Biography

Davy Beaudart discovered sailing at the age of 13 and quickly became passionate about offshore racing. From the age of 16 he tried his hand at the Mini 6.50, where he collected around fifteen wins.

At 18 he founded Nautymor, a company dedicated to the preparation and optimisation of racing boats. Both a skipper and a technician, he is now recognised in both roles and sails on IMOCAs as well as Ultims. In 2026 he will be aboard Bureau Vallée 3 for the Route du Rhum.
