Biography
Emmanuel Hamez, a very well-informed amateur
A telecommunications engineer, Emmanuel Hamez manages mobile phone operators in Africa, the continent where he lives and works, while fully living his passion for sailing and offshore racing. Those who follow the Route du Rhum know that he has already taken part twice in the most famous of transatlantic races, in 2014 and 2018. It is worth noting that Africa was already strongly present on his previous boat, named Teranga.
