Mathéo Rivard-Ménégoz

ilca 6

Depuis l’âge de 5 ans, Mathéo navigue avec passion. C’est au CVDM, dans le groupe des « petits pirates », qu’il a fait ses tout premiers bords. Très vite, il est tombé amoureux de la voile et a montré un talent naturel pour manœuvrer son Optimist. Au fil des années, il a enchaîné les régates en Optimist, remportant plusieurs succès qui lui ont garanti une place aux Africains Opti au Maroc à l’été 2022, où il a représenté Équipe Canada. La même année, il a terminé la saison en recevant le titre de champion en Opti du circuit du Québec en 2022. Après sa belle aventure en Opti, Mathéo est passé en ILCA 4, puis en ILCA 6, où il poursuit son développement avec détermination. Pour l’année en cours, il rêve maintenant de participer aux Mondiaux de la Jeunesse au Danemark, un nouveau défi à la hauteur de son ambition.
