Bermuda, United Kingdom, March 29, 2017: 35th edition of the America's Cup - Louis Vuitton (America's Cup 2017): French sailor Franck Cammas, 44, on his AC50 multihull catamaran "Groupama" of Team France for prepare for the events with your crew. Here, the smiling, helmeted skipper, standing at the helm of his boat. Eliminated in the second round of qualifying, he will not participate in the finals on June 17-28. Nothing predestined Franck Cammas to conquer the seas of the globe. He grew up at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire mountain. Her parents are teachers. It took him a stroke of fate at the same time as a crush: a book by Eric Tabarly. He learned to sail in the Mediterranean. In 1997, he won La Solitaire du Figaro at the age of 24. Then the Route du Rhum in 2010 and the Volvo Ocean Race in 2012. He holds six records, including that of the Jules-Verne Trophy. He succeeds in everything he does. Like the first edition of the Brest Atlantiques in 2019, a 14,000-mile race reserved for the Ultime, these maxi-trimarans.
