A sailor’s life is no plain sailing. One might say “the sun shines after the rain,” but in this instance, maybe not!

An excellent start for our two skippers

Every other day, Philippe Legros will give us an appraisal of the route taken by Roland and Jean-Luc for this Transat Jacques Vabre. As a member of Veolia Environnement’s crew for the recent Istanbul Europa Race, Philippe Legros knows the boat well. This mariner, who hails from Brest, is a talented competitor in his own right, having twice been Imoca World Champion as a crew member of Sill in 2001 and 2002, as well as winner in 2005 of the Round Britain race aboard Sill and Veolia. He has won his spurs sailing with some of the biggest names in the sport. Known as a clever tactician and sail designer aboard Veolia Environnement, Philippe will be giving us the benefit of his informed insights.
