Mini Transat, 40 years of passion
2017 was a Mini Transat year, especially the year of the 40th anniversary e anniversary of the race. The opportunity for Patrick Benoiton, a journalist who took part in the event, to go back over the fundamentals of this race. A book that makes us relive every hour of this formidable adventure that still retains this tremendous enthusiasm even after all these years.
Eric Loizeau recounts his 17 adventures in ocean racing. From his sailings with Eric Tabarly, his round-the-world trip on Pen Duick III, his multihull transats. This compilation of nautical stories takes us back to the 80s when the big names in ocean racing were just a bunch of friends who above all loved the sea and partying.
Through watercolours with incredible details, Jean-Benoît Heron makes us discover the boats of the great literary adventures. It is at the same time a beautiful picture book, but also a discovery of sea novels. This author has chosen to put in pictures the boats of his library, a beautiful doorway to better understand and to make you want to (re)read these great novels.
The oceans no longer leave much room for discovery and adventure. Yet it is a real adventure that is told with Maewan's journey. This small aluminium cutter has just completed a half world tour through the Far North in two years. With a few sailors on board and many mountain people who have followed one another on the course. Both a very beautiful story with fascinating texts and breathtaking photos.
