“I spent time at sea, I traveled a lot, lived in China, and we can only be shocked by what we see, the pollution, the plastic, the unbreathable air, the unsafe water. drinking, climate change… We realize that we have gone too far!

We must quickly find alternative solutions to our economy, to our consumption patternsMany initiatives are underway, but change must concern everyone, and all areas. In ocean racing, and high performance sport in general, we still have a long way to go, but nothing is impossible.

The research of absolute performance at an ecological cost that Man can no longer assume.

With USE IT AGAIN I seek to raise awareness among as many people as possible aboutclimate emergency and the need to protect the Ocean. We must demonstrate sobriety and resilience, in order to accelerate our transition towards circular economy.
