Sailing – Union Nautique Marseillaise (UNM)
Romain Tellier
History
Performs pleasure sailing before starting to race in 2019.
Following his meeting with Clément Giraud, for whom he became a volunteer, and then a preparer for his Vendée Globe 2020-2021 project, he then challenged himself to compete in the Mini Transat.
This is how he started a two-year preparation for this human adventure race, the last stretch of which will be done at UNM and for which he will participate in the prototype section.
In November 2021, he finishes 8th in this Mini Transat (1st Bisu).
Future
His new goal is the Route du Rhum 2026, in which he wants to take part on board a Class40.
He therefore plans to well prepare himself over the next 4 years by working on Class40s, but also J70s, while sailing as much as possible with people from different backgrounds.
