The Jules Verne Trophy
|
A history, a Holy Grail, the attempts...
|
| Save for Bruno Peyron, Peter Blake associated with Robin Knox-Johnston and Olivier de Kersauson, who took it in turns to brandish
the Jules Verne Trophy, Tracy Edwards (1998) and Ellen MacArthur (2003) also attempted to beat the round the world record.
This winter, Franck Cammas and his nine crew will rush to the twenty-second attempt of this Jules Verne Trophy.
