ROUTE DU RHUM RACE

Flax for the road! Interview with Roland Jourdain

Bilouโ€™s Chinese portrait!

The Route du Rhum had not even started when the excitement was already palpable on the pontoons of Concarneau, home port of We Explore, Roland Jourdainโ€™s catamaran. It is the only Outremer 5X to contain 50% flax fibre and the first boat of its size (18 metres) to contain such a large percentage of vegetable fibres.

Between the last preparations and small jobs that remained before the delivery to Saint-Malo, with his unfailing smile and mischievous look, Bilou found time to play Chinese portrait. A 100% Ino-Rope Chinese portrait that compiles questions about the universe of the sea, boats and racing, in order to find out a little more about the man behind the sailor. And of course we couldnโ€™t resist the temptation of some unusual requests!

While Bilou is very pleased to have Ino-Rope as his technical partner, we were equally happy to share a moment of complicity with a racer whose track record has never overshadowed his humour and simplicity. So now, if you want to discover Bilouโ€™s favourite song and the marine animal he identifies with, with a touch of highly philosophical thoughts, donโ€™t miss this video!
