  • The World's Fastest Offshore Race Boat?
    The world's fastest offshore race boat? We take a look at Pascal Bidegorry's Banque Populaire maxi tri See the video of our sailing on board the Banque Populaire maxi here To get the full Banque Populaire experience listen to this sound file (of the boat going upwind, with her daggerboard playing the note 'F') On paper the new Banque Populaire Maxi is the world’s largest racing trimaran at 40m LOA, so big in fact that she could fit an ORMA 60 on to her foredeck (if she had one). Given that with maxis, both mono and multi, the longer and more powerful you get, so the breakage and nightmares increase exponentially, it appeared when we first heard about this new beast that skipper Pascal Bidegorry had turned megalomaniac and her crew would be spending as much time fixing the boat as sailing her. In fact after a day out on board, we can confirm that we only blew up one runner block and judging from the way the crew drive it – Bidegorry and helmsman Yvan Ravussin cranking what is probably the world’s fastest offshore race boat up to 22 knots upwind in around 16 knots true and flying the main hull (we got the full experience) – they are not as terrified of their new weapon as one might expect. In fact in theory the loads on the present Jules Verne Trophy record holder, Bruno Peyron’s Orange 2 should be larger as despite the two boats being similar length and Orange 2 having one less hull, her 35 tonne displacement is over 10 tonnes more than the new Banque Pop.

Prefazione di Sir Peter Blake al libro "Luna Rossa" sulla 30^ America's Cup (2000) La Coppa America è un trofeo molto ambito, ma che di rado ha cambiato mano in 150 anni. Questo non è uno sport per deboli di cuore. Non è impresa da prendere alla leggera o per capriccio. É una lotta tra velisti di Yacht Club sparsi nel mondo che vogliono disperatamente la stessa cosa: mettere le mani sulla Coppa. Il prestigio per il vincitore vale più di qualsiasi altro riconoscimento sportivo. É proprio vincere l’invincibile e fare l’impossibile che affascina uomini di mare, sognatori e miliardari. Ma la vittoria non arriva facilmente. Anzi, il più delle volte non arriva affatto. L’unico modo per vincere è continuare a partecipare, continuare a tornare, una volta dopo l’altra, con l’intimo convincimento di potercela fare. Esitare dopo il primo tentativo non fa parte delle regole del gioco. Ci vogliono persone straordinarie, con una motivazione ferrea, grande esperienza, attenzione per i particolari e dedizione incondizionata.

Photo from ABRW Facebook Page Meetings Cancelled until Further Notice 2 Monthly Events (Sept) 6 Sept Westerly Trophy 19th-20th Sept Bribie Cup & Coolaroo Trophy 19th-20th Sept Cruise to the Brisbane River 27th Sept SAGS Commodore’s Comment By Bruce Wieland Dear multihull sailors, I do hope that you have remained healthy during the lockdown no matter where in the world you are. I empathize with anyone who has caught the Covid-19 virus and wish you a full recovery. It has been a difficult time for many, both socially and financially. Lyn and I have been fortunate to make it through the lockdown (so far) without any adverse effects despite closing our business for two months. As for MYCQ, it was a difficult decision at the time to cancel the 2020 Brisbane to Gladstone Race, but in hindsight we would never have been allowed to run the race. One positive is that there are several new big multihulls on the scene in Australia, so the 2021 B2G may just be spectacular! Other than the B2G, the lockdown has had little effect on our program as we deliberately kept our calendar sparce during the winter. RQYS cancelled the Brisbane to Hamilton Island Race, but the Brisbane to Keppel Race did happen, although there were no multihulls entered. While Airlie Beach Race week has been run and won, Hammo and Magnetic Island Race weeks were also cancelled. Congratulations to Dale Mitchell and crew who won on OMR with the ORMA 60 (great to see it going well!), and Elizabeth Williams who won the Passage Series on Tyee 111.

  • Groupama Sailing Team Redefined Ambitions and Marked Support for Franck Cammas
    Group Communication Division PRESS RELEASE Paris, 7 December 2012 Groupama sailing team Redefined ambitions and marked support for Franck Cammas Since 1998, the Cammas – Groupama pairing has been writing one of the finest chapters on sailing of French sport, securing wins in all of the major races contested in single- handed and crewed configuration, from the Route du Rhum to the Volvo Ocean Race, via the Transat Jacques Vabre, the Transatlantic record as well as the Jules Verne Trophy. The Cammas – Groupama pairing is also synonymous with a shared ambition and loyalty, which has enabled each of them to feel supported, even in the tough times. In a difficult economic context since 2011, Groupama is refocusing on performance in the national market, which no longer justifies an international sponsorship strategy. As such French and European events will be the main sporting challenge reflected by Groupama’s involvement. However, this doesn’t mean that there will be any less support for its first- rate skipper in his desire to tackle a fresh challenge: the America’s Cup. A national focus for one, international development for the other: in these conditions its difficult to continue with a fifteen-year old history! And yet that’s exactly what Groupama and Franck Cammas intend to do over the next three years. Extracts from an exchange between the sailor and Sylvain Burel, Director of the Group’s Communication: What stays in your mind from the past fifteen years of this partnership? Franck Cammas : It’s obviously coloured by emotion. Beyond that though, to perform well, a sportsman and a sailor in particular needs to have the financial means to match his sporting ambitions, the necessary time to achieve them and, most importantly I think, trust in his partner or partners.
