Biography
For Francis Joyon's biography, see Wikipedia.
If Francis is on the start line of this Route du Rhum, it is to help protect the Oceans, notably by supporting Igrecmer and the Guadeloupe sea school.
Performance has not been forgotten: suppliers and patrons back the trimaran Océans, in particular Kresk 4 Océans.
When and how do the great moments of a lifetime come about? For him, it all stems from a passion for the wind, for adventure, for competition and, above all, for the Oceans.
