Éric Bellion (born 15 March 1976 in Versailles, Yvelines) is a French offshore sailor.[1]
He is a teacher and mentor in management, specialising in the handicapped and diversity, and a communications consultant and also a charitable donor. He is a graduate of the Emlyon Business School and the Copenhagen Business School.
A keen sailing enthusiast at the age of 26, Eric with two friends managed to sail around the world via the three capes on a small 8.60 m boat. That was the Kifouine Challenge, Eric Bellion’s first big adventure, which was to be followed by two other great meaningful projects: the Integration Challenge between 2007 and 2010 and Team Jolokia after that.[2]
He finished 9th in the 2016-2017 Vendee Globe and was the first none professional sailor.[3][4] He produced a documentary film released in 2019 of his Vendee Globe voyage called "Comme un seul homme".
