There are sailors who have an edge. And a crazy streak. Imagine the scene: storm Andrea on Feb. 28 hit Brittany, the wind blowing over 50 knots off the Glénans Islands. This is not enough to stop Nicolas Lunven and Eric Péron, who aboard their Beneteau Figaro “Generali” are taking advantage of these extreme conditions to train for bad weather sailing ahead of the Transat AG2R.
