Mini Transat sets sail: Sunbrella supports skipper Mathis Bourgnon
Article
The legendary Mini Transat started yesterday from Les Sables d'Olonne. Among the skippers on the starting line, Mathis Bourgnon embarks on this extraordinary Atlantic crossing, supported by Sunbrella.
An extraordinary race
The Mini Transat stands out with its unique rules:
- Skippers sail solo on boats only 6.50 meters long.
- They receive no outside assistance: no direct communication with their shore team, no access to weather data.
- Only their preparation, experience, and instinct guide them across the Atlantic.
Extreme conditions already
Barely 24 hours after departure, the sailors are already facing violent winds reaching 35 knots, testing their endurance and composure from the very first miles.
A double challenge for Mathis Bourgnon
Beyond the Mini Transat, Mathis is also aiming for another feat: the North Atlantic solo record.
Two crossings, two extreme challenges, illustrating the determination and passion of this young skipper.
Sunbrella, partner in performance and endurance
By supporting Mathis Bourgnon, Sunbrella reaffirms its commitment to talents who push the limits.
This partnership reflects the brand's core values: strength, innovation, and durability, tested under the most demanding conditions.
Fair winds to Mathis on this extraordinary adventure, which we will follow step by step.
