About
At 20 years old, Axel Tréhin picked up a half-wrecked boat in the hopes of saving his ocean-racing dreams. After spending three years in his garage it raced in the MiniTransat 2013, and again in 2015. A carbon fibre virtuoso, he built his third Mini entirely on his own, and has made waves on the circuit with his steely mentality. But for this lover of the ocean, his sporting passion goes hand in hand with his sense of civic engagement. In 2019 he launched the Brittany outpost of Project Rescue Ocean, which works to combat illegal waste dumping.
