From the explosion of joy of Charlotte Yven and Hugo Dhallenne (Skipper Macif) to the happiness of Thomas de Dinechin and Aglaé Ribon, less than three hours passed. In between, there was the popular enthusiasm surrounding Cindy Brin and Thomas André (Cap St Barth, 3rd), the emotion of the finishers, and the intense joy of completing an incredible adventure. A look back at a truly special night that will remain etched in the collective memory of Saint Barthélemy—and beyond.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
- Two years after her win with Loïs Berrehar, Charlotte Yven claims victory once again under the Skipper Macif banner, this time with Hugo Dhallenne
- The only sailor to win twice in a row, Charlotte matches Armel Le Cléac’h’s record (winner in 2004 and 2010)
- Romain Bouillard and Irina Gracheva (Décrochons la Lune) finish second despite a torn spinnaker and being becalmed for long stretches
- Nearly 200 boats welcomed Cap St Barth (3rd) to celebrate the first arrival of a Saint Barthélemy-born skipper, Cindy Brin, sailing with Thomas André
- Only 35 seconds separated Cap St Barth (3rd) from Selencia-Cerfrance (Maël Garnier and Catherine Hunt, 4th)—the narrowest margin in this edition
- Within 2 hours and 53 minutes, the top 13 teams had crossed the finish line

About the Transat Paprec:
Every two years, the Transat Paprec (formerly known as the Transat AG2R) offers teams the chance to compete against each other on the Atlantic aboard identical boats. The only transatlantic race on equal terms, since 1992 it has revealed the talents of men and women who take up this sporting and human challenge. Since 2023, at the instigation of the Paprec Group, the format has been unprecedented in ocean racing, as 100% of the duos must be made up of a woman and a man.
