As dawn breaks over the emerald coast of Brittany, the Fursac man sails past Dinard and onto Saint-Malo surrounded by his close friends all clad in intense navy blue. The coastline drifts by and sounds of joy mingle with those of the waves. One of them wears a revisited peacoat, another a fleece smock or a timeless sailor’s sweater. The air ducts let refreshing salt water into their boat shoes, a nod to the initiated sailors. It’s the Brittany of leisure boats and legendary explorers, a region known for its powerful winds and adventurous summers.
It’s a vision of Brittany that’s dear to Gauthier Borsarello. Fursac’s creative director turns to the land of his ancestors to recount tales of fishing and trade, explore the navy’s heritage and evoke the timeless style of Eric Tabarly, the famous French sailor, at the helm of the Pen Duick.
