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.

The catamaran "Royale" at start of the Route du Rhum 1986. In a crazy ride, skipper Loic Caradec sailed nearly 20 knots to cover the 18 miles between the start line at the Pointe du Grouin, to the mark at Cape Frehel. Clouds of spray are flying over the bows before ending their run on the central pod.

The 200 mm is plenty enough for the photographer. From the top deck of the passengers boat, he is at ringside to watch the Royal giant wing mast which height of 32 meters, with a surface of 60 m2, seems to defy the ocean.

A cruel ocean which, in its tantrum, will cause the capsizing of the catamaran and the loss of her skipper. In this third edition of the Rhum, they were 33 solo guys to take the start. They will only be 13 to finish, marked by the full  victory of Philippe Poupon on his trimaran Fleury Michon.
