About
The Swiss from the Swiss-German side in Zurich learned to speak French on the pontoons. Having passed through the dinghy school, he quickly became attracted to the open sea. He started out in the Mini6.50 in 2012 with initial results quickly following. Three Minitransat participations with two podiums later, Simon Koster managed to make it to the Class40. The two-man project with Valentin Gautier during three seasons resulted in a 2nd place in the Transat Jacques Vabre!
