There are questions you don't ask sailors of this caliber every day. And there are moments when the seriousness of the open sea gives way to the lightness of the boat. In this short but delicious interview, Armel Le Cléac'h and Sébastien Josse take readers on a series of confidences, little idiosyncrasies and unexpected confessions. It's a two-voice conversation in which, between the laughs, you can sense the trust built up a thousand miles after a thousand miles.
A bond forged in the banquet

They chose each other for the Coffee Route. Not by chance, but because it works. Armel speaks of trust, Sébastien of complementarity. Both know what it's like to sail fast, long and silently. This complicity can be felt in every answer, even when it comes to designating a dream dish or an onboard playlist.
Away from the rhetoric and towards the small details

The interview explores what we never see in weather reports: superstitions, rituals, objects we keep on board without really knowing why. The ideal crewmate? Calm" for one, "smart" for the other. The sailor of their childhood? Not necessarily the one they think. And a favorite port of call? Martinique, of course, but not only...
An interview to see the open sea differently

Behind the performances, these questions reveal two lucid, funny sailors, often teasing, but always sincere. No jargon, no tongue-in-cheek, just two men who live their passion at high speed and with a smile. Through this series of short questions, we enter into their daily lives as sailors and into the intimacy of a duo cut out for the open sea.
To see, not just read
It's not just an interview to watch. It's a moment to experience, to listen to, almost as if you were in the cockpit with them. Armel Le Cléac'h and Sébastien Josse show us a different side of ocean racing, one that's human, light-hearted, but always inhabited by the breath of the open sea.
