About
Emmanuel Hamez is a telecommunications engineer specialised in managing mobile phone operators in Africa, the continent where he lives and works, while devoting himself to his passion for sailing and ocean racing. Those who follow the Route du Rhum are well aware that he already participated twice in this most famous transatlantic race in 2014 and 2018. It should be noted that the African colours were already more than present on his previous boat, the Teranga. His latest boat, VIRANGA, is a new Pogo S4, of the "Scow" type.
