Jules Verne Trophy: Spindrift 2 Sailing Past Cape Horn (drone video)

Jules Verne Trophy: Spindrift 2 passes Cape Horn (drone footages) Published 22 Dec 2015

Spindrift 2 Day 31 | Jules Verne: "14:50 GMT YANN GUICHARD, AFTER CAPE HORN - My favourite memory will be of passing Cape Horn in the sun, with 15 knots of wind and a flat sea: we had time to enjoy it because we skirted the coast...Honestly, it was just fantastic. Dona spoke with the lighthouse keeper, it was really a nice moment: everyone was awake and on deck. This marks one month of adventure that is going well." My goal since leaving Ushant was to arrive at Cape Horn within the time of Banque Populaire V: that's done, now it's the weather that will decide. But we’ve already had an excellent voyage; I’m delighted with my crew and the atmosphere on board, it's really great. It’s a once in a lifetime experience to see the rock at the end of the world after 30 days of shared enjoyment at sea. We were surrounded by birds all the way across the Indian and Pacific Oceans. We saw albatrosses but not the big swell. Other than that, I have continuous stress about looking after things, because I know that if we finish, we will be in record time. It is really the management of men and the machine that preoccupies me every day; it’s tiring, sometimes I’m almost worn out, but it’s also enjoyable. "It's going be really tight all the way to the end "..." (read more at link above)



IDEC SPORT SAILING | IDEC SPORT AT THE HORN THIS EVENING: "IDEC SPORT AT CAPE HORN THIS EVENING 22 December 2015 The progress of the six sailors on IDEC SPORT towards Cape Horn slowed during the night as they passed through a small area of low pressure. But the wind got up again around lunchtime today, so Francis Joyon and his men should be within the time set by Banque Populaire V, which means rounding the Horn before 0020hrs UTC tonight...."

Published on November 21, 2015 Claude Breton. A fan. A crazy wind and ocean, a lover of all that the sea, flying, surfing, then flits and flies. He talks about WSSRC used in ... Let that one says: The WSSRC is the body responsible for formalizing world speed records on the water. Claude Breton is its president. It was he who holds the official chronometers Jules Verne Trophy.

Jules Verne Trophy - "The Jules Verne Trophy is a prize for the fastest circumnavigation of the world by any type of yacht with no restrictions on the size of the crew provided the vessel has registered with the organization and paid an entry fee. A vessel holding the Jules Verne trophy will not necessarily hold the absolute round the world record. The trophy was first awarded to the first yacht which sailed around the world in less than 80 days. The name of the award is a reference to the Jules Verne novel Around the World in Eighty Days in which Phileas Fogg traverses the planet (albeit by railroad and steamboat) in 80 days. The current holder is Banque Populaire V skippered by Loick Peyron in 45 days 13 hours 42 minutes 53 seconds." (Wikipedia)

Route

• The Jules Verne Trophy's starting point is defined by an imaginary line between the Créac'h lighthouse on Ouessant (Ushant) Island, France, and the Lizard Lighthouse, UK. 
• Circumnavigate the world leaving the capes of Good Hope, Leeuwin, and Horn to port. Cross the starting line in the opposite direction.
• The starting line is open as of the official ratification of the trophy's rules by the World Sailing Speed Record Council.

Rules

• Propulsion of the boat must solely be by natural forces of the wind and of the crew.
• The Jules Verne trophy is open to any type of boat with no restrictions.
• Crew size is not restricted.
• The circumnavigation must be completed non-stop and with no physical outside assistance.
• Challengers must respect safety rules.

Spindrift 2’s team for Jules Verne Trophy announced | Spindrift racing: "To undertake the crewed around-the-world record is as much about the human adventure as it is a technical and sporting challenge. The men and women working alongside Dona Bertarelli and Yann Guichard at Spindrift racing have been preparing this race against the clock for almost three years. The target: to sail around the world in less than 45 days, 13 hours and 42 minutes. The tough record they will try to beat was set by Loïck Peyron and his crew in 2012 on Banque Populaire V, which was renamed Spindrift 2 a year later."

Route du Rhum of Yann Guichard, Spindrift Racing, Sailing videos

The Route du Rhum of Yann Guichard - Spindrift racing | Official website | Maxi-trimaran, GC32, D35, Diam24 & MOD70 – Yann Guichard: "Hailing from Ile aux Moines, Brittany, in France, Yann Guichard is one of the most talented sailors of his generation. Aged only 40, he already has a solid experience in sailing and more particularly on multihulls. Trained for top-level Olympic sailing, synonymous with discipline, rigor and organization, he gave concrete expression to his aspirations thanks to his determination. His passion for multihulls led him to undertake several large-scale sailing projects. Talented and versatile, he has collected records and victories on various circuits, in oceanic as well as in inshore races (e.g. Route du Rhum, Transat Jacques Vabre, Extreme Sailing Series, America’s Cup World Series, Vulcain Trophy)..."

Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe: " Since its first edition, the magic of this transatlantic race operates from its base at Saint-Malo, France. Every four years, the corsair city opens wide the doors, and launches the public imagination and a wonderful invitation: to escape and wonder at the absolute dream solitary navigators ... to compete face to face with the ocean of rare intensity ... Notice windy freedom! As desired sound designer Michel Etevenon, the Route du Rhum has always been great emphasis on diversity. Since 1978, it brings together, on the same starting line and the same route, monohulls and multihulls, small ocean and giant sea horses. This new kind of transatlantic opens the paths of the Atlantic sailing yachts of all kinds, she reveals the fierce vitality of racing..."


Spindrift racing ready to fly on Bullitt GC32 Racing Tour - published on May 26, 2015

The future of sailing is, quite literally, flying. The catamarans that soared above the waves in the 2013 America’s Cup in San Francisco have taken the sailing world by storm. The boats have revolutionised sailing technology and competition, giving rise to the creation of new classes.

The GC32 is one such class, a 10m one-design catamaran which can “take off” in wind speeds of just 8 knots. The carbon-fibre dragonfly has already established its place in regattas around the world, both in costal venues and on some of Europe’s most beautiful lakes. Multihull experts Dona Bertarelli and Yann Guichard and their Spindrift racing team are passionate about innovation and elite international competition, and have decided to join the GC32 Racing Tour 2015.
