Biography
Ulysse Pozzoli has lived in Guadeloupe since the age of 8, having arrived by sea. He grew up in the island’s sailing clubs, in particular the C’Fun Club, where his desire to sail and compete took shape.
Involved in both traditional sailing and offshore racing, and with four transatlantic crossings behind him, he now wants, through his structure Voiles et Performances, to represent Guadeloupe in the major ocean races, with the Route du Rhum as his goal.
