As before every major event,\u00a0<\/em>Tip & Shaft\u00a0has invited a panel of experts to analyse the\u00a0line-up for the\u00a0<\/em>Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0which starts on 6th November. In this first part dedicated to the\u00a0<\/em>Imoca<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/em>Ocean Fifty\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>competitors, we talked to Antoine\u00a0<\/em>Mermod<\/em><\/strong>, the president of the Imoca class, Jeanne\u00a0<\/em>Gr\u00e9goire<\/em><\/strong>, head of the P\u00f4le Finist\u00e8re Ocean Racing training centre, Daniel\u00a0<\/em>Souben<\/em><\/strong>, trainer in La Trinit\u00e9-sur-mer for Orlabay, the sailors, Yann\u00a0<\/em>Eli\u00e8s<\/em><\/strong>, Christopher\u00a0<\/em>Pratt<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and Vincent\u00a0<\/em>Riou<\/em><\/strong>, as well as Jacques\u00a0<\/em>Guyader<\/em><\/strong>, journalist with\u00a0<\/em>Ouest-France.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

IMOCA: THE FAVOURITE, HIS RIVAL AND THE CHASING PACK<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The pressure will be on\u00a0Charlie Dalin<\/strong>\u00a0at the start in Saint-Malo. Not because this is his first Route du Rhum, but simply because he is the favourite. After dominating the three events this year –\u00a0Guyader Bermudes 1000 Race, Vend\u00e9e Arctique and the Azimut Challenge –\u00a0the skipper of\u00a0Apivia<\/em>\u00a0was beyond reach<\/strong>\u00a0and while he has not yet won the race, he will be the one to beat.<\/p>\n

Yann Eli\u00e8s who was his co-skipper, believes\u00a0“the boat has reached maturity and the skipper is rigorous, focused, psychologically solid and above all\u00a0<\/em>capable of really putting his foot down,<\/em><\/strong>“<\/em>\u00a0as we saw in the Azimut Challenge and then the two training sessions organised in Port-la-For\u00eat.\u00a0“We can be certain that Charlie will continue to find ways to progress, even if they are minor points before 6th November,”<\/em>\u00a0declared Jeanne Gr\u00e9goire.<\/p>\n

All of our consultants noted that\u00a0Apivia<\/em>\u00a0has an advantage when reaching, which may be the deciding factor at the start of the transatlantic race, even if for Christopher Pratt,\u00a0“the actual situation may be very different: they may catch up from behind as in the Transat Jacques Vabre last year, and downwind sailing represents two thirds of the course.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0That is why many see\u00a0Thomas Ruyant as Charlie Dalin\u2019s most serious rival<\/strong>, as he is\u00a0“capable too of keeping up a hellish pace,”<\/em>\u00a0noted Jacques Guyader, and he was the winner of the Transat Jacques Vabre\u00a0where\u00a0Apivia<\/em>\u00a0had been the favourite.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Beyou is further advanced
\nin his preparation than four years ago”<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Behind these two skippers, the fight will be on.\u00a0“The<\/em>\u00a0Route du Rhum has always seen the strong come out on top<\/em><\/strong>. Those who did well in the last Vend\u00e9e Globe will be the ones to watch,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>suggestedAntoine Mermod.\u00a0\u201cBut this is the first time that so many new boats have entered the race and the standard of preparation is high.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Among them,\u00a0J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Beyou<\/strong>\u00a0will be sailing his new\u00a0Charal<\/em>\u00a0designed by Sam Manuard with an innovative rudder system, which stabilises the boat when flying.\u00a0“<\/em>Charal\u00a0seems to be a strong boat and I feel that J\u00e9r\u00e9mie is very confident.\u00a0<\/em>He is much further advanced in his preparation than four years ago<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and has had the support of Franck Cammas, who rarely gets things wrong and he is still looking for a major win on an Imoca,”<\/em>\u00a0added Jacques Guyader.<\/p>\n

Kevin Escoffier<\/strong>\u00a0(Holcim PRB<\/em>) and\u00a0Maxime Sorel<\/strong>\u00a0(V and B-Monbana-Mayenne<\/em>) are names that often crop up when looking at this sort of list. They soon got to grips with their Verdier designed boats and did well in their first event, the Azimut Challenge. Just like Christopher Pratt and Vincent Riou, Yann Eli\u00e8s added\u00a0Justine Mettraux\u2019<\/strong>s name to the list,\u00a0“a warrior, who has everything it takes to succeed and has a boat that has been tried and tested.”<\/em><\/p>\n

There are two unknowns to consider:\u00a0Louis Burton<\/strong>,\u00a0“always ready to leap onto the podium if a place appears,”<\/em>\u00a0noted Jeanne Gr\u00e9goire, and the only skipper along with Charlie Dalin whose Imoca foils fit in with the old rules (so are bigger). We know that the skipper from Saint-Malo is capable of keeping up a fast pace, even if his preparation is a bit of a mystery for many.\u00a0As for\u00a0Yannick Bestaven<\/strong>\u00a0(Ma\u00eetre Coq V<\/em>), he does not appear to have the right timing to shine, but having won the last Vend\u00e9e Globe, his name comes up more often than others in the same situation.<\/p>\n

Sam Davies<\/strong>\u00a0(Initiatives Coeur<\/em>) for example,\u00a0Boris Herrmann<\/strong>\u00a0(Malizia Seaexplorer<\/em>)\u00a0and the title-holder,\u00a0Paul Meilhat<\/strong>\u00a0(Biotherm<\/em>). Like Kevin Escoffier and Benjamin Dutreux, the latter two have to compete in The Ocean Race less than two months after the finish in Pointe-\u00e0-Pitre,\u00a0“a series of races that looks as appealing as a mountain to climb<\/em>,\u201d according to Vincent Riou.\u00a0“For those starting a new relationship with their sponsor, the extra pressure may affect their race ability.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The top three according to our<\/strong>\u00a0experts :<\/strong>\u00a01. Charlie Dalin (Apivia<\/em>), 2. Thomas Ruyant (LinkedOut<\/em>), 3. Justine Mettraux (Teamwork<\/em>) and\u00a0J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Beyou (Charal<\/em>).<\/p>\n

OCEAN FIFTY: A WIDE OPEN BATTLE\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

With eight trimarans lining up, the Ocean Fifty category is the smallest along with the Ultims in this Route du Rhum, but it is also\u00a0one of the most undecided<\/strong>. The Pro Sailing Tour, which is the basis of the calendar for the class, has seen many contests over the past couple of years with three sailors standing out according to Jacques Guyader:\u00a0“<\/em>Sam Goodchild, Quentin Vlamynck and S\u00e9bastien Rogues\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>seem to be that bit above the rest, but this is a crew championship,”<\/em>\u00a0summed up the journalist from\u00a0Ouest-France<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This may change the pecking order for these 50-foot multihulls for which the Route du Rhum represents the most ambitious challenge. For our three racers and experts, who have each raced at least one transatlantic race aboard these boats,\u00a0Sam Goodchild (Leyton<\/em>) is from this point of view a length ahead<\/strong>:\u00a0“Sam really knows what he is doing sailing solo, having launched his boat early on. She is a good all-rounder and he has worked with very good people,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>said Christopher Pratt.\u00a0“He is just the right age for this type of race. Experienced, but not yet full of rust!”<\/em>\u00a0added Vincent Riou, who followed the Pro Sailing Tour this year alongside Thibaut Vauchel-Camus (Solidaires en Peloton-Arsep<\/em>) for whom he will be the router in the Route du Rhum.<\/p>\n

Talking of age, Quentin Vlamynck is the youngest skipper in the group. A newcomer to the event, but winner of the 2022 Pro Sailing Tour,\u00a0the skipper of\u00a0Arkema<\/em>\u00a0is one people wonder about<\/strong>:\u00a0“Quentin may want to take it calmly at the start of the race and will have to overcome his emotions<\/em>,\u201d commented Daniel Souben, who trained the Ocean Fifty fleet three times this year in the framework of the Orlabay training group in\u00a0 La Trinit\u00e9.\u00a0“But he has shown he knows what he is doing and knows his boat like then back of his hand,”<\/em>\u00a0he added, having seen the boat built in the yard run by his mentor in M\u00e9doc, Lalou Roucayrol.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Two former winners to keep an eye on<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The third skipper whose name comes up most is S\u00e9bastien Rogues (Primonial<\/em>),\u00a0“with all lights on green<\/em>,\u201d according to Christopher Pratt. \u201cVictory in the<\/em>\u00a0Transat Jacques Vabre, the\u00a0<\/em>construction of a new boat with his sponsor,\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>he feels confident and he has the timing right.”\u00a0<\/em>These three skippers may make it tough for two former winners who are competing:\u00a0Armel Tripon<\/strong>\u00a0(Les Ptits Doudous<\/em>) won last time around, but his season was upset when his boat was dismasted.\u00a0“He is lacking preparation, but I\u2019m not that certain he was better prepared four years ago!”<\/em>\u00a0warned Daniel Souben.<\/p>\n

As for Erwan Le Roux (Koesio<\/em>), the winner in 2014, he has so far struggled to get the most out of his new VPLP designed boat (launched in 2021).\u00a0“He has a huge amount of experience that could make all the difference, but\u00a0he no longer has the lead that he had in the past<\/strong>; he sails in the pack and has to get used to that,”\u00a0<\/em>noted Yann Eli\u00e8s, who won the 2013 Transat Jacques Vabre with him and will be helping Jean-Yves Bernot with his routing. That is something that may count too,\u00a0according to Daniel Souben :\u00a0“<\/em>Those who work for a long time with the same router have a trump card up their sleeve<\/em><\/strong>. You can feel confident, do not hesitate and follow instructions, which means you can get through a transition and gain a real advantage.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The weather factor will also be a determining one<\/strong>, perhaps even more with the Ocean Fifty boats than for the other classes. Strong winds may allow older boats (Eric P\u00e9ron\u2019s\u00a0Komilfo<\/em>) or those that intrinsically perform less well (Solidaires en Peloton-Arsep<\/em>\u00a0skippered by Thibaut Vauchel Camus) to succeed.<\/p>\n

The top three according to our experts:<\/strong>\u00a01. Sam Goodchild (Leyton<\/em>), 2. S\u00e9bastien Rogues (Primonial<\/em>), 3. Quentin Vlamyinck (Arkema<\/em>).<\/p>\n
