Martinique HORIZON: Martinique’s Sailing Team Sets Course for the Transat Café L’OR 2025
A Legendary Race Between Le Havre and Martinique
The Transat Café L’OR 2025 is more than just a transatlantic race — it’s a human adventure, a test of endurance, and a celebration of the strong connection between France and the Caribbean.
This year, Martinique proudly takes center stage once again with a 100% local team: Martinique HORIZON.
Martinique HORIZON: A Team Proudly Flying the Martinican Flag
Aboard their Class40 sailboat, the duo Jean-Yves Aglaé and Moane Mangattale embody the determination, passion, and resilience of Martinique’s sailors.
- Jean-Yves Aglaé, from Sainte-Luce, is an experienced sailor and a returning participant in the Transat.
- Moane Mangattale, from Le Lamentin, brings her energy and expertise to this new adventure.
Their vessel — a MACH40 designed by Sam Manuard (sail number FRA 115) — combines innovation and performance. Fully equipped with solar panels and an onboard energy recovery system, it reflects the eco-responsible values that lie at the heart of the Transat Café L’OR.
A Human and Sporting Adventure
For Martinique HORIZON, this race across the Atlantic is much more than a competition. It’s a tribute to Martinique’s maritime heritage, a message of pride and perseverance.
Their mission is clear: to prove that the Caribbean has the talent, courage, and technical skill to stand among the great names of international ocean racing.
Beyond the challenge, it’s also a deeply human journey — one of teamwork, endurance, and emotion.
Each wave, each night at sea, and each sunrise brings them closer to their beloved island of Martinique, the race’s final destination and emotional home port.
A Source of Pride for Martinique
The arrival of the Transat Café L’OR in Fort-de-France always stirs excitement across the island.
It symbolizes not only the connection between two continents but also the recognition of Martinique’s maritime excellence.
Through their professionalism, humility, and passion, Martinique HORIZON inspires a new generation of sailors and dreamers — those who see the ocean as both a challenge and a promise.
