Ils ont passé un an ainsi, départ de France pour les caraïbes puis New York et retour. A l'age de 12 ans, Adrien commence la voile en compétition: “J'ai tout de suite aimé la sensation de liberté, la responsabilité que naviguer implique ainsi que d'être juste au contact des éléments”. “ Aujourd'hui, j'aime toujours aller chercher l'horizon et l'aspect technique que cela implique. Je suis toujours à la recherche d'une façon d'aller plus vite et de régler au mieux”.
