Something about her that you don't know: Justine studied to be a primary school teacher and has a teacher’s qualification - though she never taught full-time.

Who she is: Mettraux, aged 31 from Geneva but now based in the French Brittany port of Lorient, has a formidable sailing record. She came second in the Mini-Transat in 2013, the best finish in that race for a female sailor, and last year she finished seventh in the Solitaire du Figaro. Earlier this year, alongside Bertrand Delesne, she finished fourth in the Class40 fleet in the Transat Jacques Vabre.
