Benjamin Dutreux - Skipper

Considered to be one of the revelations of the last edition of the Vendée Globe, Benjamin Dutreux has demonstrated his talent and expertise aboard an old generation IMOCA.

In 2016, he became an ambassador for the Water Family - From Snowflake to Wave and tearned up with the association in a series of sports projects. His mission? To pass on key values about the environment and  education through positive, practival and inspiring actions linked to his sports project. He has already raised awareness about such concerns amongst more than 8,000 children! 

Guyot Environnement, which specialises in the collection, sorting and recovery of resources and, in the future, the production of energy, has become the central partner to the project. Within Benjamin, his team and the Water Family, the Breton family business saw all the elements needed to combine sporting performance and the promotion of positive education!

This meaningful sailing project, with its very strong human and environmental values, is embodied by three teams with the same objective: to win for the water, to win on the water!
