Jean-Sébastien Biard is the director of JSB Déménagements, a company based in Rennes, France. For 25 years, his company has been carrying out removals in France, internationally and overseas.

Lulled by the sea since his childhood, Jean-Sébastien Biard is in the process of realizing his dream: Participate in the 12th edition of the Route du Rhum Destination Guadeloupe 2022.

"I had been thinking about it for a few years. I turned 50, stars were aligned, I said to myself that it is the right time". This passion for sailing was born very early for this amateur skipper from Saint-Malo. "I caught the virus very early by sailing with my father".

Jean-Sébastien Biard has decided to bear the colors of his company by participating in the Route du Rhum on his 42-foot (12.7-meter) monohulled cruiser, built 28 years ago. He is going to start optimizing his boat, notably by changing the mast and the sails.

Jean-Sébastien Biard has no pretension of podium, but his goal is to complete the transatlantic race in less than 24 days 16 hours and 47 minutes.

The birth of this project and the realization of such an adventure, shows that everyone with tenacity and will, can live his passion and his dreams.

With the help of his team, Jean-Sébastien Biard wishes to federate his collaborators, his customers but also his partners in this beautiful adventure.

This is why the JSB Déménagements team is starting a quest for sponsors and partners, which will allow them to carry out this sporting project. Its sponsors will have the possibility of displaying their logo on the sails of the boat, of participating in partner evenings, outings at sea.... They will also be able to benefit from the important media coverage of the Route dur hum Destination Guadeloupe.

If you want to participate in this great adventure, get on board with the JSB Déménagements team!
