Whitbread Has Fine Art On Sail French Yacht`s Spinnakers
Blend Aesthetics, Technology
By MARTY KLINKENBERG, Outdoors Writer, September 18, 1989
By reputation, the French are artistic, not scientific. But Charles Jourdan, a yacht competing in
the Whitbread Round the World Race, is an example of the best of both worlds. The project,
dubbed Operation Cargo by manager Max Philippe Couteau and coordinator Jane Redford, is a
floating tribute to French technology and a means for carrying contemporary art around the
globe. Three French and one Japanese artists have been commissioned by the French minister of
culture to come up with original works in conjunction with France`s first 70-foot, maximum-
rated Whitbread entry.
