It’s
probably the best Multi 50 line up yet lined up in Le Havre, primed and ready to
take on the 11th edition of the Transat Jacques Vabre. The level of boat design
and preparation is higher than ever ready to be driven by some of the most
experienced and successful sailors in the fleet, means that this will be one of
the most competitive classes.
The
partnerships are an interesting mix, some of more recently forged duos match a
very experienced co-skipper who runs the programme and has optimised the boat,
along with a successful co-skipper coming in from another ocean racing
discipline, such as Kito de Pavant and double Solitaire du Figaro winner Yann
Eliès. But this race, two handed, is a human challenge as well as a sporting
endeavour, often testing the strength and efficiency of the partnership as much
as it does the boat itself.
