The Sporting Challenge
Rowing an ocean is the journey of a lifetime. It resets one’s relationship to space and time, comfort and pain, mindfulness and resilience. This internal voyage is what makes such an undertaking so exceptional. The open ocean is like a whole other planet, far away from everything you’ve ever known. A prolonged séjour at sea on a 7.2m boat is as close as it gets to going into space; you learn to thrive in a tiny capsule, within a hostile but fascinating environment that reboots all your perspectives.

How we support Association Lazare
Put the organisation in the spotlight
Draw visibility and attention to their work internationally and with our partners. Thus raising awareness about the difficulty of the street.
Embark the flatmates on our journey
We’ll allow all the houses to follow us, visiting them with our boat …and even taking them out on the water for a training row!
Channel new donors
Rather than a one-off fundraiser, we want to channel long-term donors through our endeavour, bringing sustainable growth to the charity.
Alongside the Vendée Globe
Lazare is also supported by a boat on the next Vendée Globe race, starting in November 2024 (a month before us).
Dubbed the Everest of the seas, it consists in a solo non-stop circumnavigation of the globe. It’s also the most-watched french sports event, taking the public in an extraordinary 80-day adventure.
​
Our audience is complementary to that of the Vendée Globe, bringing another channel of visibility.
​Skipper Tanguy Le Turquais, professional sailor having competed in the world’s most prestigious races, is now on a mission to make the invisible visible again - the homeless on our streets.
