Bernard Rubinstein

In the world of race and sailing, he is Rubi. A nickname he owes to Olivier de Kersauson, his shift companion of the first round the world race aboard Pen Duick VI in 1973. On his return, he changed course and took the opportunity to redouble its Cape Horn on Neptune in 1977. Long gone are the maths.

Prof. left teaching to start a nautical journalist activity. In 40 years of reporting, Bernard Rubinstein touches everything to satisfy his passion: the sea and the boats. Racing or cruising, he first tries them in Neptune Nautisme, Neptune Yachting and Voile Magazine. This is a pretext to sail close with the greatest sailors, from Alain Colas to Eric Tabarly, from Loïck Peyron to Armel Le Cleach through Franck Cammas. To face storms, he spends long periods on the Abeille Flandre and then its successor the tug Abeille Bourbon. Enthusiast about lighthouses, his collection on the subject is unique in France.

Besides, this is the time when these sea sentries were still occupied by guards that he landed on all lighthouses of the Iroise sea with a bonus of an eight days stay in the lighthouse of kings, Cordouan. Today, he can claim in all modesty to have lived since 1976, all departures of Transat, those of Rum and of the Vendée Globe. To have written and photographed hundreds of boats. It would be mistaken to think he could draw a certain vainglory from all that. He is Rubi, just Rubi.

Never short of revolutionary ideas, Eric Tabarly had in 1979 the idea to build a boat with a carrier structure to  "take off". These famous foils that are so much in the news today. It will be the trimaran Paul Ricard

The small sider floats only serve as appendages stabilizing the stationary boat. After beating the Atlantic record in 1980, 10d 5h 14 '20 ", the sailor is here at the start of the 2nd Route du Rhum in 1982. Tabarly will have to retire during this race.
