About

After two victories in 2006 and 2010, Roland Jourdain is back for the 4th time at this event. With a smile on his face and a mischievous look in his eyes, "Bilou" is aiming for more than just a ranking this year. He is embarking on the We Explore, a catamaran built of flax fibre. This material is an alternative to fibreglass and is produced locally in the fields of Normandy. Today, the skipper would like to "demonstrate that another approach is possible" in a race that has always been open to innovation.

I was 14 years old when the first RdR was held. It became entrenched into my dreams. Then one day you realise your dream... And it helps you grow. That's why I'm going back, to try to fulfil new dreams. Thanks to the RdR!
