  • 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.

  • From Planetary Dynamics to Global Trade and Human Genetics: a Big History Narrative
    Chapter 3 From Planetary Dynamics to Global Trade and Human Genetics: A Big History Narrative Lewis R. Dartnell Abstract Big History is an academic enterprise engaged in combining many different fields within the sciences and humanities to provide a more complete, long time-frame perspective on human history. Such an interdisciplinary approach is particularly useful within education for providing teachers and students an inter- disciplinary understanding of the causative processes behind major themes and trends of history. Presented here is a Big History narrative that explores the chains of cause and effect between intrinsic features of planet Earth and the course of global history from the early modern period. It traces the deep connections from the circulation dynamics of the Earth’s atmosphere, to the trans-oceanic trade routes established during the Age of Exploration, and the pattern of European colonisation and empire-building in these earliest stages of globalisation that built our modern way of life, and finally to the genetic diversity of populations of people living across the Americas today. Along the way, it will also illustrate the links to seemingly- unrelated topics, such as why many industrial cities developed with an affluent, fashionable west-side contrasting against working-class slums in the East End, and why the Mason-Dixon line separating the Union and Confederate states in the American Civil War and the Great Wall of China both fundamentally follow ecological boundaries. 1 Introduction Big History (Christian 1991), like astrobiology, is an inherently deeply interdisci- plinary field of enquiry. It combines, for example, aspects of astrophysics, planetary sciences, geology, geography, evolutionary biology and anthropology to explore the L.

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.

Métropole d’un bassin de vie de près de pêche 400 000 habitants, elle occupe une position stratégique pour la mer et le littoral. et plaisance En partance de Brest, les explorateurs du XVIIIe sont allés à la rencontre du monde et de sa diversité, rapportant avec eux de précieux échantillons de la faune et de la flore et une connaissance accrue d’autres cultures, d’autres continents. C’est de Brest encore que les grands navigateurs d’aujourd’hui s’élancent à l’aventure des océans à bord de bateaux ultramodernes dont les matériaux et les technologies de pointe y ont été développés par des entreprises de référence mondiale. Premier port français pour l’entretien de la flotte militaire, Brest prend appui de longue date sur un secteur industriel maritime fort. Brest s’est toujours soucié de la mer : l’explorer, en développer la connaissance, la rendre plus sûre à la navigation, en exploiter durablement les richesses, préserver sa diversité. Cette vocation maritime a forgé son identité et formé une culture commune. Elle a été préservée et adaptée plaçant aujourd’hui Brest au cœur de l’expertise maritime internationale.
