Transat en Double 2021: Win for Nils Palmieri & Julien Villion

by · Published · Updated

Got a shout from IACA President Charles Bueche (currently racing As in Garda) on Nils Palmieri winning the 2021 Transat in doubles. Nils is ann avid Multihull sailor, being A-Cat and also racing the Speed Tour at the helm of Teamwork Ventilo M2, also past D35 regattas and the usual events for a Swiss sailor. But seems the Lake guy can also handle an Atlantic Ocean crossing no prob.

Along Julien Villion (experienced Transat & Multi 50 sailor, and if CSN records are Ok Moth too) they just won the 15th Edition of the Transat en Double, (Concarneu-St Barts)

Congrats to both on such an achievement.
