The Transat Café L'OR is unforgiving
The Bay of Guascogne’s sea beats down on all who dare cross it. Then, further south, the trade winds, the light winds, await, a challenge to be interpreted with patience and intuition.
The nights are long and humid, the boat breathes and speaks to those who can listen.
Here, trust and rhythm are what make the difference: the right action at the right time, two gazes reading the same wave, as if the sea had chosen them to tell its story.
In this voyage we delve into three ways of existing in the ocean: the consistency of Arnaud Boissières in tandem with Benjamin Dutreux, the human precision of Manuel Cousin in onboard alongside Jean-Baptiste Daramy, the effective ingenuity of Louis Duc together with Masa Suzuki. Different styles, the same promise: to keep up the pace towards the tropics, not just a fast start.
SLAM is their silent companion: dry when needed, warm when conditions are tough, our technical sportswear leaves you free to move. Because in the Atlantic, equipment counts, but it is the sailor, and the duo of sailors, that really make the difference. Being comfortable on board means keeping your wits about you, thinking clearly and making the right decision, at the right moment (when you need it the most).
