Veil. The fourth edition of the Vendée Globe, which started in November 2000 from Sables-d’Olonne and won by Michel Desjoyaux, is also that of the epic and heroic adventure of Yves Parlier. After a few weeks of racing, the skipper dismasted in the open ocean, not far from the Kerguelen Islands. The sailor does not give up, and prefers to repair his mast, alone and without assistance during a stage in New Zealand.
“Alone” tells this incredible story. Prohibited from assistance, this is the regulation, Yves Parlier made his own oven to repair and rebuilt a makeshift mast. Once back at sea, he was confronted with breakdowns in his communication systems, and with hunger: his food stock was not intended for so many days at sea. The sailor ate seaweed and owed his survival to fishing .
The TV film was shot between April and May 2023, largely in Sables-d’Olonne (Vendée), from where the 10th edition will take place next Sunday, November 10. Samuel Le Bihan plays the main role, that of Yves Parlier.
Alonea film directed by Pierre Isoard (90 mins). Broadcast: France 2 Monday November 4, 2024 at 9:00 p.m. Production: High Sea Production (in co-production with France Télévisions).
