On November 4th the organizers of The Ocean Race<\/strong>\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0that the start of the next edition would be\u00a0postponed by around two months<\/strong>\u00a0and that the new course would be altered\u00a0to remove planned stops in China and New Zealand<\/strong>. What is the purpose of these changes? Will they attract more Imoca teams? Tip & Shaft investigates.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Ocean Race 2022\/2023, the start of which was to have been from Alicante in early autumn 2022, will finally start “in late December 2022 \/ early January 2023<\/strong>“. This is a new change of date for an edition that was initially scheduled for 2021 \/ 2022 but postponed for a year due to the health crisis.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0health situation<\/strong>\u00a0is still the root cause of this postponement, the co-owner of the race,\u00a0Johan Sal\u00e9n<\/strong>, explained to Tip & Shaft when we met in Le Havre, just before the start of the Transat Jacques Vabre: \u201cWe had two stages planned in China and New Zealand, two countries where a zero Covid policy is applied, and so today\u00a0we do not have the guarantees to make stopovers in good conditions<\/strong>. As we needed to complete the course now for other cities, teams and sponsors, we decided to remove them and make\u00a0an epic stage in the South<\/strong>, which will be the perfect opportunity to \u00a0celebrate 50 years since the first Whitbread [the first edition was run in 1973\/1974, Editor’s note].” That epic stage is\u00a012,750 miles between Cape Town and Itajai<\/strong>\u00a0(Brazil), the longest stage ever run in the history of the crewed round the world race.<\/p>\n

These major changes have\u00a0reduced the total duration of the race<\/strong>, hence the delay in the date of approximately two months: \u201cThe elimination of the stopovers in the South made us then arrive too early in Newport, at a time when it would be cold, even with snow,\u00a0the only solution was to leave later<\/strong>, that also made it possible to keep the same finish dates,\u201d confirms Johan Salen. And of course this is a postponement which has another interesting consequence for the organizers: “It also allows,\u00a0the possibility of the boats which will race the Route du Rhum also to do the The Ocean Race<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

\nMore teams around the table<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The change has pleased\u00a0Antoine Mermod<\/strong>, the president of the Imoca class, who wanted the alteration: \u201cThe fact of repositioning The Ocean Race during late 2022 has the advantage that this second round-the-world race falls right between two Vend\u00e9e Globes, on the other hand, but it had posed the problem of the clash of dates with the Route du Rhum, which was not good.\u00a0This development resolves this problem<\/strong>.” But the big question is \u2018will it allow more Imoca teams to line up at the start of The Ocean Race?\u2019<\/p>\n

To date, they are\u00a0just three which have formalized their participation<\/strong>: 11th Hour Racing Team, Malizia-Yacht Club of Monaco and an Italian team not yet revealed. Offshore Team Germany, winners of The Ocean Race Europe in June, has not yet completed its budget, but remains confident, as its team manager\u00a0Jens Kuphal<\/strong>\u00a0told Tip & Shaft: \u201cWe desperately were waiting for the announcement of the final route since we could not get into to deeper talks because of lacking a realistic budget, territories, dates and also other uncertainties. This now has changed and we are intensely working to make the next steps as other Imoca teams which just recently joined the table. For our part\u00a0we will do everything possible to be at startline<\/strong>\u00a0in a little than a year time and I am pretty optimistic about it.”<\/p>\n

On the French side, no team has yet formalized its participation in the race, but Antoine Mermod feels that the changes announced can now mobilise some teams: \u201cWe organized a meeting the next day in Le Havre,\u00a0we still had 10 teams around the table, when before we had 5 or 6<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAn additional cost to be found\u2026..<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tip & Shaft did go around the Paul Vatine basin to poll some teams.\u00a0For some these changes don\u2019t change anything<\/strong>, The Ocean Race was not on the program and will not be: \u201cBetween the Route du Rhum with Apivia 1 and the build of the new boat, it is not at all in our arena.\u201d , Confirms Jean-Luc N\u00e9lias, team manager of\u00a0Apivia<\/strong>. “For us, it is too much budget, a big commitment to allow ourselves to do that, it is not at all in our plans,” replied Ronan Lucas, boss of the\u00a0Banque Populaire Team<\/strong>. And it is the same position for\u00a0Fabrice Amedeo<\/strong>: “These changes are moves in the right direction, but The Ocean Race is\u00a0three million euros more over two years<\/strong>\u00a0compared to our initial budget, I don’t feel my partners are keen to go there.”<\/p>\n

The organizers and Imoca are trying\u00a0to reduce the required budget<\/strong>\u00a0as much as possible and the elimination of the two Chinese and New Zealand stopovers, even if this was not the initial goal are positive moves in this direction. “It necessarily reduces costs. From the logistical point of view it is much simpler because\u00a0everything will remain in the Atlantic<\/strong>\u201d, confirms Johan Sal\u00e9n.<\/p>\n

Imoca\u2019s Mermod adds: “We think it is possible to participate in The Ocean Race with a lower budget [than the 3 million announced by Fabrice Amedeo, Editor’s note], we are working in any case to make it as accessible as possible in terms of assistance with the logistics part,\u00a0we will try to offer a universal package to all<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

\nTight timing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is the costs, the budgetary argument, that is most often cited by those who are not attracted to participate in The Ocean Race. But that is not the only reason: \u201cThe race is complicated to fit into a typical Vend\u00e9e Globe programme\u201d, analyses Alain Gautier,\u00a0MACSF<\/strong>\u00a0team manager. \u201cAnd there is the risk aspect. You just don\u2019t want to add in that risk of going into the South. Yes, it is great down there but on an Imoca with five in the South you push harder than solo, so it’s\u00a0taking the major risk of having major technical problems<\/strong>\u00a0down there when the real aim of the project is the Vend\u00e9e Globe.”<\/p>\n

This is a concern shared by\u00a0Alan Roura<\/strong>: \u201cWe must be careful not to mix up projects<\/strong>. As part of a Vend\u00e9e Globe project, there is still a lot of risk involved in The Ocean Race.\u201d However, the Swiss sailor reflects on the project, but he says he would rather see a longer-term project geared specifically towards The Ocean Race. That is also the case for the\u00a0Bureau Vall\u00e9e<\/strong>\u00a0team, as Servane Escoffier, its team manager, confirms: \u201cThe Ocean Race is a race we dream of, but it’s complicated to change your schedule one year from the start. To be honest,\u00a0we are looking more at the next edition, with a real desire to go on that one<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Team manager of\u00a0Initiatives C\u0153ur<\/strong>, David Sineau, also considers the timing tight: “The new format is a bit of a game-changer,\u00a0it becomes more realistic to look at the race as part of the program<\/strong>. For projects with a new boat that would be ready, that can be interesting, we saw in the last Vend\u00e9e Globe that many had lacked racing in the Southern Oceans. Now the timing is not really clear, because discussions with our partners have already taken place.\u00a0I am watching the file with interest, but it is a bit late<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greg Evrard, his counterpart at Corum L\u2019\u00c9pargne, said: \u201cThe Ocean Race has not been an option for us until now. Now that the race is compatible with the Rhum,\u00a0it deserves some study<\/strong>, even if it is not easy to go on a round-the-world race when you have just finished a Route du Rhum and a year of solo racing.”<\/p>\n

Between 6 and 10 Imocas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If most of those we spoke to believe that these changes are going in the right direction, few, in the end, seem ready to take the plunge, with the exception of the\u00a0TR Racing team<\/strong>, whose executive director Thomas Gaveriaux has said: “For a while now, we have been in discussions with the organizers, we are working with 11th Hour, Mailizia and now other teams to find a race format that can be compatible with these other events and engage the maximum number of participants. These changes open up the possibilities a little more.”<\/p>\n

But, ultimately, will the team be at the start of Alicante? “Our priority remains the participation of Thomas (Ruyant) on the next Vend\u00e9e Globe. He will get his new boat at the beginning of 2023, he will focus on it. As it stands now\u00a0we would like the current boat to take part<\/strong>. It does remain to be seen with what complement of crew and partners. We are looking at how we can put the project in place. For sure there is work to be done with other potential teams to share costs.”<\/p>\n

Some are now waiting for the final dates as promised by Johan Sal\u00e9n to be published, “before Christmas”, and above all for the cost studies to be completed. And so how many Imoca teams will be at the start in a little over a year? Johan Sal\u00e9n reckons “2-3 other very likely international teams, and, we hope, 2-3 French<\/strong>“. At Imoca, Antoine Mermod believes: \u201cIf we have between\u00a06 and 10 Imoca and between 4 and 6 VO65, it will be a success<\/strong>. The race was much more impacted by Covid, than others events, occurring at a time just when it was reinventing itself. ”
