A GC32 accident kept Franck Cammas off the water, but it gave Team France’s skipper more time to engineer the challenge.
Three months after his serious injury, Franck Cammas has gotten back onboard the French AC 45 for training.
Franck Cammas, the decorated French sailor takes a new approach to rounding Cape Horn…foiling on a Nacra.
Franck Cammas did not let the fact that both he and Groupama were new players in the Volvo Ocean Race stand in his way as he sailed into an overall victory for 2011-’12 series. The Prize Giving Ceremony took place in a flurry of confetti in Galway, Ireland, and was even attended by Prince Carl Philip of Sweden. Photo Credit: Ian Roman and Paul Todd/Volvo Ocean Race
