He was however our competitor, as he was the advertising director for the magazine ‘Voiles et Voiliers’. But Patrice was friendly and liked to come and discuss and ask after us. For this, he was welcome at Multihulls World. There was always a smile on his lips, and new anecdotes to relate – we shared these encounters with pleasure.
For five years, Patrice fought against a cancer courageously, but also very philosophically, remaining positive and above all, optimistic. An illness which never stopped him doing his job, and always being present at the boat shows. However in October, the illness finally took him from us.
We’ll miss you Patrice, and all our thoughts go out to Veronique and your four children, and to all the team at ‘Voiles et Voiliers’…
