La Baule (Loire-Atlantique), France, July 7, 2006: the day before, July 6, Bruno Peyron, 51, and his crew, broke the record for crossing the North Atlantic, New York - Cap Lizard ( England), in 4 days, 8 hours, 23 minutes and 54 seconds, on the giant catamaran "Orange II": front shot of the skipper at the helm, ordering a change of sail on arrival at La Baule. The eldest of the famous siblings is a man of records. In 1993, 2002 and 2005, he improved the time of the Jules-Verne Trophy. In 2012, Loïck, his younger brother, stole the job from him. For a long time, Bruno and Loïck have pursued their careers in parallel. Their relationship is marked by strong emulation, and over time they take different paths. In 2000, Bruno organized The Race, a race around the world with a crew with no limit of gauge. Real-time coverage with videos of the six maxi-catamarans entered was a novelty at the time.
