Perhaps you've already heard of the r'Ose Transat association, an initiative created in 2019 to support women affected by breast cancer by offering them the opportunity to take part in the Atlantic crossing under sail?
Following the success of this magnificent project, in which we collaborated at the time, its initiator Elisabeth Thorens-Gaud contacted us to set up the "L'Odysée des marines" project. This is a flotilla rally departing from Port Pin Rolland (in the Toulon harbor) from September 13 to 18, 2025, with the aim of bringing together women who want to share their passion for sailing in a safe, stimulating and motivating environment.
16 participants, both beginners and experienced sailors, have already signed up and will set off on this 100% feminine adventure on three monohulls.
If you'd like to get involved and become a skipper, second or crew member, please contact me so that I can explain the project in more detail.
Please find below a short video presentation of the project with Flavia, the skipper and squadron leader of the Odyssée des marines. |
