With five months to go before the start of his second Vend\u00e9e Globe, the German skipper took time out to answer Tip &amp; Shaft&#8217;s questions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u25ba Did these results\u00a0come as a surprise to you, or was it something you were aiming for? \u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nFor me, it&#8217;s very difficult to aim for a podium today in the Imoca class, it&#8217;s getting more and more complicated, there are about fifteen skippers who can now claim to win, it&#8217;s a good battle every time. So\u00a0<strong>I&#8217;m very happy with this result, but it&#8217;s not an unlikely surprise<\/strong>. We&#8217;ve put in a lot of hard work over the last few years, and we&#8217;ve got one of the best teams in the class. It&#8217;s also\u00a0<strong>the team which, with Biotherm, has put the most miles on the boat<\/strong>\u00a0over the last two years. It&#8217;s great to see that this investment is leading to such fine results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>\u25ba Can you tell us about the radical option you took on the New York-Vend\u00e9e to pass to the north of the anticyclone?<\/strong><br \/>\nEverything was a bit surprising on this return race, with a particularly blocked weather situation for 15 days. There was no flow allowing the sailors to progress eastwards. When the talweg from which Charlie Dalin and I first escaped caught up with me an hour later, I found myself stuck again. Finally,\u00a0<strong>by a miracle, I got some wind again<\/strong>\u00a0and managed to get out to the east. At that point, I was so afraid that it would catch me again that\u00a0<strong>I decided to get away as quickly as possible<\/strong>, perpendicular to the front. I sailed for 12 hours on a course 35 degrees steeper than Charlie, maybe even more. After that, we had a lateral gap of over 100 miles, and\u00a0<strong>all my routings had me going nort<\/strong>h, and even winning via this option. The alternative route of heading south-east to line up behind Charlie was risky, as the routings told me that the fleet was in a position to escape the front, so I risked losing a lot and finishing fifth or tenth.\u00a0On the other hand, if I took gybes and tacks into account, the northerly route was shorter than the southeasterly one. So the safest and most logical option for me was to continue north.\u00a0<strong>It wasn&#8217;t a risky intuition or an emotional choice, but a rational and scientific one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u25ba How did you experience this option, alone in the north? Did you ever have any doubts?<\/strong><br \/>\nI had doubts 48 hours after putting myself in this extreme position, because the models were so unstable.\u00a0<strong>My mood would change a little every 12 hours<\/strong>\u00a0depending on the models. One minute, it would pass and I&#8217;d win, the next, I&#8217;d take another four days because the anticyclone was shifting eastwards and blocking the downwind descent.\u00a0<strong>For three days, it was suspense every time<\/strong>\u00a0I launched the routing.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s a whole package at play&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>\u25ba What do you think of your boat&#8217;s performance today?\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nAt times, when I was sailing in the pack of favorites,\u00a0<strong>I myself was surprised to see my boat come out ahead after a few hours<\/strong>. This was the case on a downwind reach in very unstable conditions. My boat is rounder, as are the foils, and it&#8217;s so forgiving that it&#8217;s a little easier to exploit in difficult, gusty conditions. It doesn&#8217;t run, it doesn&#8217;t luff and it holds\u00a0<strong>a good average speed<\/strong>, so it&#8217;s a pleasant surprise. It doesn&#8217;t show too much in the bay of Port-la-For\u00eat or on a Jacques Vabre, as it&#8217;s often quite stable in the trade winds, but\u00a0<strong>much more on the real offshore conditions<\/strong>. That was the intention behind the design of this VPLP plan, and I have the impression that it&#8217;s working well. The new pair of foils, the ballast and weight adjustments, the work on optimizing the sails and ergonomics,\u00a0<strong>it&#8217;s all part of the package<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<p><strong>\u25ba We knew that your VPLP design was fast downwind, but until now it seemed to have a slight deficit upwind. But over these two transatlantic races, it has done very well upwind. How do you explain this?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, the boat is now very fast upwind in a breeze. We&#8217;re keeping up with the best when there&#8217;s at least 20 knots of wind. And\u00a0<strong>it&#8217;s really our new foils that make this performance possible<\/strong>. The ones we had on The Ocean Race were bought in a bit of a hurry four weeks before the start of the race, after the initial foils broke. They weren&#8217;t optimized for Malizia and weren&#8217;t at the maximum rating, which explains why our boat was a little weak at times. For this new pair designed by Sam Manuard, we&#8217;ve kept the characteristics of the previous foils and enlarged them to the maximum rating (8 m3) to make up for the lack of performance in medium wind phases.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>&#8220;A new Imoca project in the pipeline&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u25ba After these two transatlantic races, you&#8217;re now one of the favorites for the Vend\u00e9e Globe, aren&#8217;t you?<\/strong><br \/>\nI have nothing against the term favorite, but I don&#8217;t want to put too much pressure on myself either. I also have a lot of respect for the quality of the fleet.\u00a0<strong>In my opinion, the fifth place I achieved in the last Vend\u00e9e Globe will be much harder to obtain<\/strong>\u00a0this time, given the level of the top fifteen boats. The Vend\u00e9e Globe remains a great adventure with a lot of uncertainties, but I obviously hope to be able to race at the front.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u25ba What are your plans after this round-the-world race?<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;m planning to race in The Ocean Race Europe, but that should be the last race on this boat, as\u00a0<strong>I&#8217;m putting her up for sale<\/strong>, as we&#8217;re hoping to find a buyer before the start of the Vend\u00e9e Globe\u00a0<em>[see mercato, below]<\/em>. In June 2025, Malizia will sail down the Mediterranean towards Monaco, giving the future buyer the opportunity to sail and train on her. In fact, we want to find a team that is looking ahead to the long term, so that we can make the best possible handover and enable her to race in the Transat Jacques Vabre.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u25ba Will you be setting sail on a new boat?\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, a new project is in the pipeline,\u00a0<strong>still within the Imoca class<\/strong>.
