Marie Tabarly

Marie Tabarly is a French professional yacht sailor based in Lorient, France, in Brittany. She is the daughter of Éric Tabarly, who died while sailing in the Irish Sea in 1998. Marie originally had a career as an equine behaviourist but put it on hold after her horse got injured and decided to focus on sailing instead. She has a long history of sailing many different yachts from a young age, such as Geronimo, for which she was named as the boat's godmother at its christening; the French trimaran which has since broken many records, such as with Olivier de Kersauson.
