EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary French sailor, Alain Colas, taken on November 28th, 1973. The image captures him aboard his iconic vessel, Manureva, during a stopover in Sydney's port in Australia. It had been exactly 80 days since he embarked from Saint-Malo to undertake an extraordinary solo circumnavigation of the globe by sail. Alain Colas made history by shattering the world record set by British sailor Francis Chichester, completing his remarkable journey in just 80 days less than Chichester's time. With a beaming smile on his face and sporting a distinguished beard, Colas exudes confidence and determination as he gazes into the distance. However, this photograph holds bittersweet significance as it immortalizes one of Colas' final moments before tragedy struck. In November 1978, while sailing aboard Manureva—formerly known as Pen Duick IV which he had acquired from renowned sailor Eric Tabarly—Colas mysteriously disappeared at sea. Beyond its visual appeal and historical context, this image symbolizes both triumph and loss—a testament to Alain Colas' indomitable spirit that propelled him to conquer new frontiers while reminding us of the inherent risks faced by those who dare to push boundaries. AFP has masterfully captured not only an extraordinary man but also a pivotal moment in maritime history through this poignant portrait of courage and adventure.
