For him, it is the culmination of a project he has been developing since his return from the Vend\u00e9e Globe 2024 (15th place).\u00a0<em>&#8220;After the Vend\u00e9e Globe, I wanted to move to a trimaran, so I sailed the Ocean Fifty season<\/em>\u00a0(with Thibaut Vauchel-Camus, 4th on the Transat Caf\u00e9 L\u2019Or)\u00a0<em>and\u00a0<strong>I tried to project myself onto the Route du Rhum in Ocean Fifty<\/strong>,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0he explains to\u00a0<em>Sailorz<\/em>.\u00a0<em>&#8220;Unfortunately, it didn&#8217;t work out, because of that annoying numerus clausus rule.

I was indeed reassured, which allowed me to\u00a0<strong>put together a compelling case<\/strong>\u00a0around this boat and its refit. All that remained was to find at least one major partner to join me in this adventure.&#8221;<\/em>As luck would have it, at that time (late August), Cr\u00e9dit Mutuel Ark\u00e9a, having chosen not to continue in Imoca with Yoann Richomme and Paprec\u00a0<em>(<a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/4nvwkpzx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">see our article<\/a>)<\/em>, was\u00a0<strong>actively looking to support a skipper on the Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe<\/strong>. This is confirmed by its Deputy Director of the Dynamics &amp; Human Resources and Communication division,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/2djxs5ej\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">C\u00e9dric Malengreau<\/a>:\u00a0<em>&#8220;Even if we had continued in Imoca, we knew that 2026 would have been a blank year in terms of sailing communication, so\u00a0<strong>we wanted to occupy the media space<\/strong>, particularly within the framework of the Route du Rhum, which is important for us because we have a historical link with this race which is on our territory.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Damien Seguin then got wind of this desire from the banking group, to whom he sent his proposal, including\u00a0<strong>a partnership with<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/don.handicap-international.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Handicap International<\/a>, whose colors he had already worn on the Route du Rhum 2014 and for whom he had been an ambassador ever since. C\u00e9dric Malengreau continues:\u00a0<em>&#8220;Since the spring, we had worked on about fifteen leads to finally draw up\u00a0<strong>a short-list of five projects<\/strong>. Damien&#8217;s project particularly appealed to us and stood out prominently. It ticked many boxes, particularly with\u00a0<strong>relevant storytelling that matched well with our values<\/strong>, focusing on disability and inclusion, but also sustainable finance with the refit of an older boat.\u00a0<strong>His personality did the rest<\/strong>, and the closer contacts we have established since then have only confirmed our desire to work with him.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">A duel with Francis Joyon<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">in perspective<\/span><\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>The final decision was ratified at the beginning of October, allowing Damien Seguin to\u00a0<strong>confirm the purchase of the boat<\/strong>\u00a0(of which he is the owner with his company), for 200,000 euros. Barely back from Fort-de-France in November, he headed south to deliver her\u00a0to Les Sables d&#8217;Olonne, where she\u00a0<strong>has entered the yard, taken in hand by Eole Performance<\/strong>, the company of brothers Benjamin and Marcel Jr Dutreux.The program includes\u00a0<strong>a complete refit \u2013 costing 600,000 euros<\/strong>\u00a0(for an overall budget of one million) \u2013 led with naval architect\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/v7y9ty47\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lo\u00efc Dorez<\/a>\u00a0(who has worked notably at Groupama and Malizia) and\u00a0<strong>Franck Proffit, who has become the project&#8217;s technical director<\/strong>. This includes the decoration, all the electrical and electronic systems, the pilot, a new set of sails (100% All Purpose in linen and nettle fibers), and greater protection for the skipper.\u00a0<em>&#8220;However, we are keeping the philosophy of the boat&#8217;s original era, notably the mast and original appendages;\u00a0<strong>we are not going to turn it into a foiler<\/strong>,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0specifies Damien Seguin.<\/p>\n<p>The schedule? Launch in April, before the Tour de Belle-Ile, the ArMen Race, and the Drheam-Cup to validate the sports qualification, before the Route du Rhum, which the sailor is delighted to race on this legendary boat:\u00a0<em>&#8220;I grew up in Guadeloupe; at 10 years old, I witnessed the victorious arrival of Florence Arthaud, but also Mike Birch, who finished fourth on this boat.
