Éric Tabarly (1931 - 1998) is the most famous French navigator in history. He won some of the most prestigious ocean races and his victories inspired a new generation of great French sailors, such as Loïck Peyron, Olivier de Kersauson and Marc Pajot, who are some of the best navigators in the world.
In addition to pioneering the restoration of classic wooden sailboats, Eric Tabarly developed the concept of multi-hulls, with aerodynamic and hydrodynamic innovations that profoundly changed ocean racing. He died at sea, in the south of Ireland and is, even today, one of the most admired personalities by the French.
Eric Tabarly's second victory at Ostar, in 1976, was a considerable event in France, as it put a definitive end to the English superiority - the great historical rival of the French - in the major ocean races. After this victory, Tabarly triumphantly descended the Champs-Elysées, acclaimed by the crowd.
This telegram, due to its content signed by the champion most admired by the French in the 1970s, is unique and extremely rare. A document for those who like France, navigation and competition.
