Biography
Jérémie Beyou, 50, is about to compete in his sixth Route du Rhum. The sailor from Finistère has already stood on the podium of the race twice, second in 2014 and third in 2022, and knows its demands perfectly. He has just sailed his fourth Vendée Globe in 2024-2025 and won the 2025 Transat Café L’OR with Morgan Lagravière. He is now back aboard Charal 2 with a clear ambition: to play a leading role and secure another major result on this legendary transatlantic race.
