About

Since 1990, the name of Joyon has appeared on the list of multihull entrants for almost every edition of the Route du Rhum. His superb victory in 2018 could however justify a break for the 66-year-old sailor, who understandably may want to hold on to the imperishable memory of an incredible performance. As the current race record holder of the Route du Rhum, Francis Joyon goes beyond these considerations, which he addresses with the same good nature as when he speaks about the venerable age of his IDEC SPORT boat, which was launched in 2006. At a time when heightened competition is entering the world of ocean racing, Francis Joyon is refocusing more than ever on his passions; sea, the wind, travel, distant horizons, and a quest for the unique pleasures of flying on a giant multihull. For all this, he is ready to pay a heavy price, the difficulty, the brutality of the machine and the elements, and also, sporting defeat.
