Parrainé par l’Association Eric Tabarly, le film de Pierre Marcel évoque le parcours hors norme du marin et son extrême sensibilité. S’appuyant sur une documentation unique d’archives radiophoniques et audiovisuelles, françaises et étrangères, professionnelles et amateurs, inédites pour la plupart, le documentaire nous fait revivre les courses au large, les arrivées discrètes ou triomphales, en solitaire ou en équipage, au long des trente cinq années de suprématie des Pen Duick sur toutes les mers du monde.
