Olivier de Kersauson, a key figure in the sailing world, has recently published a new book called Promenades en bord de mer et étonnements heureux (Promenades at Sea and Happy Surprises). In these pages, the winner of the Jules Verne Trophy in 1997 and 2004 retraces his career as a sailor: his joys, his sorrows, his gripes and his thrills.
Last Sunday, he was Laurent Delahousse’s guest during the 8 p.m. news on television channel France 2, invited to present his book. He also spoke about his life in Polynesia, politics and the sea.
