Sam Manuard<\/a>\u00a0is no stranger to success in Class 40 with his Mach series of designs and in the Mini class in which he cut his teeth as a designer and sailor. Recently he has been pushing the design envelope with his rounded chunky bowed\u00a0Class 40 Banque du Leman<\/a>\u00a0which debuted with fourth in the\u00a0Transat Jacques Vabre<\/a>\u00a0just weeks after it was launched. Manuard was chosen by his long time Mini class adversary\u00a0Armel Tripon<\/a>\u00a0to design L\u2019Occitane. Seeking a more radical, clean sheet of paper approach the Multi 50 winner of the last Route du Rhum seems to have just that, according to\u00a0the images released\u00a0November 25th<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Why did Armel come to you?<\/strong>
\nHe came to me because\u00a0they were interested in what I have been doing in Class 40 and the Mini Transat<\/strong>\u00a0and also Armel Tripon and Michel De Franssu (boss of\u00a0Black Pepper Yachts<\/a>\u00a0the builders) are the kind of people who think a little bit outside of the box. For sure going with a new designer to the IMOCA class can be considered a risk, but I guess they thought that\u00a0taking that risk represented an opportunity to do something different<\/strong>. They are excited about it and very early in the project I was proposing to do something a bit radical in the hull shape.<\/p>\n

Did they give you a blank sheet of paper and let you do what you thought best or did they have clear ideas what they wanted?<\/strong>
\nActually\u00a0they were very open minded<\/strong>. As a designer working with them was great I never felt any anxiety. They gave me the blank sheet of paper they were never scared of taking the risks. In fact I was more scared! (laughs) We tried as much as possible with the whole design group and especially KND Sailing Performance to compare our concept with something a bit more traditional. We started with a so called conventional boat, call it an evolution of the 2016 generation and that was our baseline. We did a VPP of that one and then made evaluations based on changing key parameters, like the hull shape, but definitely all the time we were making sure we were not going into too much of a corner.<\/p>\n

How does L\u2019Occitane compare with that original baseline boat, where are the key gains?<\/strong>
\nThe scow shape has a big advantage in waves<\/strong>, especially when you are sailing deeper than 110 or 120 degrees TWA. This is really where it starts to pay off. From the start of the project when we defined what the objectives to optimise the boat for were\u00a0definitely we had sailing lower than 110-120 was very high on the list<\/strong>. We wanted to be efficient there. My little experience sailing on IMOCA and all the feedback and all the videos we looked at for hours, clearly\u00a0the IMOCA has a tendency to bury their bows when running. That was really something we tried to address<\/strong>. Being able to go longer with a front is really important. It is tricky to talk about the numbers because we know that the reality from the VPP is not the truth. But with the hull shape we know we are going in the right direction. The differences will be a few per cent but we will see when we sail the boat. I don\u2019t want to be over confident in what we did. If we are able to stay with a front for two hours more that is a lot of miles, that is what we focused on.\u00a0Our foils can be completely retracted and that can help in the light transition zones<\/strong>\u00a0and can also help when you are sailing in super strong conditions and you want to no accelerate too much, you want a safe mode. That was a basic feature we get.<\/p>\n

The bow shape is to the maximum allowed under the rule.<\/strong>
\nYes. Absolutely. We are to within 2mm and\u00a0the chief measurer has already checked the boat<\/strong>. We know we are OK.<\/p>\n

Is there any weakness accepted for that bow shape?<\/strong>
\nThere are\u00a0maybe some weaknesses but not related to the bow shape<\/strong>. The IMOCAs are complex in the many different parameters. But if you just look at the hydro and have all other parameters equal then we are not very penalised anywhere. As you see in the IMOCA, often they are partially supported by their foils, so we are not really too much concerned to have some waterline length or stuff like that. Definitely the boat is very early to be not in displacement mode. So cutting off waterline length was not a problem.<\/p>\n

Who are the design group?<\/strong>
\nThere were a total of\u00a012 persons including me<\/strong>.\u00a0KND sailing performance<\/a>\u00a0were in charge of running the VPP and the CFD. All the structural analysis, the scantlings and the foils were by\u00a0GSeaDesign<\/a>\u00a0and the systems, the bearings for the foils, the rudders systems were designed by\u00a0Awentech<\/strong>\u00a0and the aero coefficients, rigging loads, sail development for the VPP were defined by\u00a0North Design Group<\/strong>\u00a0and we also had\u00a0Nat Shaver<\/a>\u00a0who is currently with American Magic as our foils expert designer.<\/p>\n

What is your concept for the foils compared with the others which are new?<\/strong>
\nOur foils are pretty big<\/strong>, so in terms of the total beam with both foils deployed we are one of the biggest, that is one thing. The shaft has some radius in it so when we deploy or retract the foil it kind of acts on the cant of the foil. So depending on the actual heel of that we are sailing we will be able to adapt the cant of the foil by just adapting the extension of the foil.\u00a0Our foils are not really designed to foil deep in the water<\/strong>, in that sense\u00a0we are closer to the Verdier philosophy than the VPLP<\/strong>, so the idea is not to fly high above the water but to keep in touch with it.<\/p>\n

Coming from the Mini and Class 40 is foiling a big, new challenge for you?<\/strong>
\nIt is one of the challenges of the design but we are such a good group of people but actually\u00a0the complexity of the rule is more of a challenge<\/strong>. Generally we call these boats \u2018Open\u2019 but in fact it is not the case. The rule has a lot of restrictions and one parameter of the rule has an effect on probably three or four others. So there is a lot to play with. In terms of the foil design we found our concept quite easily. My role within the design was really to keep the focus on what was our overall target and overall concept to have something which made sense in terms of winning the Vend\u00e9e Globe.<\/p>\n

And it is a great recognition at the top level for you as a designer, but a lot of added pressure?<\/strong>
\nIt is a great achievement. As a designer, a sailor and a fan of the Vend\u00e9e Globe,\u00a0having this opportunity to run a project like this is a great feeling<\/strong>. I am super happy. There is some pressure for sure. There is a lot of pressure because this boat is under a lot of scrutiny, watched by a lot of eyes. But I like that.\u00a0I love to make some choices<\/strong>, to make a design like this. What more could you ask for as a designer than this? I am not going to complain about pressure. This is the fun of being a designer. If we do it right it is all good.<\/p>\n

The convex deck shape is a gain?<\/strong>
\nIt is convenient for the 180 degree test, there is no trap at all for water on the deck.<\/p>\n

And your cockpit ideas?<\/strong>
\nThe cockpit is deep, aft and small<\/strong>. It is a one person cockpit. The idea of having a flush deck like this is that the cockpit like this is giving you frontal vision. For example at the pedestal you see forwards and see the sails perfectly. That was the decision with the convex flush deck. It gives us good vision and\u00a0it is super, super simple to move the sails around the deck<\/strong>. For stacking it is easy because we can slide them across the coachroof, aft of the mast. With the cockpit well aft the living area inside is quite big. You have a lot of volume and good access to the back of the boat, you can stack the boat aft inside very efficiently.<\/p>\n

Fourth was a reasonable debut for the new Class 40 in the TJV?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nI was very happy with the boat\u2019s performance<\/strong>\u00a0considering it was launched so close to the race. The Swiss guys did a really, really good job of sailing it fast. It was their first Transatlantic, they were in effect the first rookies in the race.\u00a0They showed some really good speed reaching<\/strong>\u00a0close to Madeira and after the Doldrums and had a few setbacks with sails and things which prevented them staying with the first three.<\/p>\n

You have a new Class 40 in build?<\/strong>
\nYes\u00a0we are building a sistership to Banque de Leman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And you will sail with Armel in the build up to the Vend\u00e9e Globe?<\/strong>
\nI will sail on the boat, yes helping with the optimisation and learning which mode we have to sail the boat. This is the very cool part of the project,\u00a0OK I am a designer but I am a sailor<\/strong>\u00a0and part of the reason he came to me is because of that. We will sail together at some point and that will be the real fun part.<\/p>\n

Does the VG appeal as a sailor\u2026next time?<\/strong>
\nYou never know. It is very difficult to get there in the \u2018driver\u2019s seat\u2019 as you have to convince so many people to give you so much money, so\u00a0it is quite unlikely I would get into the \u2018driver\u2019s seat\u2019<\/strong>. But, given the chance, I would love to. It is a great race, a great adventure. I would love it.<\/p>\n

And it is good IMOCA and the Vend\u00e9e Globe to have more designers involved in building new boats?<\/strong>
\nI think for sure. It makes it much more interesting for fans to follow. I am very interested to follow what the others do.\u00a0I think that what Hugo Boss did is really superb<\/strong>. I really appreciate what they did, and Charal and so on. I look at it the same way any fan would look at it.<\/p>\n

And could the boat do The Ocean Race? Do you have aspirations in that direction for the boat? \u00a0<\/strong>
\nYes, definitely.\u00a0This boat could do The Ocean Race with some minor mods in the cockpit<\/strong>. But I don\u2019t think the Vend\u00e9e Globe and The Ocean Race boats will be that much different outside of the ergonomical aspects. In terms of hull shape, boat speed and things like that I don\u2019t think they will be that much of a difference. If we take an analogy of all the work that has been done on other classes, the ability to go super fast downwind, as long as you can do that, whether you are alone or crewed is neither here nor there.<\/p>\n
