SeaSailSurfer of February 2009 : Michel Desjoyeaux
Double winner of the Vendée Globe. No surprise. The SeaSailSurfer of the month.is no one else than Michel Desjoyeaux, aka « the Professor ». Foncia’ skipper has dominated the race around the world and becomes the first one to win twice the Vendée Globe.
The generation of this first decade of the XXIth century will be the Desjoyeaux generation as the Breton sailor form Port-La-Forêt has won every single-handed race from La Solitaire du Figaro to the Route du Rhum.
In the previous generation, two men had won two solo round the world race. Philippe Jeantot and Christophe Auguin had won the BOC Challenge (actual Around Alone). But these round the world races had few stop-overs when the Vendée Globe is non-stop. Auguin himself did won three round the world races as he also won the Vendée Globe in 1995-1996.
For the 2000 generation, Desjoyeaux will be the lightroom and he is the SeaSailSurfer of February.
