🥉 PODIUM POUR VIOLETTE DORANGE SUR LA 1000 RACE !

Five days, eight hours, 26 minutes, and 35 seconds: that's how long it took Violette Dorange to cross the finish line of the 1000 RACE and secure a magnificent 3rd place, after a superb battle against Elodie Bonafous and Francesca Clapcich in the Bay of Biscay. For her very first solo race aboard the IMOCA Initiatives-Cœur, the youngest competitor in the event achieved her first podium finish, a testament to her determination and maturity. This result also validates the work carried out this winter by the technical team on the boat. Well done, Violette! 👏 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⛵ ABOUT INITIATIVES-CŒUR Initiatives-Cœur is a unique alliance between offshore racing and humanitarian work.
