Day 8 - Complicated night for Erwan Israel and the team because of a very soft wind. 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. The French-Swiss team decided to use the same 40 m trimaran because they believed that the boat could be further optimised, a task that sailors, engineers and technicians at the team have been working on ever since. After countless hours of work at the boatyard and 40,000 nautical miles of racing and training, the Spindrift racing-prepared trimaran is all set to go. The team will officially go on stand-by on October 19th and wait for the ideal weather window.

The IDEC SPORT trimaran is pointing her bows towards the Cape of Hope. They can fell the have found something goog, the right low-pressure area. Meanwhile, in our hemisphere , the kids are dreaming of the open seas. THE JULES VERNE TROPHY, A LEGENDARY RECORD Around the world in eight days was published by Jules Verne in 1873 and inspired sailors to create one of the greatest ocean adventures of modern times, the Jules Verne Trophy. Since the first attempts in the winter of 1993, the crewed round the world record has attracted a lot of interest. Far from being over, it already has a rich history. By taking part in his first crewed record attempt, Francis Joyon could well write a new chapter in this saga… After a fantastic race, Peyron won the tenth edition of the Route du Rhum with a time of 7 days, 15 hours 8 minutes and 32 seconds – a new race record! Now in the colours of IDEC SPORT with Francis Joyon at the helm, the maxi trimaran has not yet finished harvesting successes… Francis Joyon Francis Joyon back, but this time with a crew by tackling the legendary Jules Verne Trophy, the crewed round the world voyage, at the helm of a maxi trimaran (ex Groupama 3 then Banque Populaire VII). The time to beat is 45 days 13 hours 42 minutes and 53 seconds set in 2012 by Loïck Peyron and his crew on Banque Populaire V. If he manages to do better, Francis Joyon will become the first man to hold the two finest world records sailing solo and with a crew. The bar is high up, but certainly not above the capability of a sailor like Francis Joyon. He wants to become the first sailor to hold the two most prestigious round the world records, sailing solo and with a crew (the Jules Verne Trophy): Francis Joyon’s latest challenge is certainly a fascinating one. It is what you might expect from a sailor, who although very discreet when ashore, is tough and determined at sea, and over the years has built up an exceptional list of successes. The crew IDEC : There are five members in Francis’s small team Bernard Stamm: A round the world specialist Gwénolé Gahinet: Success at an early age… Alex Pella: The Spanish Swiss army knife Boris Herrmann: The German pioneer Clément Surtel: An expert in giant trimarans Roland Jourdain: A classy substitute More infos here: https://lc.cx/4JRx __________________________________________________________________ SailingNews TV is the N°1 yachting and sailing channel.

Sprindrift is ready to go ... the departure of Sprindrift! Sprindrift works 3 years on Jules Verne Trophy so the crew is happy to be here. It is the adventure, said Sonna, but also a certain kind of freedom. 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.

Running aground is not fun. But, it happens to EVERYONE. So, when it happens to you, be ready to react quickly and get back in the race as soon as possible. Maybe no one will notice. Or, if you were in Jazz Cup, 2015, Pressure Drop will take some awesome photos so that we can all remember that glorious day, forever. On the internet. Names and faces have NOT been changed to protect the "innocent". Happy Holidays, and go double check your depth sounders!

Fare lo scafo nuovo spendendo poco, questo, in breve, è lo scopo del wrapping. Il Wrap, in questo caso, prodotto dalla Mactaac, è una pellicola di materiale plastico con la quale si copre lo scafo, una volta finita la posa in opera, non è facile distinguere tra wrap e gelcoat. Il vantaggio di questa tecnolgia è il costo, molto più basso di una riverniciatura a gelcoat, la velocità della messa in opera e la grande scelta di colori e effetti. - http://goo.gl/RjozOI http://www.solovela.net Informazioni: Per non perdere gli articoli, la rivista digitale di SVN Solovelanet e i nuovi video, iscriviti alla newsletter del giornale: https://bit.ly/2SXR16M SVN è anche SVN Global in inglese, per iscriverti al giornale in lingua inglese clicca qui. http://www3.solovela.net/newsletter_en
