Home - English - Sailing Generation

Sailing Génération brings together two complementary aspects of sailing, offering an inspiring vision for all. The Olympic division, driven by young talents, embodies the energy of a new generation of sailors. Alongside it, the IMOCA project represents an iconic class deeply rooted in the tradition of offshore racing. By uniting these two facets of sailing, our project creates a true connection between generations – inspiring both aspiring sailors and seasoned enthusiasts, bringing together all those who share a passion for sailing and performance.

Sailing Génération is a unique, innovative, and inclusive organization dedicated to excellence and performance. Its ambition? To bring together exceptional sailors across different disciplines to push boundaries and shape the future of high-level competition. By blending experience and boldness, tradition and innovation, we create an environment where skill-sharing and the pursuit of perfection are at the heart of the project. More than just a team, it is a groundbreaking and ambitious vision, driven by committed athletes ready to take on the greatest challenges and inspire future generations.

Sailing Génération is setting itself up for success by bringing together two sailing worlds around ambitious goals. Exceptional skipper Franck Cammas leads the IMOCA project with the determination to claim victory in The Ocean Race 2027 and the Vendée Globe 2028, combining innovation and experience. Alongside him, Jean-Baptiste Bernaz, Jérémie Mion, and Paola Amar proudly represent inshore sailing, with a clear objective: to win gold medals at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. Balancing the pursuit of performance with knowledge sharing, Sailing Génération stands as a project driven by excellence and the achievement of great victories across all fields of sailing.
