This Monday 5 May, the famous yachtsman Jean-Pierre Dick and his crew set off on board La Loévie (Swan 76) for the 5th edition of the Pure Ocean Challenge, a transatlantic crossing between Bermuda and Lorient.

🎯 The aim: to beat her record by 11 days and pass on her experience, while carrying the message of ocean conservation high!

💪 The challenge: 8 sailors, including 2 professionals and 6 amateurs, set off unassisted in an ocean race, with the aim of exceeding their limits for our blue lung.

➡️ Why this challenge? Because it’s more urgent than ever to protect the ocean. ‘We don’t just want to cross the Atlantic: we want to give meaning to every mile we sail,’ explains one of the Belgian amateurs. “It’s a way of showing that everyone, at their own level, can make a commitment to the Ocean.

Fair winds! The entire Pure Ocean team is with you, and we hope you’ll go for the record!
