Lucie De Gennes

Crew

Switzerland/France

At just 23 years old, Lucie De Gennes already has an impressive track record, including three junior world championship titles in the mixed 470 class with Matisse Pacaud. Currently preparing for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles with the French team, but driven by a desire to explore and attracted by collective adventure, Lucie—who discovered sailing at age 12 in a Laser on Lake Geneva—is participating in the Swiss Offshore Team selections for The Ocean Race Europe alongside Alan Roura. She is eager to discover ocean racing, with a sincere curiosity and a desire to explore a new world.

A tactical specialist, determined and ambitious, she will take part in the first leg of The Ocean Race Europe, starting in Kiel, Germany, on August 10.
