VENDEE GLOBE : DON'T FORGET TO BREATH !...








We had another stunning photoshoot yesterday off Port Camargue (South France) as Kito De Pavant accepted to sail its 60 ft IMOCA monohull "Groupe Bel" in a Mistral gale in order to make the preparatory image bank for the next Vendée Globe due to start next november.

What can I say ? The images speak by themselves. It is just one of the most crazy thing a man can do with one boat. They were overpowerd as the wind has sometimes been gusting over 40 knots, they reached speed in excess of 25 knots, and you can just wonder how those guys can do the same sort of thing in the southern oceans for days.

Asolutely fantastic !...
