The Transat Caf\u00e9 L\u2019Or<\/strong>\u00a0has delivered part of its verdict with victories for the duos\u00a0Tom Laperche\/Franck Cammas<\/strong>\u00a0in Ultim,\u00a0Baptiste Hulin\/Thomas Rouxel<\/strong>\u00a0in Ocean Fifty, and\u00a0J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Beyou\/Morgan Lagravi\u00e8re<\/strong>\u00a0in Imoca.\u00a0<\/em>Sailorz\u00a0looks back at the end of the week, in the company of weather router Dominic\u00a0Vittet<\/strong>, Matthieu\u00a0Souben<\/strong>, winner of the transatlantic race in 2021 in Ocean Fifty, Erwan\u00a0Tabarly<\/strong>, coach at the Port-la-For\u00eat offshore racing hub, Yves\u00a0Le Blevec<\/strong>, director of Team Actual, and journalist Pierre-Marie\u00a0Bourguinat<\/strong>, editor in charge of covering the race for the organization.<\/em><\/div>\n

Ultim: a flawless performance by\u00a0SVR-Lazartigue<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

While some of our experts were not captivated by the Ultim race due to a fleet reduced to four boats and little suspense, they agree that the winner,\u00a0SVR-Lazartigue<\/em>, delivered a\u00a0“remarkably clean copy,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0with the right tacks, the right speed, and the right choices right from the start,”<\/em>\u00a0summarizes Yves Le Blevec. The latter adds:\u00a0“We can see that these boats take a long time to develop.\u00a0<\/em>SVR\u00a0was launched in 2021, and after four years, they have achieved something finished. Their great asset is that\u00a0they go very fast upwind<\/strong>\u2014aero is quite fundamental\u2014whereas downwind, there is much less difference between the boats.”<\/em>While this victory seemed rather easy from the outside, Pierre-Marie Bourguinat is keen to point out:\u00a0“Everything looks easy behind the tracker; the track is very beautiful, and it seems to unfold smoothly, but during the interviews,\u00a0Franck Cammas insisted several times on the level of nervous tension<\/strong>\u00a0that these boats generate, especially downwind in sustained trade winds. Benjamin Schwartz told me the same thing: they are right at the edge all the time.”<\/em><\/p>\n

And\u00a0Sodebo Ultim 3<\/em>\u00a0ultimately finished only 4 and a half hours behind the winner, which leads the journalist to say:\u00a0“They\u00a0clearly made up some of their\u00a0speed deficit<\/strong>\u00a0compared to the others, but perhaps at the cost of a greater physical expenditure than<\/em>\u00a0SVR, which at certain moments, sailed with a touch more security. I think Thomas and Benjamin pushed very hard in terms of personal demands in multiplying maneuvers.”<\/em><\/p>\n

What about\u00a0Actual Ultim 4<\/em>, which finished third?\u00a0“We might have expected to see them a little further ahead, but I think Anthony<\/em>\u00a0(Marchand who took over the former\u00a0Maxi Edmond de Rothschild<\/em>\u00a0last summer)\u00a0and Julien\u00a0still lack knowledge of the boat<\/strong>; they are in a learning phase.”<\/em>\u00a0Yves Le Blevec adds:\u00a0“This is a boat that was extensively developed until the Route du Rhum 2022. Since then,\u00a0it had been operated and maintained, but may be less optimized<\/strong><\/em>, because the Gitana Team was focused in the same time on the future<\/em>\u00a0Gitana 18.\u00a0Meanwhile, the other teams did not wait for us. For the future, we have already ordered upgrades that you will see appearing during 2026, and we are working on the validation of what will be implemented in 2027\u2014all of that takes time.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ocean Fifty: an “old school” podium<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

While the Transat Caf\u00e9 L\u2019Or had a rough start for the Ocean Fifty, with three capsizes on the first night, it captivated our experts, with an undecided battle right to the end and\u00a0four boats finishing less than 45 minutes apart in Fort-de-France<\/strong>. The suspense for the victory might not have been so intense if\u00a0Edenred<\/em>\u00a0(Basile Bourgnon\/Emmanuel Le Roch) hadn’t suffered damage on Monday night that prevented it from using its large gennaker, essential in the trade winds, on one tack.\u00a0“The boat is a little new<\/em>\u00a0(launched in July);\u00a0things are bound to break. For me, it takes\u00a0at least 12 to 18 months for an Ocean Fifty to truly reach maturity<\/strong>,”<\/em>\u00a0notes Matthieu Souben.\u00a0“That’s part of the sport, but we still saw that\u00a0<\/em>Edenred<\/strong>\u00a0had a speed advantage<\/strong>; when they wanted to accelerate, they quickly moved ahead,”<\/em>\u00a0adds Erwan Tabarly.At the finish,\u00a0Viabilis Oc\u00e9ans<\/em>\u00a0(Baptiste Hulin\/Thomas Rouxel) won<\/strong>, 17 minutes ahead of\u00a0Wewise<\/em>\u00a0(Pierre Quiroga\/Gaston Morvan) and 27 minutes ahead of\u00a0Le Rire M\u00e9decin-Lamotte<\/em>\u00a0(Luke Berry\/Antoine Joubert), boats launched in 2017 for the first two (VPLP designs), and in 2009 for the third (Verdier design).\u00a0“That means that\u00a0the rules are well enough made that there is no arms race<\/strong>\u00a0and that you can remain competitive on the scale of a transatlantic race with boats that are not the latest generation,”<\/em>\u00a0observes Matthieu Souben, winner on Luke Berry’s boat in 2021 (with S\u00e9bastien Rogues).<\/p>\n

How did\u00a0Viabilis Oc\u00e9ans<\/em>, which was trailing the leader by up to 200 miles at the start of the race following its pit stop in L’Aber Wrac’h (torn mainsail), manage to win? By benefiting from the fleet tightening around the Canaries, and then, according to Pierre-Marie Bourguinat,\u00a0“by showing\u00a0great speed qualities when the trade wind started to pick up<\/strong>; it was the one that best held the infernal pace of\u00a0<\/em>Edenred.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I think the fact of coming back into the pack, in terms of morale and tenacity, gave them a slight edge,”<\/em>\u00a0observes Matthieu Souben, who adds, regarding the final sprint, which saw\u00a0Viabilis<\/em>\u00a0favor a more southerly route than its rivals:\u00a0“My feeling is that there was\u00a0always a gain for the one who was a little further south<\/strong>. In the end, they made a small final adjustment; I think they won on that, it allowed them to push ahead, they were incisive right to the end.”<\/em>\u00a0This victory rewards two discreet men, Baptiste Hulin and Thomas Rouxel, about whom Pierre-Marie Bourguinat says:\u00a0“Baptiste is unknown to the general public, but he is starting to have solid offshore experience, as for Thomas, he is a very talented sailor, an excellent helmsman, who, coming from Ultim racing<\/em>\u00a0(he sailed several seasons on\u00a0Sodebo Ultim 3<\/em>)\u00a0is used to these high-speed transatlantic races.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Victory was very close for\u00a0Wewise<\/em>, which favorably impressed Dominic Vittet<\/strong>:\u00a0“Pierre and Gaston used all their Figaro sailing know-how in the English Channel; it was magnificent. I think they made a blunder by sailing in the wind shadow of Lanzarote and between the Cape Verde islands, but for people who haven’t done that many transatlantic races, they showed exemplary maturity by taking the lead at one point.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Imoca:\u00a0Charal<\/em>\u00a0the strongest<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

Fourteen years after winning alongside Jean-Pierre Dick, J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Beyou returns to victory in the double-handed transatlantic race, winning on\u00a0an Imoca that impressed our experts<\/strong>.\u00a0“They found something. Previously,\u00a0<\/em>Charal\u00a0did not have this ease downwind in 20 knots; it is rare to be so radical in progress,”<\/em>\u00a0notes Yves Le Blevec. For Pierre-Marie Bourguinat, the Manuard design\u00a0“has clearly gone up a gear; before, it was an intermediate boat, slower than\u00a0<\/em>Macif\u00a0upwind in light airs and slower than the KFC<\/em>\u00a0(Koch Finot-Conq)\u00a0in a downwind breeze; here,\u00a0it found a compromise that was more effective than everyone else<\/strong>, by sailing lower faster.”<\/em>Asked about this little extra something in\u00a0last Tuesday’s Pos. Report<\/a>, Nicolas Andrieu, technical director of BeYou Racing, replied:\u00a0“It’s a combination of small things, knowing that\u00a0everything we did this year in development was oriented towards this transatlantic race<\/strong>. Given the obligatory passage at the Canaries, we knew there would be a strong downwind component in medium wind, we worked for those conditions.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“The little something extra might be Morgan,<\/strong>“<\/em>\u00a0smiles Matthieu Souben about a sailor who wins the transatlantic race for the third time in a row in Imoca (the previous two with Thomas Ruyant). Erwan Tabarly agrees:\u00a0“He is\u00a0the person, along with Franck Cammas, you need to bring on board to win<\/strong>. It is an obsession for him to go faster than the boat next to him, and he steers superbly. In double-handed races, it really brings something to have a guy capable of making the boat go fast by spending hours at the helm.”<\/em>\u00a0And Erwan Tabarly adds, regarding J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Beyou:\u00a0“He has been chasing a major victory for a long time<\/strong>; he came close several times. This one will do him good, especially since it was clean and neat.”<\/em><\/p>\n

While\u00a0Charal<\/em>\u00a0was expected on the podium,\u00a0the surprise comes from the second place<\/strong>\u00a0of Francesca Clapcich, the first woman to make it onto the Imoca podium since Ellen MacArthur in 2005, and Will Harris.\u00a0“When they passed the ridge at the Canaries, I told myself they had pulled off a nice move, but\u00a0I expected them to be caught up on the crossing, and in fact, not at all<\/strong>. Apart from\u00a0<\/em>Charal, they managed to hold their own, especially against\u00a0<\/em>Macif\u00a0which is still a benchmark,”<\/em>\u00a0admires Erwan Tabarly. Who adds:\u00a0“Will knows the boat by heart, he has done all the sailing for the last two or three years, and\u00a0the duo with Francesca seems to have worked well<\/strong>.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Class40: north\/south battle<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

While we know the winners for three of the four classes competing in the Transat Caf\u00e9 L\u2019Or,\u00a0the suspense should last another good week for the Class40s<\/strong>. Having restarted last Saturday from La Coru\u00f1a after a first leg won by\u00a0SNSM Faites un don<\/em>\u00a0(Corentin Douguet\/Axel Tr\u00e9hin), the 40-footers split into two groups,\u00a0“two rooms, two atmospheres<\/strong>,”<\/em>\u00a0smiles Yves Le Blevec.\u00a0“It’s the real strategic choice of the transatlantic race,”<\/em>\u00a0observes Dominic Vittet,\u00a0“with on one side a pack that positioned itself very quickly to stay on the orthodromy<\/em>\u00a0(the direct route)\u00a0and face the storm to pass close to the Azores, before going to seek the north-westerly shift behind. On the other, the largest part of the fleet considered this route more complicated, because it involves upwind sailing and bad weather, so\u00a0they preferred to go seek the downwind sailing to the south, but lengthening the route<\/strong>.”<\/em>The northern group is led by\u00a0SNSM Faites un don<\/em>, the southern group by the second and third place finishers in La Coru\u00f1a,\u00a0Seafrigo-Sogestran<\/em>\u00a0(Guillaume Pirouelle\/C\u00e9dric Chateau) and\u00a0Amarris<\/em>\u00a0(Achille Nebout\/Gildas Mah\u00e9), which makes this strategic battle all the more interesting. Which camp might it favor?\u00a0“For the moment, we don’t know and it could last a while,<\/strong>“<\/em>\u00a0replies Dominic Vittet.\u00a0“The question is when those in the north will be able to cross south. Will the anticyclonic bubble shift eastward and allow them to find a loophole to take advantage of the western edge of the high pressure and plunge down? That is the uncertainty.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
