Last Thursday, Yannick Bestaven won the Vend\u00e9e Globe<\/a>, crossing the finish in third place after Charlie Dalin and Louis Burton, but benefiting from a redress of 10 hours and 15 minutes for taking part in the operation to rescue Kevin Escoffier. With the first nine boats in,\u00a0Tip & Shaft can draw the first conclusions<\/strong>\u00a0from this ninth edition with comments from some skippers (Fran\u00e7ois\u00a0Gabart<\/strong>, S\u00e9bastien\u00a0Josse<\/strong>, Pascal\u00a0Bid\u00e9gorry<\/strong>, Paul\u00a0Meilhat<\/strong>), Roland\u00a0Jourdain<\/strong>, the president of the IMOCA class, Antoine\u00a0Mermod<\/strong>, the designer, Quentin\u00a0Lucet\u00a0<\/strong>(VPLP) and Christian\u00a0Dumard<\/strong>, the race’s weather consultant.<\/em><\/p>\n

This Vend\u00e9e Globe, which crowned\u00a0Yannick Bestaven as the oldest winner in history<\/strong>\u00a0(48), will remain\u00a0an unusual edition<\/strong>\u00a0in many ways. Firstly, because of the Covid crisis, with the start and finish taking place behind closed doors. However,\u00a0the absence of the public did not mean a lack of emotions<\/strong>\u00a0and the few lucky ones – media, teams, partners and family \u2013 who were able to enter the village certainly had their fair share of emotions with tears in their eyes, when the nine sailors finished.<\/p>\n

In the dark of night, 10 miles from Les Sables d’Olonne, the title-holder, Armel le Cl\u00e9ac’h, took a lot of photos of Apivia with his smartphone when the passenger vessel transporting the journalists went out to meet Charlie Dalin. This confirmed that\u00a0the finish of a Vend\u00e9e Globe is always a special moment<\/strong>, whether you are an observer, or an ocean-racing professional. Another winner Fran\u00e7ois Gabart would tell Tip & Shaft: “Even without the public and with all the constraints,\u00a0the magic of the Vend\u00e9e works every time<\/strong>. There were not the tens of thousands we are used to seeing, but we saw some great things, smiles, emotions, and everything about the race remains a source of enchantment.”<\/em><\/p>\n

S\u00e9bastien Josse, three participations under his belt and a weather consultant to this year, adds:\u00a0“There were a lot of emotions, especially with the families, and\u00a0I liked to see the skippers with their children<\/strong>, these were really nice moments of sharing that we didn’t see so much before. The fact that there was no audience helped to highlight this intimacy, probably because there was less concern about other people”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some<\/strong>\u00a0rather peculiar weather conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Vend\u00e9e Globe is also atypical for its low rate of abandons:\u00a024.2% for the moment against 44.8% on average<\/strong>\u00a0over the eight previous editions. It is also atypical because of\u00a0the rather peculiar weather conditions<\/strong>\u00a0which have never allowed the leaders to really open the gap on their pursuers. “I thought we would break the records, we didn’t have the conditions for it, with\u00a0a lot of comebacks from behind,<\/strong>“<\/em>\u00a0commented Charlie Dalin at the press conference. “When we designed Apivia, we had particularly studied the conditions of the Atlantic descent, because historically, those who arrived first in the South could leave with a weather system ahead and their pursuers would never see them again, mission accomplished [he was the first in Good Hope, editor’s note], but\u00a0bad luck, it never happened<\/strong>“.<\/em><\/p>\n

Race weather consultant Christian Dumard confirms: “The sequence for the leaders was special<\/strong>. If Apivia or some others had managed to pass in front of the big depression that Charlie had in the Indian Ocean, they could have followed them like the participants of Virtual Regatta and arrived in 69 days.\u00a0By twelve hours, they would have been there for more than a week<\/strong>\u00a0and today we would be talking about the great progress of the foilers compared to last time”.<\/em><\/p>\n

This particular weather combinations gave rise to a scenario that will have kept the race fans and followers in a state of suspense for 80 days until the last miles, with, at the finish,\u00a0the smallest gap between a winner and the second (2h31)<\/strong>. Never seen before, with\u00a08 boats on the line in just over 16 hours<\/strong>, including two daggerboards and four 2016 generation foilers. This allowed the general public\u00a0to discover little-known profiles<\/strong>, to highlight different ways of preparing for a successful Vend\u00e9e Globe and to show that a large budget is not enough to win the Vend\u00e9e Globe.<\/p>\n

“Not everything happens in Port-la-For\u00eat!”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

That particularly appealed to Paul Meilhat: “I\u00a0really like the rustic side, doing a lot with little<\/strong>, these are strong values that I have been defending for a long time. I’m very happy that it’s happening on this Vend\u00e9e Globe, as it happened on the Route du Rhum with Francis Joyon”.<\/em>\u00a0And the winner of this same Route du Rhum in Imoca added:\u00a0“I also love to see that there are ten different ways to achieve a result<\/strong>, even in the way you sail. We saw that in the final, between a Charlie Dalin who makes magnificent trajectories in the Bay of Biscay and the slightly more aggressive, ‘thuggy’ side of Yannick’s drive”.<\/em><\/p>\n

For the first time since Christophe Auguin’s victory in 1997, victory in the Vend\u00e9e Globe has also eluded a skipper trained at the Finist\u00e8re offshore racing centre in Port-la-For\u00eat. This led one of its members, S\u00e9bastien Josse, to say: “Not everything happens in Port-la-For\u00eat!\u00a0This edition revealed some outsiders<\/strong>, but they didn’t come out of nowhere: they raced in Mini and Class40, they are also schools of ocean racing”.<\/em>\u00a0Roland Jourdain completes:\u00a0“We are not in a monoculture<\/strong>, there is a mix of solutions to reach the goal, it’s a great message, rich in the societal context in which we live”.<\/em><\/p>\n

And ‘Bilou’ Jourdain, three participations in his sea boots, added: “On this Vend\u00e9e Globe,\u00a0we didn’t beat the speed records, and yet we’ve never had such a great show<\/strong>. Do we absolutely need to push so hard to go faster, when this has financial, techno or environmental consequences? Maybe this is an opportunity to dare to look at things differently”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Even firmer on these questions of budgetary escalation,\u00a0Jean Le Cam put his finger on it\u00a0<\/strong>during his press conference on Thursday evening: “The essential values that we must defend are the accessibility of the Vend\u00e9e Globe to the small and medium-sized companies and give hope to the young people. We’re in a sick situation here (…) When\u00a0you see that some people are making a third pair of foils, at 500,000 euros a pair, that’s the price of my boat<\/strong>\u00a0(…) And at the finish, the hydrofoil boats didn’t beat me by 24 hours”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yannick Bestaven:\u00a0“Having large foils is the solution”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Admittedly, the new machines didn’t make a huge difference in this Vend\u00e9e Globe. The fact remains that\u00a0the first four sailors to arrive in Les Sables d’Olonne all were foilers:<\/strong>\u00a0“We’re touching on something new, we’re still discovering our foilers,\u00a0I’m convinced that this is the future<\/strong>“,<\/em>\u00a0commented Thomas Ruyant, who ended up sixth in the repair game. Just before him, Yannick Bestaven, who won on a 2016 generation boat, summed it up:\u00a0“You can’t use the foils all the time, we saw it in the Indian. But in the Indian, when I had a tidy sea, if I’d had large foils, I would have come back faster at Thomas,\u00a0so having large foils is the solution<\/strong>“.<\/em><\/p>\n

“The boats of the 2020 generation were young,”<\/em>\u00a0says Antoine Mermod. “You have to understand that there was a real technological breakthrough between 2016, with daggerboard boats to which foils were put, and these real foilers capable of “semi-flying”. Most of them were launched in the summer of 2019 and\u00a0we lost half of the sailing time planned for this year because of the Covid, that’s a lot<\/strong>“.<\/em><\/p>\n

S\u00e9bastien Josse shares the analysis of the president of the Imoca class:\u00a0“The technological revolution is not to be questioned, but\u00a0the planning of projects is becoming shorter and shorter<\/strong>\u00a0while the boats are more and more technical. In particular, the preparation for the English Transat, which is for me is an acid test of reliability, was missing, because you find yourself facing the elements for 7 days”.<\/em>\u00a0For Pascal Bid\u00e9gorry, “it’s really pushing it to put a foiler in the water less than a year and a half before the start”.<\/em><\/p>\n

The architects will have to review their modelling<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0winner of the last Volvo Ocean Race\u00a0gives us food for thought: “We’re going to have to review the hull shapes<\/strong>\u00a0that I find a little too tense. The boats are super fast when reaching, but downwind VMG, you are constantly under water, a 30 knot stroke, a 15 knot stroke, it’s not human and it’s dangerous because you can hurt yourself and break equipment, it’s an endless loop”.<\/em>\u00a0S\u00e9bastien Josse adds:\u00a0“The size of the foils is a question<\/strong>, they offer considerable gains when sailing upwind at full speed, with the wind on the beam and the reaching down, but when sailing downwind in the sea, as they are not 100% retractable, they become a handicap”.<\/em><\/p>\n

What does Quentin Lucet, who has worked on three of the eight new foilers – Charal, Hugo Boss and DMG Mori – think? “There are phases in the Atlantic where the latest generation boats have done well because they have a greater capacity for acceleration. But\u00a0in the South Seas, the rhythm has not been found<\/strong>, the boats have stumbled in the waves, so we will have to try to find the right geometry to have some revival capacities.\u00a0We may have gone too far on the size of the foils<\/strong>, it’s a question that we shouldn’t be ashamed to ask ourselves. I am however frustrated not to have seen Hugo Boss launched with his foils in the Indian Ocean, because I think he had a slightly different concept from the others and a different potential on these paces”.<\/em><\/p>\n

However, he acknowledges that the architects will have to review their modelling in the light of this Vend\u00e9e Globe: “What is certain is that the design of a new boat must be approached in a slightly more subtle way, by\u00a0putting man more in the middle than before<\/strong>, but also by considering all the degraded modes more”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fran\u00e7ois Gabart appeals to history to avoid drawing hasty conclusions: “The last and only time a new boat did not win the Vend\u00e9e Globe was in 2004. And then 18 new boats had been built! There is a form of disappointment compared to what we imagined the performances of the last generation of Imoca, but\u00a0that doesn’t mean that in four years time, the foilers won’t take 60 days<\/strong>…”<\/em><\/p>\n
