After the latest Vendée Globe round-the-world race, Marc Guillemot wanted to start a project to encourage promising young sailors from his native city of La Trinité-sur-Mer and surrounding areas. Today, his dream has become a reality, and Team SOG Safran is sailing full speed ahead.

The ten young sailors crew are combining their passion for sailing with their studies. They reap the benefits of coaching by Marc Guillemot, skipper of the Safran Open 60 Imoca class ocean racing boat, and world champion in this class, plus the unparalleled infrastructure that manages Safran’s boat sponsorship project.
