About
Born in Le Havre, Charlie Dalin first took up sailing at the age of six. From then on, this passion never wavered. After graduating from Southampton University with a degree in naval architecture in 2006, Charlie quickly set his sights on ocean racing. In 2011, he joined the Pôle Finistère Course au Large in Port-la-Forêt where he made his debut in the Figaro Bénéteau. The following years were filled with podiums and victories. These included the coveted title of French Elite Solo Ocean Racing Champion that he won twice between 2014 and 2016. In 2018, Apivia Mutuelle sponsored Charlie on the IMOCA circuit. A four-year partnership through to 2022, punctuated by the construction of a new generation boat, culminating in their participation in the 2020 Vendée Globe.

A race that always inspired my dreams. I am looking forward, for my first participation, to competing for Apivia in this legendary transatlantic race.
