Partnered by the hugely experienced Frenchman\u00a0<strong>Pascal Bid\u00e9gorry<\/strong> aboard the\u00a0<strong>VPLP-Verdier designed former Hugo Boss<\/strong> on which British skipper Alex Thomson finished second on the last Vend\u00e9e Globe. Tip &amp; Shaft talked to Enright in Le Havre\u2026..<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>So two days to go Charlie, the weather outlook is well known, everyone is getting ready, how are you feeling about your first two handed IMOCA Race? You must have an idea of where you would hope to finish in this 29 boat IMOCA fleet\u2026..<\/strong><br \/>\nI think psychologically I am ready. Now<strong>\u00a0I\u2019m excited to get going<\/strong>. I know that we are never going to make up for some of the experience these other guys have \u2013 not only in the class but sailing with their respective teammates. Over the course of the 6 months that we\u2019ve put in I think we have a good perspective on the whole thing. And if we are game day players we could give it a nudge. You never know\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pascal really is multitalented, better known as a Volvo Ocean Race winning navigator and\u00a0 sailing big multihulls, but he is a great allround sailor on boats of all sizes. What have you learned most from him?<\/strong><br \/>\nSailing with Pascal is interesting. Every day is different. He&#8217;s amazingly talented, technically savvy and\u00a0<strong>you learn precision<\/strong>\u00a0in the short-handed configuration. We are very lucky to have him as a co-skipper in this race and I couldn\u2019t imagine learning more from anyone else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anything in particular, one would imagine you have a well rounded skillset from two Volvos?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019ve learned loads about just sailing the boat there\u2019s a lot of things I need to do on this boat that I was never responsible for doing in the Volvo. Whether it be actual sail handling things or at the navigation station, and from all his multihull experience\u00a0<strong>you need a comprehensive understanding of how the foils work<\/strong>\u00a0and how to position the boat accordingly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What have you done to the boat since you got it, it was by all accounts the fastest, most optimised of the last generation boats?<\/strong><br \/>\nNot a lot, I think we received a boat with factory settings and we\u2019ve been working little by little to bring it back to where it\u2019s been in the past and then we exceed that as far as its future performance is concerned.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And how have you gone in training against the new boats in Port La Foret?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe boat is very condition dependent, it\u2019s no secret\u00a0<strong>this boat has been oriented to go downwind<\/strong>\u00a0and it seems to do that quite well compared to the other boats in training but then there are other points of sail where you can tell the boat is four years old.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the longest training sail you did together?<\/strong><br \/>\nEight hundred miles or something like that.\u00a0<strong>We\u2019ve done cumulatively something close to 5000 miles<\/strong>. Between the deliveries as well as three stand-alone three offshore races so its racked up pretty quick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your expectation, your hopes in this white hot pre Vend\u00e9e Globe fleet?<\/strong><br \/>\nWe haven\u2019t set our expectations through the roof that\u2019s for sure and will have a better idea once we see the game day forecast. Part of what we are doing here is\u00a0<strong>making sure the boat gets to Brazil<\/strong>. I think that\u2019s important for the future of our campaign. We\u2019ve got a big delivery back with crew but that only works if we get the boat there. So here we are starting our small and seeing where we end up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So the return trip you are starting to evaluate crew for The Ocean Race?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>We are starting to look at crew for The Ocean Race<\/strong>\u00a0so the delivery back is part of that. Also we are going to be doing some modifications over the winter so delivering it back is the fastest way getting it here.\u00a0<strong>We are looking at new foils<\/strong>. Five years ago these were the biggest, baddest foils around but when you look at them in the dock\u00a0<strong>they are old news<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who makes the choices, what is the decision making process when it comes to foils and so on?<\/strong><br \/>\nAs you\u2019re aware\u00a0<strong>we\u2019ve partnered with MerConcept<\/strong>\u00a0and<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>a lot of the work is done through them. It\u2019s been a real fast track if you will into our French immersion. They are a great group of guys and having Charlie Dalin (French skipper who has new Verdier design Apivia) and his program to lean on means it\u2019s a mutually beneficial relationship as we develop our own program and look at the future we have a lot to teach from each other. That has been\u00a0<strong>a very fruitful relationship<\/strong>\u00a0and one where our mutual interests align.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So have you actually lined up two boat testing with Apivia? \u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nA little bit of\u00a0<strong>two boat\u00a0<\/strong>work but just development, stuff like that and obviously we are together in the Port La Foret training camp centre so that\u2019s been good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And Francois Gabart (Vendee Globe winner and owner MerConcept) is quite hands on with your project?<\/strong><br \/>\nHe pops in, he takes an interest certainly in the relationship with the program but he\u2019s a busy guy. Be he\u2019s omnipresent as you\u2019re well aware.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the program after the TJV?<\/strong><br \/>\nWe are going to deliver the boat back, it\u2019s going to go into refit and\u00a0<strong>we hope to be sailing middle of March<\/strong>. Then we\u2019ve got some transatlantic training that kind of coincides with sponsorship commitments in Newport Rhode Island in the middle of May. And then hopefully back to France to continue working in that part of the world and\u00a0<strong>helping the group prepare for the Vend\u00e9e Globe<\/strong>. Even though it\u2019s not in our future they\u2019ve (MerConcept) certainly have taken us in and we feel obliged to continue helping them and their singlehanded quest as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But your boat won\u2019t do the Vend\u00e9e Globe, there is no chance of any offers swinging a change?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Our boat won\u2019t do the Vend\u00e9e.<\/strong>\u00a0There is not a possibility of that for a multitude of reasons \u2013 one being\u00a0<strong>we need a platform to train<\/strong>\u00a0on during the Vend\u00e9e and the other being here we are working with MerConcept and I&#8217;m sure the last thing Charlie Dalin would want is the platform that he helped develop sailing against him around the world!<\/p>\n<p><strong>So you will build new for The Ocean Race?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Plan is to build another boat<\/strong>\u00a0the details of that haven\u2019t fully come together yet but that is the blue sky scenario. If you were to build a new boat I don\u2019t think you would want to launch much later than January 1st\u00a02021. If you look at\u00a0<strong>Charal\u00a0<\/strong>and then strive for that schedule they have made by launching early and being in the water for that extra time \u2013 it\u2019s important. You want to get the latest and greatest, but you want to balance that with reliability and time in water. You want at least a good 10 months out if you could draw it up that way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And why are you back for The Ocean Race when it has moved to the IMOCA class?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s a continuation of my quest, I\u2019ve done it twice now and haven\u2019t achieved the result I wanted. It seems natural &#8211; regardless of the platform &#8211; to continue playing it out.\u00a0<strong>We could be racing soap box cars around the world and I\u2019d sign up<\/strong>. This now is a welcome to the platform for me personally you know that having done the last two editions in the one design format now we feel like we are personally able to step up to plate in the technical field and it will be a good test. Make no mistake we couldn\u2019t have accomplished what we have without the one design format in our background, but we relish the opportunity to move forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you thinking will be the size and composition of the IMOCA Class in TOR?<\/strong><br \/>\nThey are hoping for\u00a0<strong>5 to 8 boats in the IMOCA fleet<\/strong>\u00a0but that\u2019s just complete guessing at this point. I think with the attrition race in this class certainly you need eight boats. If you start with five you want to finish with five so it\u2019s better to have more than that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And what is your view of the French ocean racing culture you have been immersed in these last few months, it is a far cry from Newport Shipyard\u2026?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s great, I mean other than the language barrier.\u00a0<strong>If you want to learn a lot about short-handed offshore sailing, there\u2019s no better place to be<\/strong>. It\u2019s been tough on our sailors a little bit, but such is the life we chose. I should be seeing more of them this winter with the boat in the shed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And how is your French coming on?<\/strong><br \/>\nI can basically say a bunch of words that aren\u2019t suitable for public use that Pascal taught me, or\u00a0<strong>I can order a meal but not much past that<\/strong>. I think I&#8217;m definitely improving; some people don\u2019t want to learn but I do \u2013 before I hit return on google translate I actually have a read about what I&#8217;ve put in there.\u00a0<strong>The culture is a big change but that\u2019s just part of it<\/strong>. There\u2019s a big change on what we are doing on the water too so it\u2019s only fitting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You are instrumental in moving sustainability forwards globally in the ocean racing<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThere are some welcome challenges that come with 11th\u00a0Hour and their initiatives as far as sailing in general, boat construction, the IMOCA class, the Ocean Race. So it\u2019s all very healthy. I think shifting the industry is paramount as far as what we are trying to do. We are constantly working with our suppliers whether it be Musto on clothes or North with the sails to make sure that they are following all our sustainability philosophies as that is such a specific part of what we do.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo: Amory Ross \/ 11th Hour Racing<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fifth overall twice in the\u00a0Volvo Ocean Race, on Alvemedica in 2014-15 and on Vestas 11th\u00a0Hour Racing in 2017-18, Charlie Enright, 35 (Rhode Island, USA) opens a new chapter in his sailing career when\u00a0he competes in the two handed Transat Jacques Vabre\u00a0race from Le Havre across the Atlantic to Salvador de Bahia, Brazil.
