Biography

Jules Bonnier, 30, has been sailing Class40 boats since 2016. As a boat preparer, crew member and then skipper, he has followed the construction of 3 boats and raced 2 Transat Jacques Vabre, 2 Québec–Saint-Malo and the 2022 Route du Rhum on the Class40 #153 Nestenn - Entrepreneurs pour la Planète. In 2025, he took part in the Transat Café l’Or on a new-generation Class40, with Robin Follin. This year, he returns to the Route du Rhum aboard Class40 #190, racing under the colours of Plastic Odyssey, and wants to invite the public to support the association's work alongside him. #SailingForOceans
