His sponsor
 
Founded in 1831 in Trieste, Generali is the third European insurance company. Operating in 64 countries, the Group has 84,000 employees, serving 60 million customers worldwide, with a turnover of 69 billion Euros in 2008. In France, Generali is the second largest general insurance company. It has 7,000 employees serving more than 6 million policyholders and 800,000 professionals and businesses. In 1951, Generali created pleasure boating insurance in France, and has been the market leader ever since. It now insures 40,000 units, nearly 20% of the market share. It was to promote this activity that the group committed to nautical sponsorship in 1975 with Bruno Lunven, Nicolas’ father. Since then, and following 35 years of continuous sponsorship in racing, Generali is the oldest nautical sponsor in France. 20 sailors have sailed with the company colours over two generations. Main partner of La Solitaire du Figaro from 1997 to 1999 and of the Generali Solo from 2001 to 2006. Generali has participated twice in the Vendée Globe, with Alain Gautier in 1989-90 and with Yann Eliès in 2008-09. In 2011, Generali will support Nicolas Lunven throughout the Figaro
