Something in the air...
Special things are happening in Lorient...
Everyone I speak to who knows what’s what, is saying the same thing. It’s like a secret code between friends. It’s an in-the-know kind of thing that none of us can quite put our finger on, but we know it’s true. And it’s simple. The French are not only coming for the Jules Verne record with Gitana 18, there’s increasing belief that they are coming for the America’s Cup. It’s a crescendo of talent at the very apex of our sport that is absolutely tantalising in its prospect, and Lorient is the base of choice. Fabulous for the sport. What’s happening in Lorient is something of a blueprint for success. How can it not be?
