Eric TABARLY (interviewed by Stéphane Brincourt that we don’t see), talks about his character: "I don’t think at all that I have a character of loner, it is a reputation that I carry with me of 64... Loneliness doesn’t weigh on me, at least at sea, but when I’m on land, I’m not at all lonely, I like being with friends." Interview on images of Pen Duick VI’s stopover in the Marquesas Islands: Eric TABARLY on the sailboat at anchor, diving with mask and snorkel, collecting wood on land. Women preparing fish on the rocks.
Eric TABARLY interviewed by Julien BESANCON (off) about his dream: "I have a life that I won’t dare dream a few years ago... my dream comes true every day, I don’t have to dream..."
When there was no news of him and we were waiting for Alain COLAS, Éric TABARLY crossed the finish line at 6 o'clock this morning in Newport, after 24 days at sea. Eric TABARLY, winner of the English transat Plymouth - Newport on Pen Duick VI, expresses the difficulties he encountered during the race.
When asked by Bernard PIVOT about the changes brought about by sailing by communication instruments, he responds spontaneously "me, what I don’t like most of all is being forced to communicate". Laughter of the other guests. Bernard PIVOT gently mocks him.
