Sports book At full speed

The Vendée Globe is considered one of the most difficult races in the world for sailors. Benjamin Ferré, encouraged and supported by Jean Le Cam, is committed to the 10th edition of this Everest of the seas. And yet, nothing predisposed him to one day embark on ocean racing, much less a solo round-the-world race. How did he end up on the starting line? Who are those who trusted him when no one else believed in him? How did he prepare for the most famous sailing competition? How do you organize yourself a few months before departure? HAS Through this book, he gives a behind-the-scenes account of his preparation for this extraordinary race and lifts the veil on his life as a sailor but also on that of a land-based sailor: the qualifying races, the crew on land, the adventure of finding sponsors, the apprenticeship on the shipyard, his relationship with his boat, his commitment to the spirit of transmission, his links with his mentor.Setting sail for this legendary race means leaving nothing to chance in terms of logistical, physical and mental preparation.
