Laurent Banon
HYC Jr. Sailing Committee - Co-Chair
I started to sail when I was twelve in Brittany, France. At fifteen, I began competing in many international regattas and had the chance to be part of the worldwide skipper ranking. To list a few of them, the sailing Tour de France, Melges 24 world championship, and Spi Ouest France.
Besides the competitiveness of the sport, sailing is, for me, an opportunity to admire nature and the ocean! Of course, sharing this passion and the values of this sport with our kids is also very important!
We are excited to have Laurent as one of the Co-Chairs of the HYC Junior Sailing Program.
