Francis Joyon heads for Asian pirates

Except ultimate weather change, the departure is scheduled this Saturday morning. Cape to the unknown. Or almost. Not enough to scare a winner of the Route du Rhum. Especially when he is carved like Francis Joyon. A living menhir. And a discreet who likes nothing else on land a quiet life with a kite to foil after a good day's work in La Trinite-sur-Mer. "Sometimes we laugh because we work four on the boat and we see on the multihulls next door that they are up to forty …"

Foggy, Joyon will therefore Joyon, that is to say, for cheap but effective, for his new challenge the most eco-responsible possible (emergency equipment on board, no airmail calls, solar panels in operation and refueling on site). While his young friends of the Ultimate beaten on the last Route du Rhum prepare to compete on a new race, Brest Atlantiques (a great loop between Brittany, Rio and Cape Town with return to Brest), the skipper of the trimaran Idec has chosen to plunge back into a record-breaking campaign, the very ones that have fascinated his legend around the world. And instead of attacking the classic, he is heading for Asia. With a nautical piece of five months and four acts.
