As he came up alongside the town of Les Sables-d’Olonne on January 19, 2017, the 39-year-old skipper Armel Le Cléac’h beat the speed record established by François Gabart by almost four days. It was an achievement that assured his place in French sailing history. Idolized around the world and newly decorated with the Legion of Honor, Le Cléac’h returned to family life in his native region of Brittany, trying to keep his feet on the ground. After all, it wasn’t the record that motivated him: “After a certain amount of time on the water, he wasn’t even counting the days.” Here is above all the portrait of an athlete and man who has devoted his heart and soul to his passion, even though he doesn’t know where it will take him.
