" I was born in Paris, grew up in the Basque country and now live in La Baule. In fact, as my desire to sail grew, so did my sailing along the Atlantic coast. Saint-Jean-de-Luz, then Arcachon, La Rochelle and Lorient. But I consider myself a Baulois".. And, more than irreducible, an irresistible Baulois, Sébastien Rogues, 38, has built up an impressive list of achievements. On the one hand, he is still the youngest skipper to have won a Transat Jacques-Vabre (in Class40, in 2013). On the other, he has tried everything from GC32s to Flying Phantoms and Formula 28s. Until the logical switch to the Ocean Fifty in 2019. This was followed by another 'Jacques-Vabre' win, two more podium finishes, and a Route du Rhum finish in 3rd place.^e. But not enough for this record-hunter. "Many people dream of the Vendée Globe, but I dream of the Jules Verne Trophy".admits the man who is not yet satisfied with his recent 'Primonial' victories. "We'll be celebrating one year at Port-Camargue".smiles Sébastien Rogues. He's already salivating at the prospect of competing in the MEDMAX Occitanie - Saïdia Resorts. "A great circuit, with some incredible places to cross. Sublime waters, jewels everywhere. We know its whims, there are always surprises. Mut the Mediterranean means sailing fabulous ". Which he will be sharing with his accomplice Jean-Baptiste Gellée, his co-skipper for the past five years. A solid "Primonial" crew.
