Christophe Bachmann is both an architect and a skipper. Passionate about design and offshore racing alike, he sees a shared energy in the two: the gesture, long timescales and the search for balance.

Born in eastern France, he settled in Dinard after his studies, for love and for sailing. He then had two ambitions: to make a living from architecture and to sail far.

He reports a Class40 career (Caribbean 600 in 2016 and 2019, Transat Café L'Or in 2017 and 2023, Transat Québec-Saint-Malo in 2024), then IRC races in 2025 (Transat anglaise, Middle Sea Race, Fastnet Race). He confirmed his qualification for the 2026 Route du Rhum in Vintage Mono aboard Grain de Sable, with Saint-Malo as his home port.
