Huge congratulations to Margaux for her outstanding performance at the Asian Championship, where she clinched the Gold Medal in the women’s category and placed 3rd overall! This incredible achievement is the result of hard work, dedication, and countless travels. Adding this to her Bronze Medal at the European Championship in July 2024, Margaux is truly showing her exceptional talent and determination. A special shoutout to her International Sopraventus Team Coach, Simone, for his expert guidance and support. We couldn’t be prouder of this incredible duo! It’s also worth mentioning that Margaux, along with the overall winner of the Asian Championship, Ethan Chia, regularly participates in the Atlantis Academy Clinics. It’s an honor for Atlantis to have such talented and motivated athletes training with us. Keep shining, Margaux and Ethan! We’re excited to see what’s next! 🌟

What an incredible experience we had at the three clinics held in Lanzarote over the Christmas holidays! The weather conditions were absolutely perfect, making it an unforgettable event for all participants. We were truly lucky to have the chance to train under the guidance of true legends in the sport: Marco Gradoni, the only sailor in history to win 3 individual Optimist World Championships and a competitor in the America’s Cup; his historic coach Simone Ricci; World Champion Alejandro Bethencourt; and the incredibly skilled Riky Stadel and Alberto Morales. Having access to this caliber of coaching is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! A big thank you to Real Club Nautico de Arrecife for hosting us, and to the amazing athletes from 15 different nations who made this experience even more special. But the excitement doesn’t stop here! We’re gearing up for another clinic in February in Lanzarote, with a regatta bringing together athletes from 20 different countries! And we’re already looking forward to repeating our clinics next Christmas in 2025. Stay tuned—big things are coming!
