Besides Pier du Sud, here is the list of crew who sailed on Jean-du-Sud in 2024.
Vincent Copti
Vincent wanted to change the world. Now, he wants to cross the Atlantic.
He who declares himself to be the Pierre Lapointe of the boat has boarded Jean-du-Sud to hitch a ride by sailboat to Gaspésie. Since then, he has been learning, to quote him, “pretty much everything.”
Vincent has covered about 900 nautical miles between Quebec and Halifax. He has participated in the usual maneuvers and has also learned a bit of navigation theory.
He is currently working on a documentary about the trip.
Richard Ratté
Richard is an Alberg 30 owner. He joined Jean-du-Sud’s crew for the 140 nm crossing between Gaspé and Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
Richard has a small boat captain license. He further did navigation classes and STCW safety training.
