Serial circumnavigator

Article Abstract:

French off shore sailor and skipper of 'Geronimo', Oliver de Kersauson who once held the Jules Verne Trophy for the fastest nonstop circumnavigation, attempts to win it back. His approach to offshore sailing is similar to that of seafarers of old, and he believes he is a part of collective history since he is one of the few to have sailed around the world nonstop on a multihull.
