A Wind of Freedom, Florence Arthaud

In 1978, at the age of twenty, when she was neither old enough nor a boat, nor even a sponsor, Florence Arthaud decided to cross the Atlantic solo during the first edition of the Route du Rhum. With her little pigtails and her dirty look, she is nevertheless firmly determined to measure herself against the best. After twenty-seven days of a formidable adventure that would mark her entire life, she came second in her category, eleventh overall, and first woman. Not bad for a first timer! This book is the autobiography of the woman who was then nicknamed the “Little Bride of the Atlantic”. A journey made up of records, twists and turns, and encounters. Because a pioneer of her kind, an extraordinary personality, she is the first woman to have made a place for herself in the very masculine world of sailing. Florence Arthaud also returns in this book, with the sincerity and humour that characterize her, to her personal history and a life placed under the sign of freedom.
