries ever since. Refusing to repeat himself or go stale, he recently launched a revolutionary 30-metre trimaran with which he won the Single-Handed Transatlantic Race and is destined for other wins and records. A role model for all ages, he constantly surprises because beneath the golden boy exterior he has a public-spirited conscience interested in the world and other people.

François Gabart est un marin professionnel pressé. Initié à 6 ans, globe flotteur à 10, il a accédé à sa passion en accéléré. Lauréat d’un bac S, mention très bien, il a aussi parfaitement négocié ses études supérieures. Avec une facilité souriante doublée d’un esprit d’entreprise qui font de lui un skipper à part. Avec également, dans le coin de sa tête, l’envie de faire évoluer la voile de compétition et d’inventer de nouveaux bateaux. Vainqueur du Vendée Globe – l’Everest de la voile – en 2013, à l’âge de 29 ans, François Gabart n’a cessé, depuis, de progresser. Refusant de se répéter, il a récemment mis à l’eau un trimaran révolutionnaire de 30 mètres avec lequel il a remporté la Transat anglaise 2016 en attendant d’autres records... Il détonne en cultivant, sous ses allures de faux golden boy, une conscience citoyenne ouverte sur le monde et sur les autres.
