Since Éric Tabarly, who so skillfully created the prestigious Pen-Duick line, other skippers have taken up the mantle. They include Loïck Peyron, Franck Cammas, François Gabard, Roland Jourdain, and other great names in sailing… All these skippers share the common trait of having won the Transat Jacques Vabre aboard boats that were often making their debut in this race. Through the story of a race, this film recounts the very special relationship between a skipper and his vessel. An original way to revisit the history of the Transat Jacques Vabre.
