synopsis
François Gabart, 29 years old, is a rising star in the firmament of offshore yacht racing. In November 2012, he took part in his first ever Vendée Globe.
This film follows the young skipper’s adventures through the training sessions, the preparation at Port-la-Forêt and of course the race itself, with his triumphant arrival on the 27th January 2013 as the winner, at the age of 29, of this single handed, round-the-world, non-stop and unaided yacht race, which he completed in a record 78 days, 2 hours, 16 minutes and 40 seconds!
