Profile
A childhood spent on a boat, a meeting with Alex Thomson, sailing from one support to another where Sam Goodchild demonstrated his skills... This journey led the skipper to take the helm of his first IMOCA, named Vulnerable, to take part in his greatest dream: the Vendée Globe. "Vendée", a word that has resonated strongly in his adventurous mind since his earliest childhood and the stories told by his father. At the start of 2023, he joined the experienced TR Racing team - alongside Thomas Ruyant - an ideal setting for this major project. Sam is a man of challenges, and in 2024 he's preparing to take on his greatest challenge yet.
