Arcachon sailor Eymeric Maiffredy sets off around the world… in a sailing boat!
On 15 September 2024, Eymeric set sail from Arcachon for 6 months of sailing, with his cat Mouse!
He is taking part in the Long Route 2024, a solo round-the-world race that was his childhood dream.
Eymeric is no stranger to expeditions. Since childhood, he has sailed with his family along the Atlantic coast and has made several transatlantic voyages to the West Indies, as well as being a member of Arcachon skipper Yves Parlier’s technical team. At the age of 46, he has already covered more than 50,000 miles at sea. On his yacht, the sailor will have the internet on board to keep track of the weather and share his journey on social networks.
Find him on👉Facebook, Instagram et LinkedIn.
Alongside these expeditions, he is also behind the Save The Oceans project, which aims to raise awareness among schoolchildren of the need to protect the oceans and combat marine pollution.
‘Every year, it is estimated that between 8 and 12 million tonnes of plastic end up in our oceans. That’s the equivalent of a bin lorry being dumped every minute.’
At Satab, we are committed to encouraging more sustainable consumption through our certified ribbons and supporting meaningful projects such as that of Eymeric Maiffredy. ♻️
