Biography
A true Mowgli of the seas since childhood, Guirec grew up on a small island in the Côtes d'Armor. At 18 he was a fisherman in Australia, and at 20 he set off alone on a round-the-world trip via the poles. In 2016 he became the youngest sailor in the world to sail the Northwest Passage solo. He took up offshore racing in 2022 in an IMOCA. Barely back from the Vendée Globe, he announced the same year an attempt at the westbound round-the-world record in an Ultim. In March 2026, he completed the solo circumnavigation from east to west faster than anyone, aboard the Ultim MACSF.
