Virginie Heriot, heroine of french sailing on board her eight meter, in which she won a gold medal in the Olympics; the first woman to do so.
She is also very stylish, many of us would call this "being french". The photo on the right is my wife, taken in 1975 on board "Quatrofolio" (Shamrock") the "J" boat looking very much like Virginie Heriot.
