While waiting for Nico, it's time for a quick lesson! For everyone new to sailing and navigation, welcome aboard. 🎓
No "left" or "right" out here:
🔴 Port = Left (Bâbord)
🟢 Starboard = Right (Tribord)
🏹 The Bow = The front of the boat (L'étrave)

First ever solo race on his IMOCA and first win 🏆
@AmbroBeccaria came to the #vendeearctique to test his boat and different setups, but he ended up winning it thanks to a bold move in the last part of the race! 👏

We guess @AmbroBeccaria wasn’t totally awake for last night’s manoeuvre. 😅 Luckily, nobody saw him!

Before the start, we asked the skippers 1 question!
With only a few hours left, we’re sharing their answers...
Sometimes, unfortunately, things don’t go exactly as planned... but reaching Les Sables d'Olonne is always a special moment, no matter what. 🌊🍾❤️
