The Greatest Double-Handed Ocean Challenge 55 The greatest double-handed ocean challenge Barcelona World Race 2014/2015The greatest double-handed ocean challenge 55 Two crew members, 24,000 nautical miles, non-stop, without assistance and in extreme conditions “Participating in the Barcelona World Race is a privilege, an adventure and an enormous challenge. A great lesson for life.” Jean-Pierre Dick A GREAT CHALLENGE wo crew members, one boat and 24,000 nautical miles across Tthe world’s three great oceans. On 31 December in Barcelona the greatest double-handed sailing challenge will begin: the non- stop, around the world race without external assistance. Sailing over 24,000 nautical miles is in itself a challenge. Double- handed, the challenge becomes even greater. On board a boat 18 metres long, there is no escape. You share happy moments, but also have to endure stressful times together. You have to learn to manage your emotions and deal not only with your ups and downs but also those of the other crew member. You have to do this in an environment where there is no room for home comforts. On board an IMOCA 60, sailors have to be completely self-sufficient. They have only freeze-dried food, a bunk bed to sleep on, and a few changes of clothes for a three-month, non-stop sailing trip. They are totally dependent on themselves and their vessel, on a journey that takes them to the most inhospitable reaches of the Earth. Moreover, they have to deal with the harshest conditions nature can throw at them. From the notorious equatorial doldrums and the suffocating heat of the tropics, to the intense cold and dangers of the icy regions. In the Great South, you come across one squall after another, terrifying rogue waves pose a constant threat to boats and crews, and the damp seeps right through to your bones. These exhausting conditions mean that your body and mind never have time to rest. The Barcelona World Race is one of the greatest tests of physical and psychological endurance in the world. If that were not enough, this is a race, a competition in which everyone is out to win. They push their boats to the very limit, trying to go as fast as possible at all times. The IMOCA 60 is a high-tech racing yacht, designed to sail at top speed. And being a double- handed challenge, the pace is more intense than ever. Three months of non-stop extreme sailing. Yvan Zedda This is why taking part in the Barcelona World Race, part of the © IMOCA Ocean Masters World Championship, is a unique sporting, human and technological achievement. Two crew members, non- stop, pushing all the boundaries under extreme conditions. This is what is so appealing about the Barcelona World Race and why it attracts the best sailors in the world, race specialists used to sailing solo or with a crew.

Each IMOCA 60 is customised to meet the requirements Tof a specific project. From architecture to engineering, and not forgetting the design of the cockpit or the interior, each yacht is different, although all comply with the essential IMOCA class rules, the maximum measurements being: 60 feet (18.29 metres) length, 4.5 metres draught and a maximum mast height of 29 metres above the waterline. With these parameters, and complying with stability regulations, each designer is free to create the boat in accordance with the crew members’ beliefs about the optimum combination of power, speed, ergonomics and reliability. The objective of the design is to achieve the best compromise between maximum speed, stability and safety. And that’s why the technology is essential: the boat is constructed from the lightest and toughest materials possible such as carbon fibre and Kevlar. However, not all crews are lucky enough to have a new boat for each regatta. Chart table An IMOCA 60 has a long life and quite a few of the teams will be competing in the Barcelona World Race in veteran boats, which have already sailed around the with bunk seat globe a few times. However, they will have been checked over thoroughly from masthead to keel, modified, adapted and fitted out with the latest technology in order to ensure they achieve the goals they were designed for: to get the sailors home safely after racing around the world. Pedestal winch PRESENTING THE IMOCA 60 WATERTIGHT BULKHEADS: prevent the boat from sinking. This watertight crash box, filled with high-density PVC is located in the bow of the yacht and can act as a bumper, absorbing any impact in the event of a collision with a floating object. BALLAST TANKS: can be filled with up to five tonnes of water, and move when tacking or in accordance with requirements. They act as mobile ballast. CANTING KEEL: its maximum canting angle is 40º on either side of the boat, using a hydraulic piston that moves the 3.5-tonne keel bulb.

They are allowed a maximum of three technical stops, and each must last a minimum of 24 hours for repairs or medical emergencies when it is essential in order to enable the crew to complete the course safely. The winners of the first edition of the race (2007/08), Jean-Pierre Dick and Damian Foxall, on board the Paprec Virbac 2, needed 92 days, 9 hours, 49 minutes and 49 seconds, at an average speed of 11.13 knots, to complete the course.

  • Jolie Brise a Teignmouth Story
    THE JOLIE BRISE A TEIGNMOUTH STORY By Clare McComb J12433_JolieBrise_Story_DL_V10.indd 1 15/10/2015 09:22 Putting this little book together has been a pleasure because of the exciting way in which the project has unfolded and the warmth and generosity of those, in Teignmouth and beyond, who have helped to make it happen. My thanks go, first, to J D Wetherspoon for its policy of researching local history and, in particular, to Tim Martin for his sponsorship. I am indebted to Lin Watson and the Teign Heritage Museum team for their wonderful, comprehensive advice and technical assistance, as well as to Viv Wilson MBE for allowing me to use her splendidly researched material. My gratitude also goes to Sidney Briggs’ relations who could not have done more to help, searching their attics and storage boxes to reveal documents and artefacts which had been unknown beforehand outside of the family circle. Toby Marris, skipper of Jolie Brise, and Sue Stone, from Dauntsey’s School, have (as always) been constantly generous with their time, support and permission to use their beautiful images of the boat. I am grateful to Jacques Taglang, Dauntsey’s School and Rick Tomlinson, Syd Hook’s daughters Jill and Sandra, the Mystic Seaport Museum USA (Rosenfeld Collection) and the Warneford, Martin and Morgan Giles families for allowing use of their photographs in the book. My thanks go, lastly, to Jolie Brise herself. Since her launch in 1913, she has always been thought of as special and is now one of the great iconic classic boats. Her exploits helped to jump-start the sport of British Ocean Racing, and her achievement in winning the Fastnet Race three times has not yet been equalled.

An extraordinary programme ! Today, it is with great joy that I announce this partnership with Mirabaud, giving the go-ahead to operations that will enable me to be at the starting line with Michèle in Barcelona on 31 December 2010, under the best condi- tions possible. One year later we will be in Le Havre, and finally, at the Sables d’Olonne in 2012 for the Vendée Globe. On the programme: one transatlantic, two round-the- world races, 200 days at sea and 90,000 nautical miles. Still, one might ask : why ? My answer is simple : after se- ven round-the-world races and over 360,000 nautical miles in my sailor’s log, my ambitions are intact and my thirst is as intense as ever ! Today, I embark on this three- year programme with enormous energy and enthusiasm. I am thrilled to be returning to sea on one of the Fabu- lous IMOCA Open 60 yachts and to complete a venture that I was forced to abandon in the southern seas during the last Vendée Globe.
