Who is Christophe Auguin?

Christophe Auguin is a French sailor and ocean racer born in 1959 in Normandy. He is one of the greatest single-handed racing sailors of all times and, to date, the only sailor to win three single-handed circumnavigation races ('BOC Challenge' in 1990-91 and 1994-95 and 'Vendée Globe' in 1996-97).
