Port-la-Forêt (Finistère, Brittany), France, April 26, 2012 --- Training aboard the trimaran sailboat MOD 70 "Foncia" skippered by Michel Desjoyeaux, 46, who will be at the start of the Krys Ocean Race, in New York, July 7. Here, the navigator maneuvering at sea. Once in his life, he came last. In 1965, at his birth, in Concarneau. He is the seventh child in the family. Otherwise, Michel Desjoyeaux has the makings of winners. He is the only sailor to have won the Vendée Globe twice, the Everest of the Seas, in 2001, then in 2009. Between the two, in 2004, the skipper just won the Route du Rhum. It must be said that his first world tour, “Mich Desj '” did it in 1986, alongside Eric Tabarly. His record is worthy of his elder. Michel now devotes himself mainly to his racing team. (color photo transposed into black and white: Philippe Petit / Paris Match / Scoop)
