Achille Nebout, winner of the MedMax Occitanie Saïdia Resorts, shared his impressions:
“It feels great to have arrived! It was great! I couldn't have dreamed of anything better! It's been a perfect season, and I'll remember it for a long time. Now we're going to do everything we can to keep progressing and win more races! I hadn't sailed in the Mediterranean for a long time, and it wasn't easy, especially with the short, upwind seas. In any case, it was a great race that we'd been looking forward to for a long time, and I'm very happy to have won this first edition. Well done to the organizing teams around Kito for putting together this race, which was very close to my heart. We'll see you in four years' time!
This first edition of the MedMax was a real success.
