SeaSailSurfer of April 2009 : Gildas Morvan
Winner of the solo Transat BPE. One do not remember than Gildas Morvan, the giant skipper of the Figaro circuit is also a match-racer. He has competed with Bertrand Pacé, was 7th in the world rakings in 1994 and took part in the America’s Cup in Marc Pajot’s crew. By winning the Transat BPE , he is the SeaSailSurfer of the month.
« My experience with Marc Pajot for the America’s Cup and in the Soling class helped me a lot. I kew the race would finish in a close neck. And I had this plus against the others… And this was helpfull in the close final match with Erwan. I knew what I had to do to control him, I was not lost… It helped me a lot, for sure » saif Gildas after his arriving in Marie-Galante.
Finaly, the Breton skipper takes the win for 4 minutes and 4 seconds. So bad for Erwan Tabarly who looks for a great win.
