2023 was marked by the launch of USE IT AGAIN for YOUTH, and the first double races of the father-son duo Romain and Titouan Pilliard.

Romain and Titouan will continue double-handed races on USE IT AGAIN

Titouan will also sail on different boats, Waszp, Figaro 3, mini 6.50… until the launch of its monohull USE IT AGAIN for YOUTH.

> Romain will tackle the most difficult sporting challenge in ocean racing:

The attempt to REVERSE WORLD TOUR RECORD and SOLITARY this time.

 

A solo record, from east to west, against the prevailing winds and currents, owned by Jean-Luc Van den Heede for 20 years. He arrived on March 9, 2024 after 122 days on his monohull Adrien.

It is THE challenge of USE IT AGAIN, the clear illustration of our message: The climate emergency is real and our search for performance must no longer be at any cost, we must seek relative performance and not absolute performance.

This Record attempt represents a unique performance, in perfect harmony with USE IT AGAIN: A single man, on the hardest and longest ocean journey, with a legendary 20-year-old boat, reused materials, reasonable means, and the lowest possible impact on the planet, for an XXL human and sporting adventure of almost 4 months !

Start of stand-by for the start of this attempt from the first weather window, on November 10, 2024.

Christian Dumard will support Romain in weather analysis and routing before and throughout the record.
