BIO

Yanic, nicknamed Junior on board as he is the youngest of the crew at 19 and because there are two Yanics in the team, started sailing at the age of 6. His passion truly grew after spending a year crossing the Atlantic with his parents and sister. He first sailed in Optimist, then in ILCA, before focusing over the past three years on J/80 racing. He has competed in numerous national regattas, several European championships, and already twice at the J/80 World Championship, as well as at Spi Ouest France and the Dutch and French Championship. Representing Belgium is an incredible honor we may be a small country, but we're here to make a big impression on the water.
