La moitié du poids du voilier se trouve dans le lest qui bascule à l’extérieur de la coque au vent. Si le vent vient à monter, 8 mètres cube de ballast d’eau de mer viennent calmer le jeu, ce qui lui donne un moment de redressement qui n’était pas comparable à ses anciens concurrents. Sa faculté de partir au planning aux allures portantes lui confère une vitesse de pointe exceptionnelle. Premier sur la ligne en 2016 en établissant un nouveau record, il est le brillant second de l’année passée.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN0QthuYtExAEEBI-Nm_ARShQVHX7nMdOasHk6ssLTwTp0Hwz4e1kjY0ELz3GlaKkhPp7UQVOxRL36SA6xHNl5nCF-8kwqB8Dq988M2-i-31s5eKLDyAN50TkiZ2558i4cfuvF7Y2D3naWcQPRwB4KDofWYte0vJZOY7WJDVf3Ru8MOSCrZ9TKz2_Q4pY/s835/4-LawConnect%20Lines.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="587" data-original-width="835" height="451" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN0QthuYtExAEEBI-Nm_ARShQVHX7nMdOasHk6ssLTwTp0Hwz4e1kjY0ELz3GlaKkhPp7UQVOxRL36SA6xHNl5nCF-8kwqB8Dq988M2-i-31s5eKLDyAN50TkiZ2558i4cfuvF7Y2D3naWcQPRwB4KDofWYte0vJZOY7WJDVf3Ru8MOSCrZ9TKz2_Q4pY/w641-h451/4-LawConnect%20Lines.jpeg" width="641" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Maxi 100 pieds</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sloop</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Architecte : Juan Kouyoumdjian</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Chantier : Cookson Boat, Auckland (N-Z)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mise à l'eau : 17 avril 2008</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Longueur : 30,46 m</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Flottaison : 29,99 m</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bau : 7,35 m</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tirant d'eau : 6,22 m</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tirant d'air : 47 m</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bout-dehors : 5 m</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Déplacement : 30,6 t</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ballast : 8 t</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Surface de la GV : 375 m2</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Voilure au près : 660 m2</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Voilure au portant max : 1 340 m2</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Rating : 1,972</span></div><div><br /></div></div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: large;"><b>3/ SHK SCALLYWAG (ex-<i>Maximus, Investec Loyal, Ragamuffin Loyal, Ragamuffin 100</i>)</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt0rjrQC9WQYMZY4VH_k1LG_cctDCAyCuZq0zYp50SkwKaRAF4Mz-uSuueRG15PvKdysvh9wqJpgZgRlk0FdPf4I1C8VOeq95OSn2TE-MRLqjkxPdNT_11C9pZewDpR-milDug4v9-mvHLy_NgVRr6-dyLtsZwqgfBeXqhRUQiv6dl21k7csEffoX_OtI/s777/5-SHK%20Scallywag%202023.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="777" data-original-width="552" height="822" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt0rjrQC9WQYMZY4VH_k1LG_cctDCAyCuZq0zYp50SkwKaRAF4Mz-uSuueRG15PvKdysvh9wqJpgZgRlk0FdPf4I1C8VOeq95OSn2TE-MRLqjkxPdNT_11C9pZewDpR-milDug4v9-mvHLy_NgVRr6-dyLtsZwqgfBeXqhRUQiv6dl21k7csEffoX_OtI/w584-h822/5-SHK%20Scallywag%202023.png" width="584" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Le Maxi de Seng Huang Lee, <i>SHK Scallywag</i>, skippé par David Witt, peu créé la surprise.

font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since I first started redesigning the hulls of the Volvo yachts, I have observed that the evolution of the shapes has always evolved between two editions. With the implementation of a one design for the 2014-15 Volvo Ocean Race, we could expect real improvements, given the diversity and quality of the ideas of the three previous Volvo designers, and especially given the progress of development on the Mini-Transat and IMOCA boats. The choice of the Volvo 65 one-design designer, Bruce Farr, in the wake of <i>Groupama 4</i>’s victory, has not failed to surprise. Indeed, for 2011-12, the Farr yacht design firm only designed <i>Abu Dhabi</i>, which came fifth, behind three yachts from the Juan Kouyoumdjian office, which had already taken first place in the two editions of 2005-06 and 2008-09. </span></span><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;"></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-weight: 400;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhngyij9msWYO2bUbSwf2e-yr-_jUqjdeFjNiNlcFSEYnl4KcO_jgxEkrpGhbgbHc6pDD9T5dEW2jJTZsh8CRkuuqj8yUijK9N8E9J7EF5_Ligc_TuHQqnLBDxhiOuOOAEfsISdTOmrG5Gbp1-gLcW6WP8rWAerlfOgGxxona8a8rshr13Mb5uOgLdF/s780/1-Holcim%20-%20PRB%20TOR22*%20copie.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="780" data-original-width="521" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhngyij9msWYO2bUbSwf2e-yr-_jUqjdeFjNiNlcFSEYnl4KcO_jgxEkrpGhbgbHc6pDD9T5dEW2jJTZsh8CRkuuqj8yUijK9N8E9J7EF5_Ligc_TuHQqnLBDxhiOuOOAEfsISdTOmrG5Gbp1-gLcW6WP8rWAerlfOgGxxona8a8rshr13Mb5uOgLdF/s16000/1-Holcim%20-%20PRB%20TOR22*%20copie.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">HOLCIM</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-size: large;">As early as December 2014, I had drawn the lines of this new Volvo in an attempt to grasp what this yacht had in store. The first thing that struck me was the size of her bulb, only 3.5 tons, close to the weight of those of the IMOCA 60s, while the VO 70s were tending towards double. The 20 centimeters of extra draft aren’t insignificant, but they don’t compensate for the stiffness of a 7-ton keel. IMOCA racing yachts are very light boats designed for offshore racing, they have 5000 liters of ballast for the breeze and a small bulb for the light air. The second surprise came when I searched for what the firm had learned from their previous design, <i>Abu Dhabi</i>. The design of this boat was quite radical, with a very curved bow, a wide waterline and a low bilge. The 65 retains vertical sides and a maximum forward beam, but has a very open V-shape from the middle of the hull. </span></span></p></span><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since her shapes are typical of TP 52s, I checked out the sections of Marcelino Botin’s boat, <i>Camper</i>, which finished second in 2012. Marcelino is well known for his accomplishments in this class, and the capacity of his craft to plane close-hauled in medium winds is remarkable. With a maximum beam very far aft, when heeled, the boat is on a virtually flat bottom for half its length, leaning on her bilge, she planes wonderfully. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-weight: 400;"><b style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKZtufpEEaYPZ5HT8KTHQ7_20IRbT_6_IwWXtbXz3_Zh-5UoPeiGm7VrkPkY9uVwRGM6E1XjMCLiCZnPDv8VZS7fxyp8_35h9AwgssGsTCA2f-hqUBsQp1geOV4VKpmwWn9LGqbqEQWluJ4svjygRgLRFXyPnrUxHMNkaXSYresxO-M2dm3-B-GHDT/s1394/2-Volvo-65L.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="991" data-original-width="1394" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKZtufpEEaYPZ5HT8KTHQ7_20IRbT_6_IwWXtbXz3_Zh-5UoPeiGm7VrkPkY9uVwRGM6E1XjMCLiCZnPDv8VZS7fxyp8_35h9AwgssGsTCA2f-hqUBsQp1geOV4VKpmwWn9LGqbqEQWluJ4svjygRgLRFXyPnrUxHMNkaXSYresxO-M2dm3-B-GHDT/w640-h454/2-Volvo-65L.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>The Volvo Ocean 65<br /><br /></b></span></span><span style="text-align: start;"></span></td></tr></tbody></table></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: large;">By superimposing the sections of the <i>Camper</i> and the 65, I was surprised by the similarity of the shapes, certainly softer on the 65, with a bilge closer to the waterline, which makes the V even more open. However, this aperture doesn’t give her stiffness comparable to the one <i>Groupama 4</i> had. Juan Kouyoumdjian’s hull had a natural stiffness, thanks to her full shape under the bilge, moving the center of buoyancy away from the heel. For her ability to start on the planning, she relied on her extremely stretched lines on the eight tenths of her length.</span><br /><br /><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">According to her specifications, the VO 65 lacks a little stiffness and sail area, which is not very good for performance.

Avec l’imposition d’un monotype pour la 2014-15 Volvo Ocean Race, on pouvait espérer un véritable progrès, au vu de la diversité et de la qualité des idées des trois architectes de la Volvo précédente, et surtout de l’avancé des recherches sur les Mini-Transat ou les IMOCA. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEichHHyFDxr4Dcb4AnI9qcNESQX7XUZuZtiBdnKPgO0oFoqw5DGgNHUfmAnrg5mcaoOcYWEF9DEg4UMz3RObZXC2V6RfWidocgUss_j2YM9UfEnj3cyusIPujYbFKyZcizANuTrzGmLECraUzus0hyBw3AWP6hI2XnYHMq_3AIxU9gfNi9-ImXSezpb/s780/1-Holcim%20-%20PRB%20TOR22*%20copie.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="780" data-original-width="521" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEichHHyFDxr4Dcb4AnI9qcNESQX7XUZuZtiBdnKPgO0oFoqw5DGgNHUfmAnrg5mcaoOcYWEF9DEg4UMz3RObZXC2V6RfWidocgUss_j2YM9UfEnj3cyusIPujYbFKyZcizANuTrzGmLECraUzus0hyBw3AWP6hI2XnYHMq_3AIxU9gfNi9-ImXSezpb/s16000/1-Holcim%20-%20PRB%20TOR22*%20copie.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">HOLCIM</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Le choix de l’architecte du monotype Volvo 65, Bruce Farr, au lendemain de la victoire de <i>Groupama 4 </i>n’a pas manqué de surprendre. En effet, pour 2011-12, le cabinet Farr yacht Design n’a conçu que <i>Abu Dhabi</i>, arrivé cinquième, derrière trois voiliers du cabinet Juan Kouyoumdjian, qui s’était déjà octroyé les premières places dans les deux éditions de 2005-06 et de 2008-09. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dès le mois de décembre 2014, j’avais tracé les lignes de ce nouveau Volvo afin de comprendre ce que ce bateau avait dans le ventre. La première chose qui m’a frappé, c’est la taille de son bulbe, seulement 3,5 tonnes, proche du poids de ceux des IMOCA 60, alors que les VO 70 tendaient vers le double. Les 20 centimètres de tirant d’eau supérieurs ne sont pas négligeables, mais ne compensent pas la raideur que confère une quille de 7 tonnes. Les IMOCA sont des voiliers très légers conçus pour les courses au large, ils ont 5000 litres de ballast pour la brise et un petit bulbe pour le petit temps. La seconde surprise est venue lorsque j’ai cherché ce que le cabinet avait retenu de leur précédente création, <i>Abu Dhabi</i>. Le parti de ce voilier était assez radical, avec une étrave très ronde, une flottaison large et un bouchain assez bas. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhklnw7Ywg_ks7YEswVLF90EnXR06cDW6tIu0am-9QChj7nKTPkDE8We1wtYJQUyaMlkMi9qFFKFmo9pP50KLgFq7V9P0lpvpdF_WizLi3F2lwapbrgyJ4XBWqtlw9eeIa2n1xUmgAWf06cuoR1oKJdtGt4NAxaUwObCJMPrS9GJqRnS4Z9v66JGiPc/s1394/2-Volvo-65L.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="991" data-original-width="1394" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhklnw7Ywg_ks7YEswVLF90EnXR06cDW6tIu0am-9QChj7nKTPkDE8We1wtYJQUyaMlkMi9qFFKFmo9pP50KLgFq7V9P0lpvpdF_WizLi3F2lwapbrgyJ4XBWqtlw9eeIa2n1xUmgAWf06cuoR1oKJdtGt4NAxaUwObCJMPrS9GJqRnS4Z9v66JGiPc/w640-h454/2-Volvo-65L.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">VOLVO 65</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Le 65 conserve des flancs verticaux et un bau maximum avancé, mais présente des formes en V très ouvertes à partir du milieu de la coque. Comme ses formes sont typiques des TP 52, j’ai regardé les sections du voilier de Marcelino Botin, <i>Camper</i>, arrivé second en 2012. Marcelino est connu pour ses exploits dans cette classe, et la capacité de ses voiliers à planer au près par vent moyen est remarquable. Avec un bau maximum très reculé, à la gîte, le bateau se trouve sur un fond pratiquement plat sur la moitié de sa longueur, appuyé sur son bouchain, il plane merveilleusement. </span></span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: x-large;">En superposant les sections de </span><span style="font-size: large;"><i style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Camper</i><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: x-large;">et du 65, j’ai été surpris de la similitude des formes, certes plus douces sur le 65, avec un bouchain plus près de la flottaison, ce qui ouvre encore plus le V. Cependant cette ouverture ne lui confère pas une raideur comparable à celle que possédait </span><i style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Groupama 4</span></i><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: x-large;">. La carène de Juan Kouyoumdjian avait une raideur naturelle, grâce à ses formes pleines sous le bouchain, éloignant le centre de flottaison à la gîte. Pour sa faculté à partir au planning, il comptait sur ses lignes extrêmement tendues sur les huit dixièmes de sa longueur.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-size: large;">D’après ses caractéristiques, le VO 65 manque d’un peu de raideur et de voilure, ce qui n’est pas très bon, pour les performances. Il va gîter rapidement, et trouvera peut-être une allure qui lui sera favorable, mais si le vent monte, il risque de se trouver moins rapide qu’un 60’, mais plus apte à faire du près, en tous les cas, avec une vitesse qui risque de ne pas être supérieure à celle de ses aînés. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-size: large;">La course, qui devenait de plus en plus compliquée tant sur le parcours que le décompte des résultats, avec des régates in-port, est suivi en France grâce à une étape à Lorient et la présence de Charles Caudrelier skipper du bateau chinois <i>Dongfeng</i> qui se place troisième derrière <i>Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing</i> mené par Ian Walker et <i>Team Brunel</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpg3GCG4opBBi3AaDy2reqaH2hzIqhgtY88XGRI1qqpv8z2UlZ11G96FZwBQHN1_Ar5n45MZ1KRCPe3sf00bPSatcKivoXS18sabATSnfzBinOGH9kohfyuONe58ObuVUSdS6gqogIl1Zu3XuBfDIgsBWqX0p3evZNkhrAvNxMIhtq7ysjzZOIaP0s/s803/3-2017-18%20Donfeng%20V65.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="803" data-original-width="525" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpg3GCG4opBBi3AaDy2reqaH2hzIqhgtY88XGRI1qqpv8z2UlZ11G96FZwBQHN1_Ar5n45MZ1KRCPe3sf00bPSatcKivoXS18sabATSnfzBinOGH9kohfyuONe58ObuVUSdS6gqogIl1Zu3XuBfDIgsBWqX0p3evZNkhrAvNxMIhtq7ysjzZOIaP0s/s16000/3-2017-18%20Donfeng%20V65.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: start;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Dongfeng Race Team</span></b></span><span face="-webkit-standard" style="text-align: start;"></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dans la treizième édition de course autour du monde, la 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race, les Volvo Ocean 65 subissent un refit et sept concurrents s’alignent au départ d’Alicante. <i>Dongfeng Race Team </i>l’emporte, avec un équipage franco-chinois skippé par Charles Caudrelier, et composé entre autres de Pascal Bidégorry, Franck Cammas, Jérémie Beyou, Justine Mettraux, Marie Riou et Kevin Escoffier. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cinq équipes IMOCA sont prêtes à courir autour du monde dans The Ocean Race 2023. </span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: 400;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "New York", serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Le dernier plan de Guillaume Verdier, <i>Holcim-PRB</i>, est bien caractéristique des dernières tendances des IMOCA, avec des redans marqués à trois niveaux, les fonds, le bouchain principal et un autre, plus haut.

Dix concurrents quittent Southampton pour ce tour du monde dont la dernière étape passe par La Rochelle. Bruce Farr signe 8 des 10 plans, et s’octroie les sept premières places, et la neuvième, avec l’équipage féminin mené par Christine Guillou. Paul Cayard, célèbre régatier, remporte la victoire sur <i>EF Language</i> devant un chiffre impressionnant de figures de la course, comme Dennis Conner, Chris Dickson, Laurie Smith, Grant Dalton, Ross Field ou John Kostecki. Les plans Farr sont tous très proches, avec des formes encore assez rondes par rapport aux précédents Maxi.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><br /><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2wjRromJLdpvQsGPAGEr3Bp_8KNN-hKe3LZDYu8QT0_YAs1JDdzz4vzEbjhYwupXwfD3RiI1zmqQ7E_tXSnRUFPTn2tBOGKfkN_qP1w2Df9opgOG88IS-WQ1CgTCqXKJW14fCH5uETst-FZ2HsgcnKrU0MJjB5RtGuFfE3A4qzNybOYMWp4gDYw3X/s846/2-1997-98%20EF%20Language%20P.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="620" data-original-width="846" height="470" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2wjRromJLdpvQsGPAGEr3Bp_8KNN-hKe3LZDYu8QT0_YAs1JDdzz4vzEbjhYwupXwfD3RiI1zmqQ7E_tXSnRUFPTn2tBOGKfkN_qP1w2Df9opgOG88IS-WQ1CgTCqXKJW14fCH5uETst-FZ2HsgcnKrU0MJjB5RtGuFfE3A4qzNybOYMWp4gDYw3X/w640-h470/2-1997-98%20EF%20Language%20P.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: -24px; widows: 2;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>EF Language </i><o:p></o:p></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: -24px; widows: 2;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Perspective</span> © F </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: -24px; widows: 2;">Chevalier</span></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="font-size: large;">Déjà sponsorisé par Volvo en 1997-98, la Whitbread suivante change de nom et devient la 2001-02 Volvo Ocean Race. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="font-size: large;">La nouvelle jauge qui définit les VO 60 autorise le gréement carbone, ce qui va booster ces voiliers et modifier profondément leur comportement. Sur les huit candidats à la victoire, six plans conçus par Farr Design prennent le départ. L’équipe du <i>Nautor Challenge</i> a fait construire deux bateaux, dont un signé Bruce Farr, <i>Amer Sport Two</i>, l’autre, <i>Amer Sport One</i>, étant de la main de German Frers, Jr., « Mani Frers ». Le skipper Grant Dalton a réservé son choix jusqu’au dernier moment, laissant le yacht de Farr à l’équipage féminin de Lisa McDonald. Enfin, le huitième est le Norvégien <i>Djuice Dragons</i>, imaginé par Laurie Davidson.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Ce qui frappe en regardant les trois dessins, c’est d’une part l’étroitesse de la flottaison des voiliers, et d’autre part, le creux assez prononcé des carènes. Les trois concepteurs ont en effet créé des coques minces, munies de ballasts le plus à l’extérieur possible, avec un petit bouchain arrondi, jauge oblige, au niveau du maître-bau.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjp7Au1kLfXcYJ-ToNR1Ri8aQGa33qkvNBGVKEsbsYfdxY5nPW81SOWqMmwQsDgsnKFDNwVW72Etz7tLx6zz5oz-tw5vVwK_CBtz18iBZPeyJJ_fkMLre-HWfUNwPSG8hgzmK_VxN6-swmwBjMnydCZjGaIBks8BrMgSlGi1VKRyD-eTH33JdAs40R/s2284/5-2001%20V60%20L%20Dav.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1553" data-original-width="2284" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjp7Au1kLfXcYJ-ToNR1Ri8aQGa33qkvNBGVKEsbsYfdxY5nPW81SOWqMmwQsDgsnKFDNwVW72Etz7tLx6zz5oz-tw5vVwK_CBtz18iBZPeyJJ_fkMLre-HWfUNwPSG8hgzmK_VxN6-swmwBjMnydCZjGaIBks8BrMgSlGi1VKRyD-eTH33JdAs40R/w640-h436/5-2001%20V60%20L%20Dav.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><i>Illbruck Challenge </i>lines</span></span><span style="text-align: start;"></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 11.88px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: -24px; widows: 2;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span>© F </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: -24px; widows: 2;">Chevalier</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="font-size: large;">Pour Farr, un bateau doit être une « luge » coupée conformément aux exigences de la jauge. La coque semble sculptée à la serpe : l’avant est taillé en pointe selon un plan incliné suivant un tracé de pont rectiligne de l’étrave jusqu’au mât. Suit une seconde coupe verticale sur 50 cm et parallèle sur chaque bord. Celle-ci se prolonge loin sur l’arrière.

Considérant que ces racers planent à partir de la moindre brise, et stoppent brutalement dans les vagues trop abruptes, la coque doit se mettre au planning le plus vite possible, et basculer au près sans trop pivoter sur l’avant, afin d’augmenter la raideur. Résultat, une étrave monumentale, ronde et pleine, rasante, des flancs verticaux, un bau maximum autorisé dès la moitié du voilier, une ligne de flottaison large et centrée, des formes tendues, mais douces, des dérives fines et élaborées, pratiquement verticales et proches de l’axe.

Ten contenders left Southampton for this round-the-world race, the last leg of which took place in La Rochelle. Bruce Farr signed 8 of the 10 designs, and took the first seven positions, and the ninth, with the female crew led by Christine Guillou. Paul Cayard, famous sailor, won on <i>EF Language</i> ahead of an impressive number of racing figures, such as Dennis Conner, Chris Dickson, Laurie Smith, Grant Dalton, Ross Field or John Kostecki. The Farr designs were all very similar, with shapes which were still quite round in comparison to previous Maxis.</span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcD8oiU8psIS_0MBiUQikSOP5H7PPo-WnisVpcO8t3gD5ulWzYL1GOVmMivTJilc4oKPOE-PDqLqX_q_XkM7Vnq4ZmYUkPm_1vvLw5M6-w-AEOozrmQ4yZukNdtpmzTBSp4PUrq36Z8VaAMP4Qj9eWDm7PmznRz7DdED5mHCFpQFpISR21vLgIvA_U/s846/2-1997-98%20EF%20Language%20P.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="620" data-original-width="846" height="469" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcD8oiU8psIS_0MBiUQikSOP5H7PPo-WnisVpcO8t3gD5ulWzYL1GOVmMivTJilc4oKPOE-PDqLqX_q_XkM7Vnq4ZmYUkPm_1vvLw5M6-w-AEOozrmQ4yZukNdtpmzTBSp4PUrq36Z8VaAMP4Qj9eWDm7PmznRz7DdED5mHCFpQFpISR21vLgIvA_U/w640-h469/2-1997-98%20EF%20Language%20P.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><style class="WebKit-mso-list-quirks-style">

Of the eight contenders for victory, six designs by Farr Design raced. The <i>Nautor Challenge</i> team had two boats built, one by Bruce Farr, <i>Amer Sport Two</i>, the other, <i>Amer Sport One,</i> by German Frers, Jr., "Mani Frers ».Skipper Grant Dalton reserved his choice until the last minute, leaving Farr's yacht to Lisa McDonald women's crew. Finally, the eighth was the <i>Norwegian Djuice Dragons</i>, designed by Laurie Davidson.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">What is particularly striking when watching the three designs, is the narrowness of the boat waterline on the one hand, and on the other hand, the rather pronounced hollow of the hulls. The three designers created narrow hulls, with the ballast as far outboard as possible, with a small rounded bilge at the main beam.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">According to Farr, a boat has to be a "sled" shaped to match the requirements of the rule. The hull seems to be carved with a sword: the bow is carved in a sloping plane following a straight line from the bow to the mast. </span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEZNduZD4BRVXyKHDqT7r2Bg3EmPNFXmeL_w_1Av0P1_1QNnlJANmoKs456AYQy5U3YLpOnkViwlC0TYYyDVMYIIKzYmalEllhIAlCDD2VnKGndI_hhu3WsJxwL6ohRYGCx2IPcWctEyJajc5ah6s7mSj7IFCKpA-pRflTAYIR1YAmpv3YS1cJck36/s1139/4-2001%20V60%20Farr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="770" data-original-width="1139" height="433" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEZNduZD4BRVXyKHDqT7r2Bg3EmPNFXmeL_w_1Av0P1_1QNnlJANmoKs456AYQy5U3YLpOnkViwlC0TYYyDVMYIIKzYmalEllhIAlCDD2VnKGndI_hhu3WsJxwL6ohRYGCx2IPcWctEyJajc5ah6s7mSj7IFCKpA-pRflTAYIR1YAmpv3YS1cJck36/w640-h433/4-2001%20V60%20Farr.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; text-indent: -24px;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><i>Illbruck Challenge </i>lines</span></span><span style="text-align: start;"></span></span><span style="font-family: Times; text-indent: -24px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span>© F </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; text-indent: -24px;">Chevalier<br /><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Then follows a second vertical section over 50 cm and parallel on each edge.

Considering that these racers plane from the slightest breeze, and stop abruptly in too steep waves, the hull needs to get up to speed as quickly as possible, and tilt close-hauled without pivoting too much on the bow, in order to increase the stiffness. The Result: a monumental bow, round and strong, grazing, vertical side walls, a maximum beam allowed halfway up the yacht, a wide and centered waterline, stretched but soft shapes, fine and elaborate daggerboards, practically vertical and close to the axis.

Ross Field won the trophy in her class aboard <i>Yamaha</i>.<br /><br />The New Zealand Endeavour's design shows Bruce Farr's understanding of the IOR rule, with extremely stretched bow shapes, a huge measurement bulge at frame number 6, where the water lines converge, and with a tapering stern, with a virtually flat bottom and flared sides. </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Les bras sont orientés sur l’avant des flotteurs, afin de diminuer l’impact en mer formée. Le cockpit, en avant du bras arrière, s’inspire des derniers IMOCA.<i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></i></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: large; font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: large; font-style: italic; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-k0CXrIyOB0jrjC1QDQgfyoYB_WtRRky4HR5yL1u3yTnh5uQlNyewmtmU9_ladporpEA4CQ3E0ya1uRpQ8Z1Ge32w8MmB_s2VJd0dIIG8iSkQ-hIHiiepf_w9q8Fg4GmJrTCnDpu6MBU8u0FsKXq2qmK58gcwY0iAo9giXEavKc8_dWYAKMyeNlHh/s786/2-Gitana%2017%203%20vues.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="553" data-original-width="786" height="481" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-k0CXrIyOB0jrjC1QDQgfyoYB_WtRRky4HR5yL1u3yTnh5uQlNyewmtmU9_ladporpEA4CQ3E0ya1uRpQ8Z1Ge32w8MmB_s2VJd0dIIG8iSkQ-hIHiiepf_w9q8Fg4GmJrTCnDpu6MBU8u0FsKXq2qmK58gcwY0iAo9giXEavKc8_dWYAKMyeNlHh/w684-h481/2-Gitana%2017%203%20vues.png" width="684" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-style: normal;">GITANA 17</span> <span style="font-style: normal;">(2017-2022)</span></b></span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small; font-style: normal;">©François Chevalier Juin 2022<br /><br /></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: large; font-style: italic; text-align: center;"></div><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: large; font-style: italic; text-align: left;"><br /></div><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: x-large;"><b><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></span></p>BANQUE POPULAIRE XI</b></span><p></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Banque Populaire XI </i>est le fruit du développement du précédent <i>IX </i>détruit lors de la Route du Rhum 2018, sa première course.

Les flancs sont très évasés, avec une généreuse réserve de flottabilité, permettant de créer un espace de manœuvre sous le pont, en arrière du mât, avec ses deux sorties par les cockpits latéraux.</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinHgT9xS_7QnX80hQKOU6gpRBEbX6Qs2LyK1wtkMPYU_n7QJxN1k6b6nv85skbgvQxcWmTMVO6TGDMhNMiihIjv_lQNkoZFBrHp6dVAMxwwmXtCQAWmkQFYB7Akj0KTPOtNYzS4RoXagfwJ6cVNF02InbtY57-bbS8PhOq-i9UgncqBcSs_JseIdwO/s760/9-SVR-Lazartigue%20Coque%20Centrale.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="516" data-original-width="760" height="441" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinHgT9xS_7QnX80hQKOU6gpRBEbX6Qs2LyK1wtkMPYU_n7QJxN1k6b6nv85skbgvQxcWmTMVO6TGDMhNMiihIjv_lQNkoZFBrHp6dVAMxwwmXtCQAWmkQFYB7Akj0KTPOtNYzS4RoXagfwJ6cVNF02InbtY57-bbS8PhOq-i9UgncqBcSs_JseIdwO/w650-h441/9-SVR-Lazartigue%20Coque%20Centrale.png" width="650" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: Times; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">SVR-LAZARTIGUE - COQUE CENTRALE<br /></span></b><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: x-small;">©François Chevalier Juin 2022</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: large;">Les équipiers aux winches sont totalement à l’abri des embruns.

Le bout-dehors démontable ne doit pas dépasser 2 mètres et le franc-bord moyen doit être au moins égal à 1,08 mètre.

Le tirant d’air de la grand-voile est au maximum à 19 mètres, et la surface des deux voiles, solent et grand voile, limitée à 115 mètres carrés. Enfin, deux mesures, qui devaient empêcher de concevoir un scow, prise à 20 centimètres et deux mètres de l’étrave, limitent la largeur de la coque à 45 centimètres et 3,15 mètres.</span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px; min-height: 31px;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">Le premier à tenter une solution adaptée à la jauge pour créer une carène proche des scows est celle d’Eric Levet pour le cabinet Marc Lombard, qui, dès 2016, travaille dans cette direction. <i>Carac</i>, n° 150, un Lift 40, mis à l’eau en 2017, possède une coque pleine sur l’avant, avec un flanc vertical qui contourne le voilier. La carène est résolument à fond très plate, avec des sections eu U très ouvertes et un bouchain résolument vif. Il n’y a plus de transition entre le bordé et la carène, le bouchain crée une cassure franche. L’étrave est relevée, ce n’est déjà plus la longueur de la flottaison à l’arrêt qui compte, mais la capacité de la carène à planer, et à escalader les vagues au lieu de s’y planter.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px; min-height: 31px;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p><p style="color: #303234; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><b>1 – CARAC</b></span></p><p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="font-family: times;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-j1S02u1qaBE/YZPBJCs0W0I/AAAAAAAAKzs/NppYsDE51_MdhSJjVNLKqblIHdLa9_LrgCLcBGAsYHQ/1-150%2BCarac.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="801" data-original-width="576" height="770" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-j1S02u1qaBE/YZPBJCs0W0I/AAAAAAAAKzs/NppYsDE51_MdhSJjVNLKqblIHdLa9_LrgCLcBGAsYHQ/w554-h770/1-150%2BCarac.png" width="554" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Carac</i> est le premier de la série des Lift 40 du cabinet Marc Lombard.

Comme sur le Lift 40, la coque est entourée d’un ruban vertical ; la carène, aux formes douces, vient se rapporter sous le bouchain. L’étrave est très fuyante, et la flottaison commence bien au-delà du couple un. Le but est clair, le voilier doit planer en permanence, et lever le nez ! Afin d’améliorer les performances au près, le voile de quille est en avant par rapport au bulbe du lest, et pour assurer une plus grande raideur de la coque, et assurer un volume en cas de retournement, le roof est prolongé jusqu’au premier couple.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px; min-height: 31px;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p><p style="color: #303234; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><b>4 – <i>Crédit Mutuel</i>, lines</b></span></p><p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="font-family: times;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Hx5-Frm9_0g/YZPDb-WRQpI/AAAAAAAAK0I/SvuG29IQhZMbxQ4jPzhprJgaUjx-T2tJACLcBGAsYHQ/4-158%2BCr%25C3%25A9dit%2BMutuel%2BLines.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="578" data-original-width="807" height="443" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Hx5-Frm9_0g/YZPDb-WRQpI/AAAAAAAAK0I/SvuG29IQhZMbxQ4jPzhprJgaUjx-T2tJACLcBGAsYHQ/w620-h443/4-158%2BCr%25C3%25A9dit%2BMutuel%2BLines.png" width="620" /></a></div><p></p><p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sur les derniers Class America, on parlait de boîte à chaussure, on est de nouveau en plein dedans.

Dans la première génération, les architectes ont hésité à créer une ligne droite sur la moitié de la longueur, et préféré arrondir légèrement cette ligne en favorisant un bau maximum en arrière du pied de mât de la descente. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">Or, dans cet espace, entre la ligne d’étrave et la tangente au point de mesure des deux mètres, le cabinet a formé une bosse de 35 centimètres d’épaisseur, qui écarte la carène à un endroit crucial, et prolonge la flottaison à la gîte de près de 90 centimètres. En effet, l’inconvénient de l’étrave-scow pointue est de diminuer drastiquement la longueur de flottaison à partir de 10 degrés de gîte. Tant que la brise souffle, les formes sont suffisamment tendues pour que la longueur de flottaison ne soit pas un souci, mais dans le petit temps, la longueur est primordiale, autant que la réduction de la surface mouillée. Cette protubérance aurait pu être un handicap sur le plan de l’augmentation de la surface développée de coque, mais la bosse a pu être circonscrite en incurvant le flan à cet endroit et en augmentant le plan incliné du livet qui plonge vers l’étrave. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">Les formes des sections de la carène sont fidèles aux idées du cabinet qui favorise un fond plat, avec un arrière légèrement incurvé, pour un meilleur planning, et des côtés en V pour réduire la surface mouillée à la gîte, en s’appuyant sur le bouchain. Des sections moins caricaturales que sur leur premier Lift 40, une étrave qui rebique un peu plus, mais des lignes plus tendues sur l’avant, le Lift 40 V2 d’Aurélien Ducroz et David Sineau, <i>Crosscall</i> (N° 166), a tout pour décoller. Le voile de quille a été avancé pour le près, alors que le mât est en arrière du milieu du voilier, le safran, lui est maintenant en arrière de la jupe, gage d’équilibre aux grandes allures.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px; min-height: 31px;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p><p style="color: #303234; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><b>9 – EMILE HENRY - HAPPY VORE</b></span></p><p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p><p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="font-family: times;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mmuxEw3isJQ/YZPF9fArzjI/AAAAAAAAK0w/emDdwwpP1q8y5iAoc-rMEGbRjLqZAltUACLcBGAsYHQ/9-167%2BEmile%2BH%2BHappyVore.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="815" data-original-width="590" height="823" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mmuxEw3isJQ/YZPF9fArzjI/AAAAAAAAK0w/emDdwwpP1q8y5iAoc-rMEGbRjLqZAltUACLcBGAsYHQ/w596-h823/9-167%2BEmile%2BH%2BHappyVore.png" width="596" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="color: #303234; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Times;"><span style="font-size: large;">Si les architectes de l‘agence VPLP sont connus pour avoir fait avancer les choses en Imoca, ils sont tous nouveaux venus dans la Class40 avec leur Clak 40. Deux voiliers ont été mis en chantier, et malheureusement, seul le bateau de Nicolas d’Estais et Erwan Le Draoulec, <i>Emile Henry - HappyVore</i> (N° 167), partira dans cette Transat. Comme sur le trimaran d’Ellen MacArthur <i>B&Q – Castorama</i>, avec lequel elle a détenu le record du monde en solitaire en 2005, chaque côté du voilier reçoit un décor totalement différent.

Le bouchain inférieur est un peu plus haut que sur les Max 40 de David Raison et la forme générale de la carène est assez proche, avec un tableau arrière un peu moins large.

Ce qui frappe sur ce plan, c’est l’assiette du voilier, résolument enfoncé sur l’arrière, avec un voile de quille en avant du lest, qui lui est très reculé, et avec un centre de gravité du lest très en arrière. Le profil de carène rebique au niveau de l’étrave, s’enfonce en ligne droite jusqu’au-delà du voile de quille, remonte avec un point d’inflexion pour terminer à l’horizontale quinze centimètres sous l’eau.

Visiblement, la priorité n’a pas été donnée à la raideur. En effet, le bau maximum, vue en plan, est inférieur à celui de la jauge, de 8 centimètres, c’est-à-dire 4,42 au lieu de 4,50 mètres et il est rectiligne à partir du pied de mât, et le bouchain inférieur ne dépasse pas 4,15 mètres de large. Les formes rondes correspondent à une recherche de surface mouillée, même si l’arrière peut traîner un volume d’eau important. Compromis entre recherche de vitesse par petit temps, moyennes élevées au portant dans la brise et efficacité au près dans la mer formée, Guillaume Verdier nous a concocté un cocktail original qui ne manque pas d’atout. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><o:p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">Pour compenser le volume d’un roof assez court, le pont avant présente un bouge important.

<p style="color: #303234; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px; min-height: 31px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">A quick reminder: the length of the hull is limited to 12.19 meters, the beam to 4.50 meters and the draft to 3 meters. The removable bowsprit must not exceed 2 meters and the average freeboard must be at least 1.08 meters. The minimum displacement is 4.5 t, several ballast tanks totaling 1500 liters are possible, the keel is fixed, no daggerboards or foils, no sophisticated rigging, and exotic materials, carbon, Kevlar or others are forbidden. The air draft of the mainsail is limited to a maximum of 19 meters, and the surface area of both sails, solent and mainsail, is limited to 115 square meters. Finally, two measures, which should prevent the design of a scow, taken at 20 centimeters and two meters from the bow, limit the width of the hull to 45 centimeters and 3.15 meters.</span></p>
<p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px; min-height: 31px;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="font-family: times;">The first Class40 to attempt a solution adapted to the rule to create a hull close to the scow is that of Eric Levet for the Marc Lombard firm, which, as of 2016, is working in this direction. <i>Carac</i>, n° 150, a Lift 40, launched in 2017, has a full-hull forward, with a vertical side that goes around the boat. The hull is resolutely flat-bottomed, with very open U-shaped sections and a resolutely sharp chine. There is no longer any transition between the planking and the hull, the chine creates a clear break. The bow is raised, it is no longer the length of the waterline at rest that counts, but the ability of the hull to do some planning, and climbing the waves instead of crashing into them.</span></p>

<p style="color: #303234; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><i>Carac</i> is the first of the Lift 40 series from Marc Lombard. The drawing of the chine on the rear half is actually higher. The angle of attack of the bow is the beginning of a revolution in Class 40 hull design.</span></p>

In fact, some American scows have this kind of pinched bow. The water lines on the front are close to the chine and very curved. When heeled, the yacht leans on an almost flat plane, from front to back, making it easier to plan ahead.</span></p>

<p style="color: #303234; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">The David Raison revolution, which had been accustomed to its round noses for the last ten years, has won with its first Class40 in the Transat Jacques Vabre 2019, which crushes the competition, even though it is reputed to be top class. The round nose, made pointed by the obligation of a rule, is a thumbnail to all the traditions.</span></p>

<p style="color: #303234; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">The aft half of the boat is at the maximum of the authorized beam, and the front is as wide as possible, within the limit of the famous 20 centimeters from the bow. As on the Lift 40, the hull is surrounded by a vertical ribbon; the hull, with its soft shapes, comes to rest under the chine. The bow is very elusive, and buoyancy begins well beyond frame one. The goal is clear, the sailboat must glide permanently, and raise the nose! In order to improve upwind performance, the keel sail is forward in relation to the ballast bulb, and to ensure greater stiffness of the hull, and to provide volume in case of overturning, the roof is extended to the first couple.</span></p>

There is a certain symmetry in the water lines below the waterline, which corresponds to the hull underwater. As soon as the sailboat heels, the water surface decreases drastically.</span></p>

The silhouette is very powerful. In reality, with the breeze, the masthead bends and the lift operates, raising the bow to better surf the waves.</span></p>

The chine, quite high, is kept on the rear third. The waterline is slightly longer than on <i>Crédit Mutuel</i>, but the will to ride the waves is the same, even if the boat pushes lightly more water than its competitor. </span></p>

In the first generation, the architects were reluctant to create a straight line for half the length, preferring to round it off slightly by favoring a maximum beam aft of the mast step.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #303234; font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, in this space, between the bow line and the tangent at the two-meter measurement point, the firm formed a 35-centimeter-thick protuberance, which pushes the hull apart at a crucial point and extends the waterline at heel by almost 90 centimeters. Indeed, the disadvantage of the pointed bow scow is that it drastically reduces the waterline length from 10 degrees of heels. As long as the breeze is blowing, the shapes are tight enough that waterline length is not a concern, but in light airs, length is essential, as is the reduction in wetted area. This prominence could have been a handicap in terms of increasing the developed hull area, but the bulge was contained by curving the sidewall at this point and increasing the inclination of the planking which falls towards the bow. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #303234; font-family: times;">The shape of the hull sections is faithful to the ideas of Marc Lombard's office, which favors a flat bottom, with a slightly incurved stern for better planning, and V-shaped sides to reduce the wetted surface area at the helm, by leaning on the chine. With fewer caricatured sections than on their first Lift 40, a bow that bounces fairly more, but straighter lines up front, Aurélien Ducroz and David Sineau's Lift 40 V2, </span><i style="color: #303234; font-family: times;">Crosscall</i><span style="color: #303234; font-family: times;">, n° 166, has everything it takes to take off. The keel sail has been brought forward for upwind sailing, while the mast is aft of the middle of the boat, and the rudder is now aft of the transom, providing balance on long reaching. </span></span></p>

<p style="color: #303234; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">If the architects of the VPLP agency are known for having made progress in the Imoca class, they are newcomers to the Class40 with their Clak 40. Two boats have been built, and unfortunately, only Nicolas d'Estais and Erwan Le Draoulec's boat, <i>Emile Henry – HappyVore</i>, n° 167, will be taking part in this Transat. As on Ellen MacArthur's trimaran B&Q - <i>Castorama</i>, with which she held the solo world record in 2005, each side of the boat is given a totally different decoration. The starboard side is black, in the colors of <i>Emile Henry</i>, and the other is white and pale green. I had great difficulty in reconstructing these plans, as the boat was still being built at the time of writing.</span></p>

The bow is high enough to lower the aft end of the deck as much as possible, thus slimming the silhouette of the boat and reducing the shoebox effect. The lower chine is fairly higher than on David Raison's Max 40s and the general shape of the hull is quite similar, with a slightly narrower transom. The rigging is the furthest back of all the Class40s to improve planning.</span></span><p></p><p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><b><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="color: #303234; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><b><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">11 – SERENIS CONSULTING</span></b></p><p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p><p style="color: #303234; font-size: 25.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-998e2TY-Byo/YZPHRz3PrjI/AAAAAAAAK1I/7lUCrGagiOEKThqbJ7w8Scx5b5aeAGDPgCLcBGAsYHQ/11-163%2BSerenis%2BConsulting.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: times;"><img alt="" data-original-height="815" data-original-width="590" height="761" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-998e2TY-Byo/YZPHRz3PrjI/AAAAAAAAK1I/7lUCrGagiOEKThqbJ7w8Scx5b5aeAGDPgCLcBGAsYHQ/w552-h761/11-163%2BSerenis%2BConsulting.png" width="552" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span><p></p>

Of the three boats ordered, two are taking part in the Transat Jacques Vabre. <i>Serenis Consulting</i>, n°163, owned by Jean Galfione and Eric Péron, and <i>Seafrigo-Sogestran</i>, n° 172, owned by Cédric Château and Jérémie Mion. What is most noticeable about this plan is the boat's trim, which is resolutely sunken at the stern, with a fin keel in front of the ballast, which is very far back, and with the center of gravity of the ballast very far back. The profile of the hull bends at the level of the bow, sinking in a straight line to beyond the fin of the keel, rising with a point of inflection to end horizontally fifteen centimeters under water. The boat seems to be cambered, and ready to take off.</span></p>

Clearly, stiffness has not been the priority. Indeed, the maximum beam, seen in drawings, is 8 centimeters less than the rule, i.e., 4.42 instead of 4.50 meters, and it is straight from the foot of the mast, and the lower chine does not exceed 4.15 meters in the beam. The round shapes correspond to a search for wetted surface, even if the stern can drag a large volume of water. Guillaume Verdier has concocted an original cocktail of speed in light airs, high average speeds downwind in a breeze and efficiency upwind in heavy seas.</span><span style="font-family: times;"> </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #303234; font-family: times;">To compensate for the volume of a rather short roof, the foredeck has a lot of deck camber. All Class 40s have the particularity of not staying upside down, thanks to a rule that imposes a lot of volume above the deck.</span></span></p>

This also reduces the developed surface of the whole hull, and puts the weight gained into the ballast.</span></p>

Premier point, l’AC75 doit voler dès que le vent permet le départ des régates. Second point, la coque doit avoir une fonction d’aile d’avion à basse vitesse, et près du sol. Aussi le navire est traité comme un hydravion devant décoller et se maintenir au-dessus de l’eau à basse vitesse. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Times-Semibold; line-height: 32px;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g8HH-aJ5qj4/YHBfFmqN6_I/AAAAAAAAKUA/pH0sxnw-T-0_aClfPG4a_yW149MPXOgmACLcBGAsYHQ/s787/-AC%2B75%2BTe%2BRehutai%2BLines.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="561" data-original-width="787" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g8HH-aJ5qj4/YHBfFmqN6_I/AAAAAAAAKUA/pH0sxnw-T-0_aClfPG4a_yW149MPXOgmACLcBGAsYHQ/w506-h360/-AC%2B75%2BTe%2BRehutai%2BLines.png" width="506" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: Times-Semibold; line-height: 32px;"><span style="font-size: large;">L’étrave de Te Rehutai est particulièrement découpée comme celle d’un Catalina. Seuls les deux cockpits émergent de l’aile, le plus étroit possible. Le pont est abaissé au maximum en tenant compte des points de mesure minima, le fond de la coque est en aile de mouette et le plus plat possible sur l’arrière pour assurer l’effet de sol. Résultat, une surface frontale de 10 à 15 % inférieure aux challengers. Enfin, les foils ont deux fonctions, raideur par le lest, et la portance, donc le poids sera dans un obus, et les ailes sont longues, fines et horizontales, pour un maximum de portance et un minimum de traînée. Peut-être pas autant de portance que son proche concurrent qui a opté pour de larges ailes qui contiennent le lest, mais les Néo-Zeds remontent le vent avec un VMG légèrement supérieur.<o:p></o:p></span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Times-Semibold; line-height: 32px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times-Semibold; line-height: 32px;">Le cocktail est inédit, étonnant, un peu tarabiscoté, mais gagnant</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 32px;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Times-Semibold; line-height: 32px;"><span style="font-size: large;">!</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Times-Semibold; line-height: 32px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Times-Semibold; line-height: 32px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm -21.6pt;"><b><span style="font-family: Times-Semibold; line-height: 32px;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>Jacqueshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12322121318690860646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618098998957554284.post-9243040139270224942021-04-09T16:01:00.000+02:002021-04-09T16:01:22.217+02:0036th AMERICA'S CUP: ANALYSIS of TE RUHATAI's VICTORY <h1 style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Times;"><b>Analysis of TNZ's Victory</b></span></h1><p><span style="font-family: Times;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Before unraveling what, the next America’s Cup will be like, it is essential to understand why Te Rehutai was the fastest, in yacht designing terms, and I haven’t really seen an explanation in the press.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F3fAel8xRY4/YHBcTPmvaOI/AAAAAAAAKTs/2buYCL7msC4jWy4AZESp8lRGNJkt4r73ACLcBGAsYHQ/s785/AC75%2BTe%2BRehutai%2Bc.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="785" data-original-width="563" height="728" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F3fAel8xRY4/YHBcTPmvaOI/AAAAAAAAKTs/2buYCL7msC4jWy4AZESp8lRGNJkt4r73ACLcBGAsYHQ/w524-h728/AC75%2BTe%2BRehutai%2Bc.png" width="524" /></a></div><br /><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">First, Guillaume Verdier, the initiator of the AC75, has a global vision of the ideal sailboat that is more homogeneous, as he is the inventor. </span></span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">The first point, the AC75 must fly as soon as the wind allows the start of the regatta. </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aq5TOTQnTnk/YHBdLUrAQLI/AAAAAAAAKT0/tGswtncrYdczLzI-XoGLVRb5pRPvRlBawCLcBGAsYHQ/s787/-AC%2B75%2BTe%2BRehutai%2BLines.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="561" data-original-width="787" height="442" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aq5TOTQnTnk/YHBdLUrAQLI/AAAAAAAAKT0/tGswtncrYdczLzI-XoGLVRb5pRPvRlBawCLcBGAsYHQ/w620-h442/-AC%2B75%2BTe%2BRehutai%2BLines.png" width="620" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 32px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">The second point, the hull must have a function of an airplane wing at low speed, and near the land.

The design teams are increasingly comprised of hydrodynamic and aerodynamic engineers, and the amount of creative work left to the designers is increasingly reduced. For our own part, we’ve never spent so much time understanding and reproduce the lines of these yachts. It is difficult to reference, as usual, the designers’ personality. If it’s impossible to mistake a William Fife’s drawing with a Nat Herreshoff, from now on the ideas fly, as much as the crafts! And each one builds on a powerful idea to avoid slowing down in maneuvers or wind changes, and quickly recover speed. </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">Britannia 2</span><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;">Back to the first Britannia.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;">This one looked almost like a semi-trailer, with a bow as a cap and back boards that could help with beam wind propulsion. Another, more interesting feature was to dig a central tunnel in order to increase the surface area of the lower part of the mainsail. Consequently, the mast support was positioned higher on a console. Indeed, the rule stipulates that the mast base must be at least 1.50 m above the measurement waterline, at the same height as the sheer line. The rule also specifies the longitudinal location of the spar step. Amazing, by the way, these rules, where the characteristics are not called by name. We talk on a reference line or plane, but never about “hull length” or “freeboard.” By going down the central section of the deck, it’s possible to save more than two square meters of sail. However, this option has some disadvantages. Thus, this sailboat would win the prize for the largest hull development and, in general, this is not the purpose. From an aerodynamic point of view, the semi-trailer solution is not a panacea. The hull, very wide at the aft end, with a fairly round hull, adheres before take-off and slams during water landings. Very soon, it became obvious to add a central edge to soften the hull’s fall in the water.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gOqpeyHAmGs/YBfUeOlo35I/AAAAAAAAKDI/Xjt4rZ64ht8Yk_Rj7C1FfST_MtXVzMkKQCLcBGAsYHQ/s792/Britannia%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="792" data-original-width="567" height="710" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gOqpeyHAmGs/YBfUeOlo35I/AAAAAAAAKDI/Xjt4rZ64ht8Yk_Rj7C1FfST_MtXVzMkKQCLcBGAsYHQ/w508-h710/Britannia%2B2.png" width="508" /></a></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-US"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;">For the latter yacht, Britannia 2, the design team has completely reviewed its copy. Exit, the wind tunnel. A large, flat-bottomed keel, which extends from under the bowsprit, quickly widens to end, deep enough, in a tapered position, ahead the rudder. The hull itself is lined with a second one, narrower, which begins in front of the foils to stop on the stern. It is designed for trim adjustments. In fact, the boat is made up of three superposed hulls. Britannia 2 is cambering while losing height. This prevents the hull from undergoing a violent rise in wetted surface area.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IkfvgF1IqKU/YBfWD4k0ZqI/AAAAAAAAKDU/wmmAWzELVngXPQ75fINa5PZA5c7Q5MZBACLcBGAsYHQ/s791/Britannia%2B2%2BLines.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="567" data-original-width="791" height="459" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IkfvgF1IqKU/YBfWD4k0ZqI/AAAAAAAAKDU/wmmAWzELVngXPQ75fINa5PZA5c7Q5MZBACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h459/Britannia%2B2%2BLines.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;">As all competitors have found, the AC75 does not need width at the waterline when at rest. Arms and foils operate as stabilizers. This is a feature that was little taken into consideration in the first generation, but that everyone has integrated since then. A great deal of aerodynamic work has been done to ensure good aerodynamic leak. However, the priority seems to have been given to a better penetration of the sea spray, with a freeboard diving well below the bowsprit. The outline of the Britannia 2’s bow appears to create less buoyant lift than its rivals, notably in light airs, when lifting onto its foils. When forced to increase the curve of the foils’ flaps, the British lose speed, especially in tacking. To make this set flying, wide foils have been retained, with initially wings “Stuka type,” allowing self-stability, then broad V-shaped wings, with a spoiler at the tips. The ballast is positioned in the central part of the wings, without creating a bump.

There’s not a single spot where the hull or the underbody would be flat. All surfaces are perfectly rounded. The forward sections are in a very open V-shape, which creates a figure suitable for lift at the beginning of speeds. The keel—thin—starts under the bowsprit and dips almost straight down to the arms of the foils. Then it climbs beneath the hull at the last part. The deck is slightly recessed to gain sail area, favor the wind acceleration in the lower part of the sails and increase the plaque effect by reducing its inclination. In this way, the center of gravity is dropped.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;">AC75s tend to tip forward during tacking, losing speed, going from 40 knots to 30 knots, even 25 knots if the hull contacts the water, and to 18 knots when the hull plunges deeper in water.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hXKyVFJjjS4/YBfXiNUfMHI/AAAAAAAAKDk/5x_YvAq586cZTZ7D38q-gssOznL1B57_wCLcBGAsYHQ/s793/Patriot%2BLines.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="565" data-original-width="793" height="456" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hXKyVFJjjS4/YBfXiNUfMHI/AAAAAAAAKDk/5x_YvAq586cZTZ7D38q-gssOznL1B57_wCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h456/Patriot%2BLines.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;">On the three views of the line plan, the hull is shown in the boat’s measurement position, i.e., at rest. In this configuration, the mast is inclined five degrees aft. However, when flying, the pitch changes and the yachts heel forward, often by about one point five degrees. Sometimes the curve can be as much as five degrees. However this doesn’t last. Only Luna Rossa 2 leans fairly less. In fact, the boat is in its trim when the bands on the sails become horizontal. On the other side, all the sail planes are represented in the highest-flying position. But this difference in display is not a problem for designers who only work with computer programs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;">On Patriot’s water lines (see drawing view), the narrowness of the waterline, and therefore its thinness, can be clearly discerned, with particularly pinched water entrances. The foils are wide V-shaped, slim, with a shell in the center and two small spoilers folded down at each end. At the peak right from the first trials, it was without considering the progress made by the other teams.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">Luna Rossa 2</span><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;">Right from the beginning, the Italians had decided on a long keel and a symmetrical silhouette, with the freeboard measurement point culminating at the very foot of the mast. Below the waterline, the water lines were nearly balanced. The fact that cockpits are lateral is a result of multihull habits in which the central section has become the indispensable mainsail base plate, following the theory that the ideal plate perfectly reflects the sail above, like a mirror, with all its strength.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-URprakDjUds/YBfXrcKAaXI/AAAAAAAAKDo/_GMr9r_9gfst25qKmozHzIA6cWzlzYqCwCLcBGAsYHQ/s794/Luna%2BRossa%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="794" data-original-width="568" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-URprakDjUds/YBfXrcKAaXI/AAAAAAAAKDo/_GMr9r_9gfst25qKmozHzIA6cWzlzYqCwCLcBGAsYHQ/w458-h640/Luna%2BRossa%2B2.png" width="458" /></span></a></div><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span><p></p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;">The version #2 of Luna Rossa doesn’t show any radical change, but the keel, still V-shaped, is deeper and the cut of the freeboard on the front is more marked. The front water lines are more pronounced.

A broad bow wafer with rounded edges, a keel that starts in the axis of the bowsprit, widening to the horizontally, while a true keel, curved, comes to stick underneath to die on the transom in the shape of a reversed cake mold. This emphasizes the two functions of the hull: to control the wind at deck level and, for the hull, to manage changes in trim and hull height. It can also be added that the aerodynamic problem is crucial, and that the design of the bow and the entire forepeak can play an important role in its ability to rise in the air. These shapes would still be basic on Te Rehutai if on the bridge, the channel did not start so early, from the tack of the Solent—rule obliges—so that the official support of the mast is carried by a 60-centimeter-high pylon. As a result, the jib and mainsail areas are increased, and the plate slope is decreased. Below, the flat hull flared at the stern to end in a very wide V at the transom.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ASnbM2uM8Hw/YBfYzUxeEoI/AAAAAAAAKEA/RXw9kgvu_MMOFHPC23350nkRngucQGdOwCLcBGAsYHQ/s793/Te%2BRehutai%2BLines.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="569" data-original-width="793" height="460" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ASnbM2uM8Hw/YBfYzUxeEoI/AAAAAAAAKEA/RXw9kgvu_MMOFHPC23350nkRngucQGdOwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h460/Te%2BRehutai%2BLines.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;">What is for sure is that all the ingredients that seemed to give an advantage over the first boats launched were found on this machine, whose design is innovative, to say the least. As on Britannia 2, two horizontal V-shaped rods at the masthead are used to trim the mainsail opening. The arms of the foils have a protrusion on the back, before the part left open to each contestant, which increases the buoyancy of the arms and thus the stability of the boat. The foils have a prominent, seamless bulb with slim, flat, chopper-shaped wings with winglets. Their newest design is just as thin, but less curved.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;">If the first flights seemed quite stationary, and some flights in light airs were amazing, the control of these monohulls is a matter for specialists who admit to spending a lot of time behind the screens. The America’s Cup has often been contested with a wide range of skills and disparate sailboats. The winning team will be the one that will have found the most multi-purpose racer, between technology and a sense of the sea, in such a way as to be able to explore the full potential of these monohulls of the future.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times;

Réalisés en prévision de régates à Cagliari et à Portsmouth en 2020, ils sont désormais destinés au rebut, ces épreuves ayant été annulées. Comme nous avions pu le voir, les design teams avaient répondu à la nouvelle jauge par des solutions architecturales bien différentes. Résultat : pour le deuxième bateau, il ne leur a pas été aisé de tirer des certitudes. Cependant, tout le monde a retenu qu’il était indispensable de créer une fine coque sous la coque principale, sorte de quille longue, pour faciliter le décollage.</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-49GTRIOvcIg/YBfEV12zzLI/AAAAAAAAKBg/zt4H5y0Tdag-eLrnOvAwxeRhvoSqY9pngCLcBGAsYHQ/s792/Britannia%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="792" data-original-width="567" height="772" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-49GTRIOvcIg/YBfEV12zzLI/AAAAAAAAKBg/zt4H5y0Tdag-eLrnOvAwxeRhvoSqY9pngCLcBGAsYHQ/w553-h772/Britannia%2B2.png" width="553" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 23px;">Il n’est jamais évident de redessiner les plans de forme d’un bateau dont on n’a aucun document provenant du cabinet d’architecte. Les équipes de concepteurs sont de plus en plus composées d’ingénieurs en hydrodynamique et en aérodynamique, et la part de création qui reste aux designers est de plus en plus réduite. Pour ma part, je n’ai jamais passé autant de temps pour arriver à comprendre et reproduire les formes de ces voiliers. Difficile de se référer, comme d’habitude, à la personnalité de l’architecte. S’il est impossible de confondre un plan de William Fife avec un plan de Nat Herreshoff, désormais les idées volent, autant que les bateaux</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 23px;"> </span></span><span style="line-height: 23px;"><span style="font-size: large;">! Et chacun exploite une idée forte pour éviter de ralentir dans les manœuvres ou les changements de vent, et reprendre rapidement de la vitesse. </span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 23px;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: x-large;">Britannia 2</span><o:p></o:p></b></p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Retour sur le premier <i>Britannia</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Celui-ci tenait presque d’un semi-remorque, avec un avant à casquette et des flans arrière qui pouvaient participer à la propulsion par vent de travers. Une autre trouvaille, plus intéressante, avait consisté à creuser un tunnel au centre, de façon à augmenter la surface de la partie basse de la grand-voile. De ce fait, le support du mât se trouvait rehaussé sur une console. En effet, la jauge prévoit que le pied de mât doit être au moins à 1,50 m au-dessus de la flottaison de mesure de jauge, à la même hauteur que celle du livet. La jauge définit également la position longitudinale du pied de mât. Étonnantes, d’ailleurs, ces jauges, où les caractéristiques ne sont pas nommées. On parle de ligne ou de plan de référence, mais jamais de «<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span>longueur de coque<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span>» ou de «<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span>franc-bord<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span>». En descendant la partie centrale du pont, il est possible de gagner plus de deux mètres carrés de voilure. Cette solution présente néanmoins quelques inconvénients. Ainsi, ce voilier remportait le prix du plus grand développé de coque et, en général, ce n’est pas le but. Au point de vue aérodynamique, la solution semi-remorque n’est pas la panacée. La coque, très large sur l’arrière, avec une carène assez ronde colle avant le décollage et tape lors des amerrissages. Très vite, il est apparu évident d’ajouter une arête centrale pour adoucir la retombée de la coque dans l’eau.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"> <a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WTzT9ooZ1FU/YBfFjYjfLwI/AAAAAAAAKBw/9jI-aBvYARECuQzLpZ8B44UFH9v5kQLcwCLcBGAsYHQ/s792/Britannia%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="792" data-original-width="567" height="541" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WTzT9ooZ1FU/YBfFjYjfLwI/AAAAAAAAKBw/9jI-aBvYARECuQzLpZ8B44UFH9v5kQLcwCLcBGAsYHQ/w388-h541/Britannia%2B2.png" width="388" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 23px;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 23px;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Pour le second voilier, <i>Britannia 2</i>, le design team a revu entièrement sa copie. Exit, le couloir de vent. Place à une quille rapportée importante, à fond plat, qui débute sous le bout-dehors, s’élargit rapidement pour se terminer, assez profond, en pointe, en avant du safran. La coque proprement dite est doublée d’une seconde coque, plus étroite, qui commence en avant des foils pour mourir sur l’arrière. Elle est destinée aux changements d’assiette. En fait, le voilier se compose de trois coques superposées. <i>Britannia 2</i> se cambre en perdant de la hauteur. Cela permet d’éviter que la carène subisse une augmentation violente de surface mouillée.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-byc_GjOv66E/YBfFScszNAI/AAAAAAAAKBo/oZnMgvNskK8kcK7epgGpa-Ya_Qsus_bywCLcBGAsYHQ/s791/Britannia%2B2%2BLines.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="567" data-original-width="791" height="453" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-byc_GjOv66E/YBfFScszNAI/AAAAAAAAKBo/oZnMgvNskK8kcK7epgGpa-Ya_Qsus_bywCLcBGAsYHQ/w634-h453/Britannia%2B2%2BLines.png" width="634" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Comme l’ont constaté tous les concurrents, l’AC75 n’a pas besoin de largeur à la flottaison à l’arrêt. Les bras et les foils font office de stabilisateurs. C’est une notion qui avait été peu prise en compte dans la première génération, mais que tous ont intégrée depuis. Un gros travail d’aérodynamique a été entrepris, pour une bonne pénétration dans l’air. Cependant, la priorité semble avoir été donnée à un meilleur passage des embruns, avec un livet plongeant bien en dessous du bout-dehors. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">La forme de l’étrave de <i>Britannia 2 </i>semble<i> </i>générer moins de portance que ses concurrents, notamment dans les petits airs, au moment de se hisser sur ses foils. Obligés d’augmenter l’angle des volets de foils, les Anglais perdent de la vitesse, particulièrement dans les virements de bord. Pour faire voler cet ensemble, de larges foils ont été retenus, avec dans un premier temps des ailes «<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span>à la Stuka<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span>», favorisant l’autostabilité, puis de larges ailes en V, avec un becquet aux extrémités. Le lest est placé dans la partie centrale des ailes, sans former de protubérance. Des options délicates mais qui ont été parfaitement ajustées par une organisation remarquable et une mise au point qui n’a cessé de progresser.</span><span style="color: #ff6600;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: x-large;">Patriot</span><o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">La première version de l’AC75 du défi new-yorkais avait privilégié la question «<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span>aérodynamisme.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span>» Résultat : un gros savon usé pour passer les limites de la jauge dans une forme offrant une moindre résistance. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><o:p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Lorsque certains découvrirent que les prochains monocoques de la Cup voleraient, ils pensèrent que, pour ce faire, seuls les foils seraient déterminants.

Il n’y a pas un seul endroit où la coque ou la carène serait plan. Toutes les surfaces sont arrondies à souhait. Les sections avant sont en V très ouvert, créant une forme propice à la portance dès le début des accélérations. La quille — fine — commence sous le bout-dehors et plonge presque rectiligne jusqu’aux bras des foils. Puis elle remonte sous la carène, au quart arrière. Le pont est légèrement creusé pour un gain de surface de voilure, favoriser l’accélération du vent dans la partie basse des voiles et augmenter l’effet de plaque en diminuant sa pente. De plus, cela permet de descendre le centre de gravité.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><o:p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Les AC75 ont tendance à basculer sur l’avant lors des virements de bord, en perdant de la vitesse, passant de 40 nœuds à 30 nœuds, voire 25 nœuds si la coque touche l’eau, et à 18 quand elle s’enfonce un peu plus.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><o:p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_JNO7Xzs9L0/YBfHH2O9JbI/AAAAAAAAKCI/1GLCY_vlre0PDyDelgfGoOQk-Ez6A36NgCLcBGAsYHQ/s793/Patriot%2BLines.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="565" data-original-width="793" height="433" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_JNO7Xzs9L0/YBfHH2O9JbI/AAAAAAAAKCI/1GLCY_vlre0PDyDelgfGoOQk-Ez6A36NgCLcBGAsYHQ/w609-h433/Patriot%2BLines.png" width="609" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Sur les trois vues du plan de forme, la coque est représentée en position de jauge du bateau, c’est-à-dire à l’arrêt. Dans cette position, le mât est incliné de 5 degrés sur l’arrière. Or, en vol, l’assiette longitudinale change et les voiliers s’inclinent sur l’avant, en général d’environ 1,5 degré. Il arrive que l’angle atteigne 5 degrés, mais cela ne dure pas. Seul <i>Luna Rossa 2</i> bascule un peu moins. En fait, le voilier est dans son assiette lorsque les bandes de repères sur les voiles sont horizontales. Par contre, tous les plans de voilure sont représentés dans la position de vol maximum. Mais cette différence de représentation n’est pas un problème pour les designers qui travaillent uniquement sur programme informatique.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Sur les lignes d’eau de <i>Patriot</i> (voir la vue en plan), on distingue bien l’étroitesse de la flottaison, donc sa finesse, avec des entrées d’eau particulièrement pincées. Les foils sont en large V, fins, avec un obus au centre et deux petits becquets rabattus à chaque extrémité. Au top dès les premiers essais, c’était sans compter les progrès obtenus par les autres équipes.</span><span style="color: #ff6600;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: x-large;">Luna Rossa 2</span><o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Dès le départ, les Italiens avaient opté pour une quille longue et une silhouette symétrique, le point de jauge de franc-bord culminant au pied du mât.

Les lignes d’eau avant sont plus pincées. Les foils restent en V inversé, d’assez grande surface, et le lest est intégré aux bras et aux foils, qui sont équipés de becquets en bout d’aile, avec un bord de fuite presque rectiligne. La grand-voile double est maintenue par des lattes, sans bôme à son pied. On sait que ces winglets diminuent les tourbillons d’air ou d’eau aux extrémités. Sur les avions de ligne, le gain de carburant est de l’ordre de 3,5 %. Avec un concept relativement classique, <i>Luna Rossa</i> a consacré son énergie sur une optimisation de son parti pris et en a apprécié les résultats.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: x-large;">Te Rehutai</span><o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Le parti du premier voilier de la défense, <i>Te Aihe</i>, nous avait surpris : étrave de multicoque inversée, coque canoë sous une coque de TP52 allégé, foils en aile larges, sans bulbe.

Une large galette sur l’avant, aux bords arrondis, une quille qui débute dans l’axe du bout-dehors, s’évasant, jusqu’à l’horizontale, alors qu’une vraie quille, arrondie, vient se coller dessous pour mourir au tableau arrière en forme de moule à gâteau inversé. Cela met en évidence les deux fonctions de la coque : maîtriser le vent au niveau du pont et, pour la carène, gérer les changements d’assiette et de hauteur de la coque. On peut ajouter également que le problème aérodynamique est primordial, et que la forme de l’étrave et de l’ensemble de l’avant peut jouer un rôle important dans sa capacité à s’élever dans l’air. Ces formes seraient encore simples sur <i>Te Rehutai</i> si sur le pont, le canal ne débutait pas si tôt, dès le point d’amure du Solent — jauge oblige —, de sorte que le support officiel du mât est supporté par un pylône de 60 centimètres de haut. De ce fait, la surface du foc et de la grand-voile se trouve augmentée, et la pente de la plaque est diminuée. En dessous, la carène plate s’évase sur l’arrière pour terminer en un V très ouvert au tableau arrière. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><o:p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vkhtNdOlVqI/YBfImo_QcvI/AAAAAAAAKCs/SQNBN-6hYUMUDrOu7p16yEt9mim8R0_eQCLcBGAsYHQ/s793/Te%2BRehutai%2BLines.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="569" data-original-width="793" height="432" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vkhtNdOlVqI/YBfImo_QcvI/AAAAAAAAKCs/SQNBN-6hYUMUDrOu7p16yEt9mim8R0_eQCLcBGAsYHQ/w601-h432/Te%2BRehutai%2BLines.png" width="601" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Ce qui est sûr, c’est que tous les ingrédients qui paraissaient donner un avantage sur les premiers bateaux mis à l’eau se sont retrouvés sur cet engin, dont les formes sont pour le moins innovantes. Comme sur <i>Britannia 2</i>, deux barres horizontales en V, en tête de mât, servent au réglage de l’ouverture de la grand-voile. Les bras des foils présentent une excroissance sur l’arrière, avant la partie laissée libre à chaque concurrent, ce qui augmente la flottabilité des bras et donc la stabilité du voilier. Les foils ont un bulbe proéminent, plat, avec des ailes plates, fines et en forme de hachoir, avec winglets.

Pourtant, Sam Manuard n’est pas du genre à vouloir faire un esclandre. Autodidacte, il aime son métier, et apprécie tout autant la conception, la construction que la navigation. Ses années Mini l’ont entraîné à la création dans une jauge très libre, et le milieu de la Class40 l’a conforté. Quatorze ans que Sam se fait plaisir. Le passage à l’IMOCA est le résultat de ses succès. Sam ne s’est pas démonté, il a visionné pendant des heures des vidéos d’IMOCA dans la mer formée, jusqu’à découvrir la forme qui pourrait passer sans tant de chocs et d’embruns. La recherche de vitesse pure n’est pas le but, si le voilier se plante régulièrement dans la vague. Résultat, un cigare, qui compte sur ses foils pour la raideur…</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm;"><b><span style="color: #800180; font-size: x-large;">Juan Kouyoumdjian, Corum L’Epargne</span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm;"><o:p> </o:p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 4px; position: relative;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NQs9j3vSsYU/X6rOytOvoWI/AAAAAAAAJgQ/JpKfloqQ-NsThXK6BnjSlqdEvNYZKZzawCLcBGAsYHQ/s543/3-Corum%2BNicolas%2BTroussel.png" imageanchor="1" style="color: #00336c; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="543" data-original-width="379" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NQs9j3vSsYU/X6rOytOvoWI/AAAAAAAAJgQ/JpKfloqQ-NsThXK6BnjSlqdEvNYZKZzawCLcBGAsYHQ/w446-h640/3-Corum%2BNicolas%2BTroussel.png" style="border: none; position: relative;" width="446" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 11.880000114440918px; text-align: center;">©François Chevalier 2020</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="color: #2b2b2b; font-size: 14.850000381469727px;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Corum Nicolas Troussel</span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 4px; position: relative;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QWAADK_Cvuo/X6rO8sE9vEI/AAAAAAAAJgU/18QqMfBaaRIbUkqMac8Ph1Hl8bWT_4FbACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/4-Corum%2B2020%2BLines.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #00336c; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1450" data-original-width="2048" height="454" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QWAADK_Cvuo/X6rO8sE9vEI/AAAAAAAAJgU/18QqMfBaaRIbUkqMac8Ph1Hl8bWT_4FbACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h454/4-Corum%2B2020%2BLines.jpeg" style="border: none; position: relative;" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 11.880000114440918px; text-align: center;">©François Chevalier 2020</td></tr></tbody></table><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Corum 2020 Lines</b></span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Times; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Juan K adore trouver le trou de la jauge, cela le rend heureux<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span>! Mais cette jauge est finalement assez tordue… Concoctée par les coureurs et les architectes qui gagnent, elle n’a pas arrêté d’évoluer, pour éviter les excès et garantir un minimum de sécurité, tout en se souciant à limiter les coûts. Le voile de quille et le mât sont maintenant standard, et les épreuves de retournement, avec les mesures de moment de redressement aux petits angles, obligent les concepteurs à modérer leurs envies. Juan a cherché, tortillé les calculs, tenté l’impossible. Finalement, il a dessiné des formes peu probables pour assurer son amour de puissance. En créant un volume important sur les flancs, il détourne le problème et réussit à faire léger et raide, les foils feront le reste…</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times;

Vincent, lui, se colle à la course. Il est parti à Vannes il y a bien longtemps pour profiter du bord de mer, le Bassin de l’Arsenal ne l’inspirait pas. Mais la course l’a rattrapé, et il faut sans cesse gagner<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span>! Hugo Boss est le seul plan quelque peu caricaturé, pour mieux illustrer les différences, en réalité, il est légèrement plus arrondi, Vincent le remarque, mais admet que c’est le parti architectural. L’ouverture latérale des fonds est faite pour glisser, pour éviter de taper. Du coup, la flottaison est étroite, peu de surface mouillée dans le petit temps, peu probable, dans un tour du monde. Il faut dire que le client connaît la route, et marchera pour vaincre…</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b;

Il en avait bien besoin… Inventeur de l’AC75 et de son concept, un monocoque à foils, sans quille, dont le lest est dans les foils, il bosse pour la défense de la Coupe. D’habitude, pour les IMOCA, il donnait son avis chez VPLP, et l’équipe gagnait tout ce qu’elle voulait. Pour Apivia, Guillaume est parti d’une feuille blanche. Avec son ami Benjamin Muyl, ils ont fait le tour des contraintes, connues et mesurées par les fibres optiques, et se sont basés sur la résistance du mât pour évaluer les limites de moment de redressement du voilier, en cherchant à diminuer le lest et le poids du bateau. Démarche originale, mais logique, où la carène doit être parfaite à des petits angles de gîte, en effleurant les vagues…</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;"><b>Autre réalisation : LinkedOut</b></span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 4px; position: relative;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XuLKQfnevUY/X6rQmQQANcI/AAAAAAAAJhQ/IPv3GWB6ih4HDy3AX1RM1D9ovJzoXJaJQCLcBGAsYHQ/12-LinkedOut%2BThomas%2BRuyant.png" style="color: #00336c; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-decoration: none;"><img data-original-height="543" data-original-width="376" height="640" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XuLKQfnevUY/X6rQmQQANcI/AAAAAAAAJhQ/IPv3GWB6ih4HDy3AX1RM1D9ovJzoXJaJQCLcBGAsYHQ/w443-h640/12-LinkedOut%2BThomas%2BRuyant.png" style="border: none; position: relative;" width="443" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 11.880000114440918px; text-align: center;">©François Chevalier 2020</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="color: #2b2b2b; font-size: 14.850000381469727px;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">LinkedOut Thomas Ruyant</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.850000381469727px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p></div>Jacqueshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12322121318690860646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618098998957554284.post-10195382692477463652020-11-10T19:14:00.000+01:002020-11-10T19:20:05.781+01:00VENDEE GLOBE CHALLENGE 2020-2021 - YACHT DESIGN<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: x-large;">Four Designers for Eight New Yachts</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: x-large;">Eight new IMOCA, four architects, silhouettes that look alike, but for the sections, there’s nothing similar!

Nevertheless, Sam Manuard isn’t the kind of person to make a controversy. As an autodidact, he loves his job and design, building and sailing as much as he does. His Mini years led him to create in a very free rule, and the Class40 environment granted him confidence. Fourteen years that Sam is enjoying himself. The switch to IMOCA is the outcome of his successes. Sam didn’t give up, he watched IMOCA videos for hours in the rough sea, until he discovered the shape that could sail through without so many crashes and sprays. The quest for pure speed isn’t the goal if the boat regularly plunges into the wave.

The fin keel and the mast are now standard, and the rollover tests, with the righting moment at small angles, are pushing the designers to temper their desires. Juan searched, tweaked the models, tried the impossible. Sometime, he developed unlikely shapes to cement his love of sturdiness. By creating a significant volume on the sides, he diverts the concern and manages to do light and rigid, the foils will do the job…</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><b><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Another creation: Arkea Paprec</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AOenthyBjXE/X6rPN0p0VjI/AAAAAAAAJgg/D0qClyOl7RQ62lGPrl8TM6t0WugR1BchwCLcBGAsYHQ/s543/5-Arkea%2BPaprec%2BSe%25CC%2581bastien%2BSimon.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="543" data-original-width="379" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AOenthyBjXE/X6rPN0p0VjI/AAAAAAAAJgg/D0qClyOl7RQ62lGPrl8TM6t0WugR1BchwCLcBGAsYHQ/w446-h640/5-Arkea%2BPaprec%2BSe%25CC%2581bastien%2BSimon.png" width="446" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">©François Chevalier 2020</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Arkea Paprec Sébastien Simon</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #800180; font-size: x-large;"><b>VPLP, Hugo Boss</b></span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q2HzV1LP1AM/X6rPYikBz-I/AAAAAAAAJgk/nvO7rNWW5SEf84ihUYMbXxB_fgomLwGugCLcBGAsYHQ/s544/6-Hugo%2BBoss%2BAlex%2BThomson.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="544" data-original-width="377" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q2HzV1LP1AM/X6rPYikBz-I/AAAAAAAAJgk/nvO7rNWW5SEf84ihUYMbXxB_fgomLwGugCLcBGAsYHQ/w444-h640/6-Hugo%2BBoss%2BAlex%2BThomson.png" width="444" /></a></span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Hugo Boss Alex Thomson</b></span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I9YB5A0kPp4/X6rPmxKACRI/AAAAAAAAJgo/V-VQY6oy8acTMs74xgceCXZXe0-J9BuigCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/7-Hugo%2BBoss%2B20%2BLines.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1415" data-original-width="2048" height="442" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I9YB5A0kPp4/X6rPmxKACRI/AAAAAAAAJgo/V-VQY6oy8acTMs74xgceCXZXe0-J9BuigCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h442/7-Hugo%2BBoss%2B20%2BLines.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">©François Chevalier 2020</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Hugo Boss Lines</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">At VPLP, Marc (Van Peteghem) is in charge of the current business, cruise series and future projects, sailing cargoes and other vessels of the days to come. Vincent (Lauriot Prévost), for his part, focuses on racing. He left for Vannes a long time ago to enjoy the seaside, the Port de l’Arsenal (Paris) didn’t inspire him. But the fight has overtaken him, and you always have to win! Hugo Boss is the only plan somewhat caricatured, to better illustrate the differences; in truth, it’s rather more curved, Vincent notices it, yet admits that it’s the architectural side. The lateral back opening is designed to slide, to avoid hitting. As a result, the waterline is narrow, little wetted surface in light weather, improbable, in a round-the-world race. It must be said that the skipper is familiar with the way, and will sail to win…</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times;

Inventor of the AC75 and its concept, a hydrofoil monohull, without keel, with ballast in the foils, he works for the Cup defense. Usually, for the IMOCA, he gave his opinion at VPLP, and the team won everything it wanted. For Apivia, Guillaume started from a blank sheet of paper. With his friend Benjamin Muyl, they went around the constraints, known and measured by the optical fibers, and based themselves on the mast’s resistance to evaluate the limits of the boat’s righting moment, trying to reduce its ballast and weight. An original, but logical process, where the hull has to be perfect at small angles of heels, by skimming the waves…</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times;
