Biography
For Goulven Marie, sailing is a long story, steeped in the spray of the Ocean and the Mediterranean. Nicknamed Goul, he has spent most of his time on the water: a native of St Servan and a descendant of Cape Horners, he has had an immoderate taste for sailing since childhood. After long years crisscrossing the bay of Saint-Malo, he finally settled on the shores of the Grande bleue.
