wildbirdtoo 67 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 .. starts this weekend. I couldn't find a dedicated thread (other than under the general IMOCA thread where Huey has been posting some pics of starters) so I've started one. It will be interesting to see how everyone fares after the winter refits or in boats new to them.... 24 IMOCAs on the start list... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wildbirdtoo 67 Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 It looks at the moment like "to he that hath shall be given".. the three front runners caught earlier wind, and a quite a spread in the fleet so quickly.. I haven't looked at the forecast, but it must be dispiriting for those who didn't get a good start/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Banque Pop' hired it from Tanguy Le Turquais (who bought the boat for the VG2024 but has no sponsor to be able to race in 2022) so Clarisse - his wife - could race in 2022 and build qualification miles whilst she is waiting to get Apivia 1 after Apivia 2 will be launched in 2023. This will then become the new Banque Pop' IMOCA for the VG2024. Clarisse being pregnant, Banque Pop' hired Lunven to race the Guyader and Vendée Arctic races. Suprisingly, they haven't said anything about him doing the Route du Rhum on that boat, as Clarisse will defo not race as she is due around then. Maybe that's because he is also involved with Armel on the Banque Pop' Ultim - coaching, performance analysis and weather/routing. Guess we'll know more in a few months. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NZK 584 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Just caught up with the tracker this morning; Positions 1 to 4 no real surprise (Apivia, Charal, LinkdOut and Bureau Valle) Lunven in 5th on Banque Pop is a solid effort so far but it seems like he's being slowly rolled by the foilers around him Conrad in 10th on his 'return' is pretty awesome and he's in a pack that could see him climb more places Alan Roura in 14th is disappointing - I was hoping he'd get that boat really lit up but maybe he's being conservative on his first competitive outing? Especially considering Benjamin Dutreaux in the previous Boss is lying 6th 16th for Pip right now Nicolas Troussel and Corum look to be heading home for another early shower 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Schakel 259 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Apivia, Charlie Dalin, convincingly on top. It's his 38 th birthday today. Bussines before pleasure, could imagine anotherway to spend your birthday. On the other hand; I think a lot of anarchist would want to be in his position at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(autotranslated) FLASH / Technical problem on board the LinkedOut sailboat Thomas Ruyant, engaged in the Guyader Bermuda 1000 Race, experienced a break in the steering system of his LinkedOut sailboat last night. He then put his sailboat on the cape while waiting for the wind to drop and then regained control of his boat by steering manually. The Dunkirk navigator is doing well. He is heading for the coast trying to solve his technical problem.

The bold section is just poor word for word automatic translation. As you most likely figured out, what they meant is that he had to heave to. In French: Mettre à la cape = In English: to heave to. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sailbydate 3,605 Posted Thursday at 03:46 AM Share Posted Thursday at 03:46 AM Standout performance from, Charlie aboard APIVIA again. Pretty impressed with Nicolas Lunven aboard Banque Populaire (the front-running non-foiler). And can you 'Imagine' Conrad Colman (hopefully, the comeback kid for VG 2024) in the top 10 at the moment. Awesome job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terrafirma 1,339 Posted Thursday at 04:00 AM Share Posted Thursday at 04:00 AM Charlie should be made to start 2 days after the rest of the fleet for the Vendee Globe if that goes ahead? He is in his own class boat and sailing ability IMO. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can only imagine the change-up for that team from their old boat into this current weapon is huge. I'm also assuming that the performance windows for the top tier boats are incredibly narrow - to get sail, foil and steering trim all aligned to hit the polars must be very specific and probably with big performance drops for only small 'errors'. I'm curious as to how much 'IP' you get from the old team when you buy a used IMOCA? Do they give you ALL the data or just a basic set of polars and the 'how to turn the engine on' style playbook? Or this part of the price negotiation? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
