#46 - Interviewing The Sailing Frenchman who has the ambition to sail around the world

I have been following Hugo's youtube channel from the beginning and it was a true pleasure to chat with him about his journey. Hugo will tell us about how he grew his youtube channel and how he was able to finance his most recent project as a competitor in the Mini Transat Race (which is a solo transatlantic race).


Glossary:

  • Mini Transat: A solo transatlantic yacht race that typically starts in France and ends in the Caribbean.
  • Vendée Globe: A single-handed non-stop round the world yacht race.
  • Ann Alé: The name of Hugo's first boat
