About the Book

Jean-Luc VAN DEN HEEDE (VDH pour les initiés ou les paresseux) est depuis 2004 détenteur du Global Challenge, record du tour du monde "à l'envers", c'est-à-dire d'Est en Ouest, et plus précisément face aux vents et courants des mers australes. Détenir un record pendant douze ans est en soi un autre record: 122 jours, 14 heures, 3 minutes et 49 secondes... Avis aux amateurs. Avec ses 10 Cap Horn et ses 5 tours du monde en solitaire, VDH est un navigateur singulier plus porté sur l'amitié et la fraternité des gens de mer que sur la présence médiatique. Dire de lui qu'il est un navigateur ?à l'ancienne? serait péjoratif, ce qu'il aime c'est le corps à corps avec la mer sur un voilier qu'il a pensé, conçu et rêvé et qu'il compare au cheval du cavalier. Pour toutes ces raisons, il se prépare à la Golden Globe Race de 2018, 50 ans après la légendaire course organisée par Sir Francis Chichester et remportée par Robin Knox-Johnston, course marquée par la folle et dramatique histoire de Donald Crowhurst, et La Longue Route de Bernard Moitessier. Les navigateurs devront effectuer le tour du monde en solitaire sur des voiliers de série de moins de 36 pieds (11 mètres), conçus avant 1988, sans les technologies modernes, c'est-à-dire sans GPS, sans radar, sans pilote automatique, sans liaison satellite. Bref, la voile comme l'aime VDH. Vous comprendrez pourquoi en lisant ce récit. En attendant celui de sa Golden Globe Race 2018.
About the Author: Jean-Luc Van Den Heede est un navigateur français né le 8 juin 1945 à Amiens. Il commence à naviguer vers 17 ans et devient moniteur aux Glénans. Il devient par ailleurs professeur de mathématiques et s'installe à Lorient. À partir de 1989 sa vie sera entièrement consacrée à la voile. Il est souvent surnommé VDH dans le milieu de la voile. En 2004, il bat en 122 jours le record du Tour du Monde à la voile à l'envers. Ce record est encore invaincu à ce jour. Mais le marin a de nombreuses cordes à son arc: depuis 2005 il est le chanteur du groupe de rock Globalement Vôtre et conférencier pour de nombreuses entreprises.
