Meet our new favorite America’s Cup skipper: Franck Cammas of Groupama Team France, the French sailing legend who says he perfectly comfortable occupying the position of underdog in the run-up to the 35th Cup. A tenacious sailor who has won pretty much everything else in sailing that there is, he revels in the technical details of the sport and is tough as nails, having bounced back a couple of years ago from nearly losing his leg in a training session. In spite of his obvious determination, he’s also a guy who still knows how to have fun, as is evident in his infectious, self-deprecating smile. Bon chance, Napoleon!
