biography
Sailors
At the age of seventeen, Lamazou decided to sail around the world. In 1975 he was hired by Yvon Fauconnier on Vendredi 13 and a short time later became a member of Eric Tabarly's crew on the Pen Duick VI . In 1985 he equipped his first own ship, the Ecureuil-d'Aquitaine I , with which he took part in numerous regattas , including the BOC Challenge , the Transat Québec Saint-Malo and the C Star . Lamazou took part in the newly created Vendée Globe in 1990, where he won with his Ecureuil-d'Aquitaine II . At the Route du Rhum in the same year, he finished eleventh in the overall ranking. Together with Florence Arthaud , Titouan Lamazou founded the Trophée Jules Verne in 1991 , a competition for circumnavigation records. Two years later, the Tag Heuer was completed, the largest regatta monohull built to date in composite construction ( matériaux composites ). After its sinking, he ended his career as a professional sailor and devoted himself to a project that he himself called the bâteau atelier . This high seas studio is open to artists from all over the world who want to work there.
Artist and writer
Lamazou published the book Sous les toits de terre as early as 1988 , followed by others such as Carnets de voyage (1998) and Carnets de voyage 2 (2000). Lamazou has been portraying women from all over the world since 2002. The project is called Femmes du monde . In 2003 he was named a UNESCO Artist for Peace by Kōichirō Matsuura and an official French marine painter ( Peintre Officiel de la Marine ).
