At just 22 years old, Violette Dorange has set herself the goal of taking the start of the next Vendée Globe 2024 at the helm of a boat that has marked the history of sailing since its launch in 2007 by Michel Desjoyeaux. . Winner of the 2008 edition, the ex-Foncia passed through the hands of several sailors before being bought by Jean Le Cam who achieved a magnificent 4th place in the last edition.
The young Charentaise acquired this Imoca at “Roi Jean” with the support of 120 restaurants of the fast food giant McDonald’s. The boat, renamed DeVenir, wears the colors of the Fondation Apprentis d’Auteuil, a cause supported by the navigator. It was launched on Monday in the presence of Jean Le Cam at La Forêt-Fouesnant before starting its first training sessions with a view to participating in the Transat Jacques Vabre 2023.
