At just 23 years old, Violette Dorange is set to make history as the youngest sailor to compete in the Vendée Globe, one of the world’s toughest sailing races, starting November 10. With a passion for sailing that began at age seven, she has spent recent months preparing on her new boat, which she describes as stable and fast. Putting her engineering studies on hold, Violette has rigorously trained for potential dangers, accompanied by her partner Charles. She aims not only to compete but also to inspire other young female sailors in this prestigious event.
