Be the Drop! Your name around the World!

How does this work?

Crowdfunding is all or nothing: if you don't reach the requested amount, you don't get the money !

The current health crisis Covid19 leaves its mark and have a huge impact economically.

Have you already had your name around the world on an offshore racing sailboat?
Now it's possible!

It's not easy to find the budget right now with professional companies, so here I need you to realize this dream, this challenge. 

I hope you will be there by my side, by the greatest number and together we will try to beat this record held since 2013!

You too take part in this sporting challenge while supporting an eco-citizen cause for our beautiful planet with simple and effective actions!

The project was launched in June 2019 with the acquisition of the Class40 BEL55, a prototype designed by Guillaume Verdier and built in 2007, a boat that won over the podiums until 2013.

A first crowdfunding campaign was successfully carried out in September 2019, the money collected ( 23000€) was used for the refit of the boat and when buying the new set of sails.

The start is officially for November 2020 but subject to budget for Nov 2021.

The goal: is to try to beat a world sailing record by finishing a non-stop round-the-world trip without solo assistance in less than 137 Days!

That's what we call" The Everest of the sea ", sail around the planet through the 3 Great Capes, SOLO, without stopping on a nutshell, down of the Atlantic Ocean, passage of the equator, Cape of Good Hope, Cape Leeuwin, and the famous Cape Horn, sailing back up the Atlantic, cross again the equator and then return from where we started, that's the challenge !

Port for departure and arrival: Port of Brest

Course: The same as the Jules Verne Trophy

The time to beat is 137 Days 20 Hours 01minute and 57 seconds !

A sports project and a cause for our planet ! 

It is high time that everyone wakes up and that we begin to realize that we must act now, we must change our habits, I believe in simplicity, simple gestures, simple actions to do every day by everyone no matter where you come from !

You too join the movement ! Together we will form an ocean, just Be the Drop ! 

Here is the boat, a real little rocket !

In accordance with the project and the ecological crisis, I wanted a second-hand boat and to sail with no fuel emission to recharge the batteries. The boat is equipped with 11 solar panels and I'm looking to get an Hydrogenerator to provide green energy as much as possible during the races.

She has been optimized since the beginning which has proven herself to be still very efficient even in front of boats of last generations, an exceptional prototype, here is Magale !
