In addition, the skipper will validate his\/her qualification only if his\/her race time is less than or equal to the race time of the first in the event plus 50%<\/em>.\u201c The five events are the Vend\u00e9e Arctic-Les Sables d\u2019Olonne and the Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe in 2022; Retour \u00e0 La Base in 2023; The Transat CIC and the New York-Vend\u00e9e-Les Sables, in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/retouralabase.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Retour \u00e0 La Base<\/a>\u00a0is therefore the only race to validate the first qualifying phase for the Vend\u00e9e Globe. Sailors who have not taken the start of the Arctic Vend\u00e9e or the Route du Rhum in 2022 with the boat on which they will compete in the Vend\u00e9e Globe are therefore\u00a0<strong>absolutely obliged to enter this solo event between Martinique and Lorient<\/strong>, raced at the end of the Transat Jacques Vabre (starting on November 26).<\/p>\n<p>Several skippers are involved in this, not least: Charlie Dalin, Thomas Ruyant, Yoann Richomme, \u00c9ric Bellion, Clarisse Cr\u00e9mer and Sam Goodchild.\u00a0<strong>Two skippers have yet to launch their boat: Jean Le Cam and Phil Sharp<\/strong>. Contacted by\u00a0<em>Tip &amp; Shaft<\/em>, Jean Le Cam&#8217;s team reveals that the launch of the David Raison design, sistership of Eric Bellion&#8217;s boat, should be in mid-October in Port-la-For\u00eat. The skipper of\u00a0<em>Tout Commence en Finist\u00e8re &#8211; Armor Lux<\/em>\u00a0will therefore not be at the start of the Transat Jacques Vabre and will go direct to Martinique on a delivery trip to take part in the Retour \u00e0 La Base.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Qualification: skippers under pressure<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Phil Sharp hopes to launch his new Imoca\u00a0<em>OceansLab<\/em>\u00a0at the end of September. \u201c<em>The boat will be delivered to the Black Pepper yard in Nantes, mid-August when all the systems will be added.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0explains the British skipper.\u00a0<em>\u201cI will be good for the start of the Transat Jacques Vabre and Retour \u00e0 La Base.\u00a0<strong>I will not be in race mode on the Transat Jacques Vabre<\/strong>, rather in \u201cprep\u201d mode to arrive in Martinique and be able to qualify for the Vend\u00e9e Globe.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Another sailor in this situation who plans to be on the start of Retour \u00e0 La Base to validate the first phase of his qualification:\u00a0<strong>S\u00e9bastien Simon, who should very soon formalize the acquisition of the Imoca winner of The Ocean Race<\/strong>,\u00a0<em>11th Hour Racing<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Also in this situation is Fabrice Amedeo, who lost his\u00a0<strong>\u2018golden ticket\u2019 when he was shipwrecked on the Route du Rhum<\/strong>.\u00a0<em>\u201cI have to qualify again with the boat that I bought after this accident.

The objective is very clear: it is absolutely necessary to get the boat to Martinique.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Finally, contacted by\u00a0<em>Tip &amp; Shaft<\/em>, Armel Tripon reveals that\u00a0<strong>the build of his new Imoca has not yet started<\/strong>. So he will certainly not be at the start of Retour \u00e0 La Base, but he still seems to hope that he has the possibility of racing his second edition of the non-stop solo round the world race.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, then, if one of the sailors mentioned above is not at the start of Retour \u00e0 La Base,\u00a0<strong>participation in the Vend\u00e9e Globe will become theoretically impossible<\/strong>. Race Director Lemonnier recalls that \u201c<em>the rules were published in September 2021<\/em>\u201d and that there are therefore \u201c<em>no surprises<\/em>\u201d. But in the notice of race, however, there is an exemption clause: \u201c<em>In the event of major damage occurring in the Transat Jacques Vabre 2023 making it impossible for the pair (skipper-boat, editor\u2019s note) to participate in the return race of the Transat Jacques Vabre 2023, the OA (Organizing Authority) may grant a derogation and accept that the start of the Transat Jacques Vabre 2023 replaces the start of the return race.<\/em>\u201d The race director is cautious on this subject:\u00a0<em>\u201cWith this derogation, we leave ourselves a possibility, just in case,\u00a0<strong>but don&#8217;t count on it.<\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The mile race is in full swing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The other hot issue is that of the selection of qualified skippers if the number of candidates exceeds the quota of 40 participants.\u00a0<strong>This represents the famous \u201crace for miles\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0which, with 43 candidates announced, will surely be needed. In the event of demand outstripping the places available, competitors will be selected on the number of miles accumulated over the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoca.org\/en\/races\/imoca-globe-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">12 races of the Imoca Globe Series<\/a>, together with a system of coefficients (1 for the single-handed race, 0.5 for the double, 0.25 for The Ocean Race \u2013 to a limit of 5,000 miles &#8211; and 1.5 for New York-Vend\u00e9e because the Saem Vend\u00e9e wishes to encourage racers to compete in this last dress rehearsal before the Vend\u00e9e Globe, which it also organises).<\/p>\n<p>NB, an Important point:\u00a0<strong>the rule does not specify that these miles must be obtained with the same boat as that for the Vend\u00e9e Globe<\/strong>. This a sailor like Sam Goodchild, who has not yet racked up any miles on his Imoca\u00a0<em>For The Planet<\/em>, has already accumulated 5,000 miles by participating in several legs of The Ocean Race aboard\u00a0<em>Holcim-PRB<\/em>. This is also the case for Nicolas Lunven, who has clocked up more than 10,000 miles, but has no project of his own, so far\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>Some candidates have fallen behind, like\u00a0<strong>Louis Burton<\/strong>\u00a0who is paying for his two dismasting in the Transat Jacques Vabre 2021 and the Route du Rhum 2022. \u201c<em>I am now obliged to finish all the races,\u00a0<\/em>he admits<em>. This changes his situation in terms of technical choices and managing the races<\/em>\u201d, Burton says \u201c<em>this mode of selection generates stress<\/em>.\u201d The twice Vend\u00e9e Globe finisher is tied with the Chinese\u00a0<strong>Xu Jing Kun<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Nicolas Rouger<\/strong>\u00a0(3,550 miles), ahead of Japan\u2019s\u00a0<strong>Kojiro Shiraishi<\/strong>\u00a0(2,643 miles).<\/p>\n<p>Clarisse Cr\u00e9mer\u00a0<strong>has zero miles and is going to start her counter on the Fastnet<\/strong>:\u00a0<em>&#8220;I tried to do stages of The Ocean Race, it wasn&#8217;t possible, so it&#8217;s very important for me to be on this Fastnet&#8221;,<\/em>\u00a0explained the sailor\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sailorz.com\/en\/imoca-en\/clarisse-cremer-im-a-little-rusty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">last week<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0<em>Tip &amp; Shaft<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The puzzle of new boats<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there is the specific rule regarding sailors lining up with a new boat. These don\u2019t need to be in the race for miles, but with a limit: the notice of race specifies that only the first 13 new Imocas to have started one of the five qualifying races detailed above will be guaranteed to be on the starting line.\u00a0<strong>However, now there are 14 skippers who are candidates for the Vend\u00e9e Globe with a new boat<\/strong>. The recent arrival of S\u00e9bastien Simon on the list has reshuffled the cards a bit, since his Verdier design bought from 11th Hour Racing Team is the first of the boats built after the last Vend\u00e9e Globe.<\/p>\n<p>In this list, we also find Kevin Escoffier, but\u00a0<strong>it seems very unlikely that he will be able to line up at the start of the Vend\u00e9e Globe<\/strong>, after his case alleging &#8220;<em>sexual assault or inappropriate behavior<\/em>&#8221; for which\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.francetvinfo.fr\/societe\/justice\/une-enquete-ouverte-a-paris-apres-un-signalement-visant-le-navigateur-kevin-escoffier_5936231.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Paris prosecutor&#8217;s office opened an investigation on July 6<\/a>. According to our information,\u00a0<strong>the sponsor has not yet made a decision on the continuation of the project<\/strong>. But\u00a0<em>Holcim-PRB<\/em>\u00a0is entered into that quota for new boats and could remain in the qualification and selection process for the Vend\u00e9e Globe, provided that it takes &#8211; at least &#8211; the start of Retour \u00e0 La Base with a new skipper.<\/p>\n<p>If 14 skippers are well committed on new boats, one of them will not be automatically selected.
