Biography
Kieran Le Borgne, a 28-year-old sailor from Finistère, is passionate about board sports and technical work: he is a former kitefoil world vice-champion and holds a degree in composite materials. He took part in a highly formative first Route du Rhum in Class40 in 2022, followed by 6 transatlantic races. He now returns to take on a major challenge in the Vintage Mono category: bringing back to the water a legendary monohull, the former PRB/Roxy, the only Imoca to have won the Vendée Globe twice, which had been left abandoned for 13 years.
