They were the four top vote-getters among the 30 sailing legends among whom we asked you to indicate who you thought was the greatest. Now, in a tennis-style dry semifinal, we put them against each other in a kind of “impossible challenge.”
THE TABLE.
Agostino Straulino, the top vote-getter, against Francis Joyon, who made it into the top four by the skin of his teeth after a last-vote challenge with Joshua Slocum. Eric Tabarly, runner-up, versus Bernard Moitessier, third: two very great French sailors, very different in style and philosophy. These are the two semifinals: you can vote for your favorites until noon on Sept. 5.
