Discover the new Pen Duick, the renewed wooden model of this French racing cutter by Éric Tabarly, whose life motto was: "Man needs passion to exist". Saved from destitution by Éric and his father when the former was only seven years old, the Pen Duick was the first of a series of boats with which Tabarly achieved multiple victories in different competitions. He was undoubtedly one of the best sailors in history.
Born in Nantes in 1931, Tabarly developed a great passion for the sea and sailing from childhood. He achieved great victories and smashed records at a time when the Anglo-Saxons dominated ocean racing. Far from relaxing in glory, he would continue to build ever more efficient boats and win races. He met his final fate when he disappeared in the waters of the English Channel while sailing his old Pen Duick to take part in a regatta of classic sailing yachts in Scotland.
