The start of the Transat Caf\u00e9 L\u2019Or<\/strong>\u00a0was given in two stages last weekend, Saturday for the Ocean Fifty, Sunday for the three other classes (to follow on our website<\/a>).\u00a0<\/em>Sailorz\u00a0looks back at the first few days and discusses the current weather challenges, in the company of\u00a0Jean-Yves Bernot<\/strong>, weather specialist and router, Imoca skipper\u00a0Nicolas Lunven<\/strong>,\u00a0Erwan Le Draoulec<\/strong>, who capsized last Saturday on the Ocean Fifty\u00a0<\/em>Lazare x Hellio, and\u00a0Erwan Isra\u00ebl<\/strong>, member of the Gitana Team.<\/em>\n<\/div>\n

Ultim:\u00a0SVR-Lazartigue<\/em>\u00a0in control<\/span><\/h2>\n
\nAfter five days of racing,\u00a0SVR-Lazartigue<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(Tom Laperche\/Franck Cammas), having shed the competition from\u00a0Banque Populaire XI<\/em>\u00a0off the English Channel, which was forced to stop in Lorient due to rudder damage, is firmly installed at the forefront of the Transat Caf\u00e9 L\u2019Or.\u00a0“It’s a shame that\u00a0<\/em>Banque Pop\u00a0had this damage, we would have liked to see them in contact, but it’s really\u00a0clean in terms of trajectories and speed<\/strong>,”<\/em>\u00a0notes Jean-Yves Bernot, regarding the leader.<\/p>\n

“We can talk about a faultless performance<\/strong>,”<\/em>\u00a0agrees Erwan Isra\u00ebl.\u00a0“They have the slight edge in speed over their direct competitors which allows them not to take risks, to be\u00a0just conservative enough<\/strong>, and therefore not to make mistakes; we saw it again this Friday with their route around Cape Verde to the west.”<\/em>\u00a0Conversely,\u00a0Sodebo Ultim 3<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(Thomas Coville\/Benjamin Schwartz)\u00a0was more daring<\/strong>, notably crossing the Canaries between the islands, which makes Jean-Yves Bernot say:\u00a0“Wind shadows are always the same thing, they start well and end badly. It’s a strategy I don’t like very much, because\u00a0you gain little and lose a lot<\/strong>, even if, ultimately, they didn’t do so badly.”<\/em><\/p>\n

For Erwan Isra\u00ebl,\u00a0“the move almost worked, even if the operation turned out to be somewhat neutral because they had a slightly stronger wind shadow than expected. I don’t know if that put them off and if that’s the reason why\u00a0they chose to go around Cape Verde to the east.<\/strong>“<\/em>\u00a0An option not followed by\u00a0Actual Ultim 4<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(Anthony Marchand\/Julien Villion), the former\u00a0Maxi Edmond de Rothschild<\/em>, third this Friday, about whom Jean-Yves Bernot notes:\u00a0“They seem a little slower at times, but that may seem normal, because\u00a0these boats take so long to get a handle on<\/strong>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

What about\u00a0Banque Populaire XI<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(Armel Le Cl\u00e9ac\u2019h\/S\u00e9bastien Josse), trailing the leader by about 250 miles? Can they hope to catch up?\u00a0“In the short term, they will lose more ground due to weakening trade winds,”<\/em>\u00a0replies Erwan Isra\u00ebl.\u00a0“Where the others passed at 30 knots flying, they should be at 15-20 in displacement mode. Then,\u00a0the answer is in the Doldrums<\/strong>\u00a0which start very far north, around 10-11\u00b0, and which\u00a0<\/em>SVR\u00a0should hit quite early, Saturday morning. There are big differences according to the models,\u00a0some are very alarming and suggest a big compression for the top three<\/strong>. Personally, I’m not convinced it will be that horrible. What is certain is that the situation\u00a0improves over time, and the later you arrive, the better it will be.”<\/em>\u00a0Enough to give the defending champions a little more hope…\n<\/div>\n

Ocean Fifty:\u00a0Edenred<\/em>\u00a0already sharp<\/span><\/h2>\n
\nHaving started Saturday afternoon to avoid the very difficult conditions forecast in the English Channel the next day, the Ocean Fifty nonetheless had a tough introduction which saw\u00a0three of them capsize one after the other<\/strong>, in order\u00a0Lazare x Hellio<\/em>\u00a0(Erwan Le Draoulec\/Tanguy Le Turquais), following the breakage of a float,\u00a0Koesio<\/em>\u00a0(Erwan Le Roux\/Audrey Ogereau) and\u00a0Inter Invest<\/em>\u00a0(Matthieu Perraut\/Jeab-Baptiste Gell\u00e9e), victims of sudden squalls.<\/p>\n

Although he took some time to look at the chart again, Erwan Le Draoulec admits he was\u00a0“blown away by the demonstration of Pierre (Quiroga) and Gaston (Morvan) at the start of the race,<\/strong>“<\/em>\u00a0adding:\u00a0“The older boats like\u00a0<\/em>Wewise\u00a0are certainly a little less flighty and stronger, but their weather track was exemplary.”<\/em>\u00a0They were finally caught by\u00a0Edenred<\/em>\u00a0(Basile Bourgnon\/Emmanuel Le Roch) on Tuesday shortly before the Canaries.\u00a0“<\/em>Edenred\u00a0is really consistent<\/strong>, they make few errors when they are ahead, they have the speed that allows them to accelerate a little when they need it, they are agile in variable winds, I like what they are doing,”<\/em>\u00a0appreciates Jean-Yves Bernot.<\/p>\n

For Erwan Le Draoulec, the performance of the latest addition to the fleet (Romaric Neyhousser design), launched last July, is noteworthy:\u00a0“Basile and Manu, who didn’t have many miles to test it, were able to take advantage of the boat’s potential on the reach to catch up with\u00a0<\/em>Wewise\u00a0before the Canaries; they weren’t messing around! In light of the 24h Ultim, we thought they wouldn’t be very comfortable in light air, but\u00a0they crossed the light winds of the Canaries quite well<\/strong>, that’s a good point for them.”<\/em>\u00a0For him, the next 48 hours until they exit Cape Verde look particularly important:\u00a0“Light winds are not far to the south, we could see a new compression.\u00a0The first to extricate themselves from Cape Verde will have scored points<\/strong>, because after that, there are no more weather stops on the route.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Which doesn’t mean the game will be over, because\u00a0the transatlantic crossing itself can favor boats that perform well downwind<\/strong>, such as the defending champion\u00a0Solidaires en Peloton<\/em>\u00a0(Thibaut Vauchel-Camus\/Damien Seguin),\u00a0Le Rire M\u00e9decin Lamotte<\/em>\u00a0(Luke Berry\/Antoine Joubert) or\u00a0Viabilis Oc\u00e9ans<\/em>\u00a0(Baptiste Hulin\/Thomas Rouxel), who has come back into the match well after his pit stop in L’Aber Wrac’h.\u00a0“I did a transat with Thomas<\/em>\u00a0(Rouxel), adds Erwan Le Draoulec,\u00a0I know his talent at the helm and his sense of glide. In my opinion,\u00a0they must be rubbing their hands together to be there today<\/strong>, they will know how to get the potential out of their boat in the trade winds. Sometimes it’s also on these parts of the race that some make the difference. One or two knots more speed over a week of racing can make a lot of miles at the finish.”<\/em>\n<\/div>\n

Imoca: which way out?<\/span><\/h2>\n
\nAfter five days of racing, the battle in Imoca is raging, with a weather situation which, north of the Canaries, has completely reshuffled the deck and caused\u00a0a compression of the fleet with nine boats in less than 30 miles<\/strong>\u00a0this Friday! Up until then,\u00a0Macif Sant\u00e9 Pr\u00e9voyance<\/em>\u00a0(Sam Goodchild\/Lo\u00efs Berrehar), more comfortable upwind and leading out of the English Channel, then\u00a0Charal<\/em>\u00a0(J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Beyou\/Morgan Lagravi\u00e8re), which appeared very efficient downwind, had been at the forefront.\u00a0“I found that\u00a0<\/em>Charal\u00a0<\/strong>held the pace well<\/strong>, they made small modifications after the Vend\u00e9e Globe which allowed them to take a small step forward, which was confirmed in these downwind conditions,”<\/em>\u00a0notes Nicolas Lunven.<\/p>\n

Before explaining the current weather situation:\u00a0“For more than a week, we have been in an active low-pressure flow over our coasts, with fronts crossing the North Atlantic and pushing the Azores high very far south, so\u00a0the area of light winds has moved to the immediate north of the Canaries<\/strong>. Since the archipelago is a course mark<\/em>\u00a0(to be left to starboard),\u00a0they are all forced to cross this zone to hope to catch the first signs of the trade winds as quickly as possible.”<\/em>\u00a0Everyone is trying to find the way out in these conditions, and\u00a0“between the one who has 2 knots of wind and the one who has 3 or 4, that can make a huge difference; generally, the one who gets out first catches the wind first,\u00a0the rich get richer<\/strong>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

This Friday, it is\u00a011th Hour Racing Team<\/em>\u00a0(Francesca Clapcich\/Will Harris) that is leading, but for Erwan Le Draoulec,\u00a0“they will all get out more or less at the same time<\/strong>,”<\/em>\u00a0while Jean-Yves Bernot estimates that\u00a0“once at the Canaries, they will have to go down again, before crossing the Atlantic, because the trade wind is poorly established.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Will the downwind descent in the trade wind then benefit the boats presumed to be comfortable in these conditions, like\u00a0Allagrande Mapei<\/em>\u00a0(Ambrogio Beccaria\/Thomas Ruyant) or\u00a0Charal<\/em>\u00a0based on what it has shown so far?\u00a0“Yes, from 18-20 knots, particularly for the Koch designs like\u00a0<\/em>Mapei, replies Nicolas Lunven.\u00a0If the trade wind is not very strong, around 15 knots, as seems to be the case for now,\u00a0the speed differences will not be significant<\/strong>\u00a0and the Verdier designs can also do well. In any case, we should see\u00a0a new start<\/strong>, which will make the second part of the race exciting.”<\/em>\n<\/div>\n

Class 40: the favorites are ahead<\/span><\/h2>\n
\nThe weather conditions at the end of the week at Cape Finisterre led the race management to run the Transat Caf\u00e9 L\u2019Or in two legs, with a neutralization of the fleet in La Coru\u00f1a, and a new start Saturday at 1 p.m. The ranking of the first leg, raced mostly upwind, in order\u00a0SNSM Faites un don!<\/em>\u00a0(Corentin Douguet\/Axel Tr\u00e9hin),\u00a0Seafrigo-Sogestran<\/em>\u00a0(Guillaume Pirouelle\/C\u00e9dric Chateau),\u00a0Amarris<\/em>\u00a0(Achille Nebout\/Gildas Mah\u00e9),\u00a0VSF Sports<\/em>\u00a0(Pep Costa\/Pablo Santurde) and\u00a0Legallais<\/em>\u00a0(Fabien Delahaye\/Pierre Leboucher), makes Jean-Yves Bernot say:\u00a0“The people we saw at the front in the pre-season races are there,\u00a0there is no secret, it means that work pays off<\/strong>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“The ranking is not surprising, those we expected are ahead,<\/em>\u00a0adds Erwan Le Draoulec, who has raced in Class40.\u00a0I spoke to Pep<\/em>\u00a0(Costa)\u00a0on the phone,\u00a0he told me that the speeds of the Lift V3<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(SNSM Faites un don!)\u00a0were impressive<\/strong>. Now, they have almost only raced upwind; the downwind is coming, which will undoubtedly reshuffle things, particularly in favor of the Italian boats<\/em>\u00a0(Musa 40)\u00a0which are very versatile.”<\/em><\/div>\n
