About

The Belgian skipper Jonas Gerckens first learned to walk ""on water"" when his parents decided to live on a boat when he was only two years old. Some years later, his family moved to Saint-Malo where Jonas was introduced to the magic of the Route du Rhum. Ever since that time, the famous transatlantic race became a dream to be realised. In 2018, he competed in his first RdR, coming in 14th in the no. 104 restored for the occasion. In 2022, he is returning with the goal of breaking into the top 10 with the new Volvo 164.
