Antonin Chapot, a Classe Mini skipper, hails from Clermont-Ferrand, not far from Thiers, where our Profurl products are assembled. Today, he has moved closer to the Atlantic coast to pursue his passion. ⛵
That’s why he came to pick up his equipment directly from our Pornichet offices!
Antonin’s Mini was already equipped with a Profurl NEX 0.9 furler with a ratchet, so he mostly left with Wichard Marine hardware—and a few stickers and flags! 😉
Beyond offshore racing, Antonin is also committed to education through the Espérance Banlieues association.
His goal: to show these young students—many of whom have never even seen the sea—that almost anything is possible with curiosity and ambition! 😃
Well done, Antonin, and thank you for this great partnership!
