«Coureur des océans» is the autobiography of sailor Michel Desjoyeaux, published by Editions Odile Jacob in paperback (320 pages, in French).
Michel Desjoyeaux recounts in the first person his life as a solo sailor: from his childhood in the Glénans and learning with Éric Tabarly to his victories in the Vendée Globe, the Route du Rhum and the English Transat. He narrates the struggle against the sea, the effort to stay afloat and the determination to compete at the highest level.
He is the only sailor to have won all the major solo races: twice the Vendée Globe, three times the Solitaire du Figaro, the Route du Rhum and the English Transat.
It will appeal to sailing enthusiasts and readers of biographies of elite athletes.
