1969 - Papeete - Tahiti (French Polynesia).
The boat of Bernard Moitessier.
With this boat, in 1968, he participates in the first race around the world, solo and without stopover, Golden Globe. But, while he is in head, he gives up cutting the finishing line, abandons the race, and begin, always without stopover, a new world tour.
Nevertheless, he did not try either to beat a record, or to become a hero. Simply the sea had changed him.
After ten months of navigation, its trip will stop in Polynesia, where it will choose to live.
