Macif backs French sailing on every front: the Skipper Macif programme, which since 2008 has been bringing young offshore talent through the Figaro circuit, and the IMOCA Macif Santé Prévoyance, racing the biggest ocean events.
With Maxime Horlaville, we work hand in hand to put the performances of the Macif-backed sailing teams in the spotlight. Photo, video, content — from the yard where a boat is born to the finish pontoons, we tell what plays out around performance: the faces, the gestures, the waiting and the moments everything tips.

An IMOCA takes years of work before it ever crosses a start line. Two moments to tell that programme: the birth of the boat, from the yard to its first tacks, then the day that changes a career — the 2024 Vendée Globe victory.
14 January 2025, Les Sables-d'Olonne. Charlie Dalin crosses the line at first light and wins the Vendée Globe after a little over 64 days at sea. From the flotilla massed in the fading night to the trophy raised on the village stage.
Started by Macif in 2008, the Skipper Macif programme brings young skippers onto the Figaro Bénéteau circuit — one of the toughest schools in offshore racing. Around the preparations, the starts and the returns to the dock, we capture what the standings never show.
