François Gouin enters Global Solo Challenge

François Gouin from Pornic in France is the 35th entry in the Global Solo Challenge (GSC) with his Pogo 40S Kawan3, a first generation Class40 (Finot-Conq) built in 2008 by Structures.

He wanted to participate in a round-the-world circumnavigation by the three great capes but the opportunity had never materialised until the announcement of the GSC.
