Biography
Matéo Le Calvic is a young skipper who arrived in offshore racing only recently, initially to prepare boats. He then went through a turbulent Mini 6.50 campaign, marked by a shipwreck followed by a last-minute turn of events that allowed him to fulfil his dream. With the Mini behind him, he has no wish to stop there and has several projects in mind.
