Yvan Bourgnon is a character.
Laurent Bourgnon’s little brother, whom he won the Jacques Vabre Transat with in 1997 is insatiable.
His taste for the sea comes from his parents who he does an around the world tour with, that lasted almost 4 years when he was 8.
It’s an authentic man, passionate, who we are happy to call a friend here in Atlantis TV.
His sportive and human values are shared with those of the company.
It’s a true trusting relationship that exists between the Swiss navigator and Atlantis Television.
When he decides in October 2013 to go on an around-the-world trip on a sailboat unlivable, it’s a real challenge launched: no weather info, no GPS… only a sextant, a cellular phone and traditional maps to guide him.
At first, Yvan is accompanied by Vincent Beauvarlet but after evily conditions at large of Corgone and an unplanned stop in Agadir, Vincent gives up. Yvan decided to go on alone.
In September 2014, during his trip, it’s in Atlantis TV that Yvan decides to edit an unexpected step in his challenge.
