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.

Crossing the ocean at a speed of over 17 knots for the multihulls and nearly 12 knots for the monohulls is enough to test the sturdiness of the strongest teams. Altogether 35 boats will start the race, 13 in Thiercelin’s 60-foot (18.28m) monohull-category. "Back in 2003 we started to discuss with Marc Thiercelin how new technologies could help him and improve his boat," says Pierre Brisson, head of ESA’s Technology Transfer Programme (TTP). "Weight reduction and an efficient electricity system were soon identified as areas where proven technologies from space could provide interesting solutions." A lighter type of battery was identified, based on a model originally developed for satellites in the Space technology will boost the performance of at 1990’s.

This famed Canadian schooner inspired people from across the nation, both directly through its success and indirectly through the many songs and homages to its achievements. While the days of wooden ships and iron men have passed, the need for inspiring Canadian figures remains. The Vendée Globe represents a race where such historic personalities are made.
