Learn more about the crew of the Solenn for Pure Ocean.

“We are two sailors who have a passion for the ocean and sailing. Beyond this passion, we share common values that make us a strong team with almost no limits! During our regattas and maritime expeditions, we became aware of the degradation of the ocean and the need to act. We are aware that our playground is fragile and we want to protect it and act to preserve the ocean and marine biodiversity.

The Pure Ocean Foundation was an obvious choice. Indeed, we share the same passion for the ocean, the protection of the environment and in particular the marine environment. The race name of the boat then became Solenn for Pure Ocean!”

Ludovic Gerard & Nicolas Brossay, two loyal Pure Ocean ambassadors.
