Anyway, over time, only the joyful part of this superstition has been retained, and champagne bubbles have become a way of wishing all new boats good luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s what we had the pleasure of experiencing last Saturday: Fabrice Amedeo<\/a> and Andreas Baden<\/a> Imoca 60 tasted champagne when it was christened, in the presence of Christophe B\u00e9chu<\/a>, French Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, in the presence of all partners and the many members of the public who turned out for the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Godspeed to this new boat, a symbol of Fabrice\u2019s resilience following his last shipwreck, of passion and of its fierce determination to bring its sporting and scientific project to fruition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the postponement of the start due to poor weather conditions, we wish both skippers the best of luck, strength, recklessness and success: the\u00a0#guillin<\/a>\u00a0team will be supporting them from dry land!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
