Yann Burkhalter
Crew
Switzerland
A sailor since childhood, Yann Burkhalter grew up on Swiss waters, from Optimist to Laser, M34, D35 and Mini 6.50. A shipbuilder by trade, he combines technical expertise with a genuine passion for the sea.
After competing in the Mini Transat in 2017 and several seasons of regattas, Yann put his sailing career on hold to devote himself to his family life. Today, driven by a desire to return to the open sea and armed with his offshore experience, excellent technical understanding of boats, and natural team spirit, he joins the Switzerland Offshore Team with determination.
He will embark on the fifth and final leg of The Ocean Race Europe, from Genoa to Boka Bay, in early September.
