A surprise, given that the 31-year-old sailor had until now primarily made her mark in offshore racing, and an opportunity for\u00a0<\/em>Sailorz<em>\u00a0to talk with her.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you tell us how you find yourself involved in this America&#8217;s Cup project today?<\/strong><br \/>\nLike you, I&#8217;m still a bit surprised! A month after my return from the Globe 40\u00a0<em>[she competed in two legs with Ian Lipinski<\/em><em>, Editor&#8217;s note]<\/em>, I was at home assembling furniture and doing some renovations, thinking I was going to have a fairly quiet year, when\u00a0<strong>I received a call from Bruno Dubois<\/strong>\u00a0<em>(co-director of the challenge)<\/em>. He told me that for the next Cup, there will no longer be cyclists, but a fifth spot on board for a woman, and\u00a0<strong>he asked me if I was interested<\/strong>. At first, I was quite surprised; I wondered\u00a0<strong>why me?<\/strong>\u00a0Since it&#8217;s a completely unknown world to me, I had trouble understanding why they would come\u00a0looking for a profile like mine for that job, whereas in France, we usually\u00a0tend to select Olympic backgrounds for the Cup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And did you get an answer?<\/strong><br \/>\nDuring the discussion, Bruno explained to me that it was going to be a job that would require spending a lot of time on computers, data, and the simulator, because it\u2019s likely that the fifth position, even if it\u2019s not yet truly defined, will be quite focused on those subjects, in addition to many other small adjustments on board. And he told me that since I already fly on 32-meter boats,\u00a0<strong>I should normally love flying on an AC75<\/strong>. Gradually, as I went through all the topics, I understood that I would be able to apply the skills I acquired in offshore racing to the world of the Cup, particularly regarding flying trimarans. As a result,\u00a0<strong>it piqued my curiosity<\/strong>. After that, I had to go through\u00a0<strong>the Women\u2019s America\u2019s Cup selection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did that go?<\/strong><br \/>\nThere were several parts, with\u00a0<strong>AC40 simulator sessions<\/strong>\u00a0on one side; it wasn&#8217;t necessarily a matter of performance, but more to see how easily we could get the hang of it and how we functioned within the group. And\u00a0<strong>a motivation interview<\/strong>\u00a0with Philippe Presti\u00a0<em>(sports director)<\/em>\u00a0and Philippe Mourniac\u00a0<em>(coach)<\/em>, which was a key moment to understand my vision, my way of working, and what I was looking for in this project. They asked me if I was aware of what I was going to lose, the unknown I was committing to, and the mountain I had to climb. We also talked about the ability to work in a team and be at the service of a project. In the end, everything went quite quickly because the selection took place at the end of last week,\u00a0<strong>we reached an agreement on Monday for an announcement on Tuesday<\/strong>. For now, it\u2019s just me on the AC75, but quite soon, I will be joined by another woman from among the nine who will be selected in this Women\u2019s America\u2019s Cup process, so that we can share this role.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>&#8220;<strong>This project will require<br \/>\na total commitment from me&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>You are indeed leaving\u00a0an offshore world\u00a0in which you were thriving, for the unknown one of very high-speed inshore racing; did you nevertheless hesitate before accepting?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s clear that I had to weigh things up. On one hand, I told myself it was a crazy opportunity,\u00a0<strong>something you barely dare to dream of in a lifetime<\/strong>, and on the other, there was the disappointment of telling myself that\u00a0<strong>I was going to have to give up offshore projects<\/strong>\u00a0that were close to my heart, with people I really enjoyed working with. So it wasn&#8217;t easy. At one point, I tried to imagine combining both, but\u00a0I quickly realized that it wasn&#8217;t going to be possible. I&#8217;m arriving in a completely new universe, so for the first few months, I really need to be fully focused to soak it all in, and then things will move quite fast until the Cup.\u00a0<strong>This project will require a total commitment from me<\/strong>; it will also surely help me improve my skills to come back stronger in offshore racing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which projects did you have to give up?<\/strong><br \/>\nI won&#8217;t give\u00a0names, because I feel sorry to have let them down,\u00a0but I had planned sailing\u00a0<strong>in Ultim<\/strong>, I was also supposed to do the Normandy Channel Race and the Round Ireland\u00a0<strong>in Class 40<\/strong>, and then there is, of course, the dual\u00a0<strong>The Ocean Race\/Vend\u00e9e Globe project with Paul Meilhat<\/strong>. The project is continuing, and Paul is working hard right now to find partners, but by committing to K-Challenge, I know I won&#8217;t be able to be on board for The Ocean Race. However,\u00a0<strong>nothing prevents me from following up with the Vend\u00e9e Globe<\/strong>\u00a0afterwards; that is certainly the goal.\u00a0The ideal scenario would be for me to rejoin the project in July 2027 after the Cup.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong>&#8220;I have a good flow!&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>What does the Cup inspire in you? Is it a world that interested you until now?<\/strong><br \/>\nI wasn&#8217;t following it 200%, but I watched all the regattas and I had been particularly interested in the Women\u2019s project during the last edition. However, I didn&#8217;t feel like I was part of it at all. While in offshore racing, I had allowed myself for a few years to dream of the biggest possible challenges, but here,\u00a0<strong>I never would have imagined that I would find myself embarked on this adventure!<\/strong>\u00a0Now, starting to talk with the team, I see many parallels:\u00a0in both cases, it\u2019s high-level sport and therefore very demanding, with processes and ways of thinking that overlap.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You are joining a team that is now well-funded and structured; what are your ambitions?<\/strong><br \/>\nDuring the last edition, we saw clearly that they lacked time; the team had launched late. Here, I felt that I was arriving\u00a0<strong>in a solid and indeed well-structured universe<\/strong>, with a good boat, a well-staffed team, and great talent in every department. Consequently, victory isn&#8217;t necessarily the stated goal, but in any case, I feel that\u00a0<strong>we are equipped to perform<\/strong>\u00a0and that this time, we are starting on schedule. We are at work every day with the means and the timing to succeed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In a few years, you&#8217;ve done Mini, Class40, Imoca, Ultim, and now AC75; how do you look back on this journey?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>I often find myself wondering why I am here!<\/strong>\u00a0Because there are many people who work hard and deserve it just as much, but don&#8217;t have the luck to have a journey like this. Now, I think I work a lot, that I have a fairly human side, which means that when I move from one team to another, it goes well, and with a bit of success,\u00a0<strong>I have a good flow!<\/strong>\u00a0It reminds me a bit of The Ocean Race Europe with\u00a0<em>Biotherm<\/em>, that kind of period where everything follows on, where everything seems easy, you fly from victory to victory, from a great project to an other great project. You never know what life has in store for us; I know everything can stop overnight, so\u00a0<strong>in the meantime, I&#8217;m loving it!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Image : Martin Keruzor\u00e9\/La Roche-Posay Racing Team<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>K-Challenge\u00a0revealed\u00a0on Tuesday in Lorient the new title partner of the French challenge for the America&#8217;s Cup,\u00a0La Roche Posay, as well as part of the technical and sailing team, which includes\u00a0Am\u00e9lie Grassi.
