At the front of the Transat Jacques Vabre fleet, the two MOD70s continue their match race as they pass Madeira and approach the Canary Islands on a southwesterly heading. The duo onboard Oman Air-Musandam are better rested and have changed the configuration of the boat to a faster mode.
Damian Foxall (IRL) answered the phone onboard Oman Air-Musandam this morning while French skipper Sidney Gavignet was up on deck in 30 knots doing 24 knots of boat speed.
'We changed the configuration on the boat in the last six hours and are in a slightly faster mode now,' said Damian.

International C Class Catamaran Championship 2013, Paul Larsen writes of the battle to get the teams C Class catamaran to the starting line
An excellent article by Paul Larsen on the battle to get to the start line of the 2013 International C Class Catamaran Championship as part of the Invictus Team

A memorable event – the start is the biggest finish
Paul Larsen
Friday 08 November 2013
The 2013 ICCCC is now done and dusted and once again it proved to be a fascinating and memorable event. I'm not fully aware of what had transpired within the Invictus camp prior to our involvement this time but it was obvious that the team had taken on a lot (as they also had the responsibility of hosting the biggest C-class event in recent time) and that they were struggling. Getting a C-class catamaran ready for battle is a battle on its own so it was no doubt that running the event was going to be a huge distraction. "Struggling" is perhaps too soft a description for what confronted us when Helena and I drove up to Bristol on the 30th of August to see the state of affairs. We had had very little involvement prior to this but were curious to see how our old team were getting along. We wanted to get involved and actually I felt a little guilty for just waltzing up this late in the program. I soon lost that sensation.
A key delivery of major wing components had just arrived from overseas. They consisted of the flaps and the entire wing leading edge. We all decided that this would be a good time for us to arrive as we can be quite handy around the build side of things and finishing the details so the boat can actually go sailing. We walked into Dan Emuss' shed preparing to say hello to friends old and new and was greeted by a group of shocked and stunned people. I looked to my left at what was on the table and my mind raced to piece the scene together. For one reason or another the components that the team were waiting for had arrived in a form that was completely useless to us. The design and construction had changed so much that we simply had to write it off. There was now only three weeks to go until the actual race started. The wing build was already way behind schedule and now it had been dealt a death blow. We had a main spar with the ribs bonded on and that was it. No flaps, no leading edge, no hinges, or control systems...and no tooling to make the flaps or leading edge... oh...and next to no money.

35th America's Cup, Protocol for the next America's Cup under discussion
From the following article on americascup.com
http://www.americascup.com/en/news/3/news/18556/forging-ahead-on-the-35th-americas-cup
With existing and potential America’s Cup teams working in the background to secure sailors, designers and shore crew for the 35th America’s Cup, efforts are also being made to forge the Rules for the next event.
The Protocol for the 35th America’s Cup must be agreed between the defender and the challenger of record and will detail the timing, location, format, type of boat and other rules for the event.
Russell Coutts, the CEO of ORACLE TEAM USA, has been working on all of the above.
“There are a lot of pieces to put together when it comes to translating the various ideas for the next America’s Cup into concrete rules,” Coutts said.
“The main pillars are the teams, the partners, the broadcasters and the venue and each of these influence the other.
“One aspect we’re working very hard on is cost reduction,” he continued. “If we can reduce costs, we will increase the number of the teams, which will have a positive impact on all aspects of the competition.”

Transat Jacques Vabre update, fleet takes a pounding MOD70's clear of the worst of the weather Multi50's taking the brunt of the conditions
From the following article on the Transat Jacques Vabre website:
http://www.transat-jacques-vabre.com/en/full-frontal-attack
For a few hours in particular today the middle of the Bay of Biscay will be an unforgiving section of the 5450 miles race course for the Transat Jacques Vabre race from Le Havre to Itajaí, Brasil.
The Multi 50’s were bearing the brunt of the passage of a low pressure trough which was producing violent squalls and big, messy seas. In fact the IMOCA Open 60’s go slightly better in these conditions, while the two MOD70’s are well clear of the worst of the weather and making good speeds after Cape Finisterre and now off the Iberian peninsula.
The poor conditions will last until Sunday for the Multi50s and IMOCA Open 60s as this deep low pressure which has emanated from Newfoundland and is tracking quickly makes life very testing for the Multi50s especially. This is exacerbated by the wind shifts between SW and W with more than 30kts average and much more in the gusts, the crossed seas make it very bouncy and unpleasant for the multihulls.

Transat Jacques Vabre, Multi50 Maitre Jacques forced to retire after rough night with float damage now headed under own power to Corunna, Spain
From the following entry (in French) on the Maitre Jacques facebook page
and the rough bing translate below
Loïc Féquet and Loïc Escoffier are forced to retire. The front of their starboard float was torn off. Neither one nor the other is wounded, apart from a huge disappointment. They make road to Corunna.
After Exchange with their shore crew, the two Loïc have decided to join La Coruña, in Spain. They sail for now under one ORC at 6 knots: a navigation that allows them to not press the float damaged.
Loïc Féquet, skipper master Jacques: "we heard a large crash and seen that the float was ripped off at the front. '' This was done there right away or by the dint of banging all night, it is not known. We took a wave larger than the others, is that it was 'finished' work?
In any case, nobody is injured. We road towards Corunna. We at 6 knots with one ORC, is allowed to 'live' the boat, without forcing. There are still 2-3 m hollow, but with waves sometimes a little more fat. »
Franck-Yves Escoffier, loaded from the link on the ground with the crew: "it is a great pity, they had done a very nice entry in the Bay of Biscay, they had traced a beautiful, fluid trajectory. They were the first to have taken the West and they were very well placed to return to the forefront and lengthen the stride. They had done the hard, wind would move Northwest and the sea would subside...
But in a cross seas of 6 to 7 metres of cavity with a breaking, just 2 or 3 large waves that bump on the front of the float to make damage.
The choice of a Coruña is a good idea, they are not very far. The sea will calm down, they will find the right balance to preserve their boat and get down on their own. »
Team master Jacques is about 120 nautical miles (220 km) from the Spanish port, expected tomorrow, join the best in the morning, according to the weather conditions encountered.

Sodebo team examine recent weather window but remain on standby
From the following article (in French) on sodebo.fr/voile
and the rough bing translate below:
This is three weeks as the skipper of the maxi-trimaran SODEBO and its routing cell * analyze weather files waiting for a weather window that is conducive to the start of this new record attempt around the world solo and multihull. If Tuesday, routes suggested a small window for this Thursday, it quickly closed.
For the first time since October 18, date of commencement of stand-by for the record of the round the world single-handed, the lights went green, the space of a few hours. Indeed, routes allow to consider Tuesday morning from favorable conditions for a start Thursday, but this little window is closed as of Wednesday morning. Explanations of Jean-Luc Nélias, the maxi-trimaran Sodebo router: "models offered us interesting routes departing from Ushant on 7 November in the evening with a fairly direct route and a single jibe to take us to the equator in 168 hours (7 days). However, we were still pretty far from the ideal scenario because it is a start of night, in rough seas of 4 metres about which does not facilitate manoeuvres start in solitary configuration. Wednesday morning, the European model definitely closing the window with winds again South-West binding advance to the beating between Ushant and Cape Finisterre and thus torpedoing the average speed towards the equator. »
So, it's a new week of stand-by, which begins for the skipper of the maxi-trimaran. If nothing is looming for the weekend, routing cell especially monitors files that relate to the beginning of next week. « Today, there not exploitable window in the next 4 days. We observe however a change of pace from November 12 with the displacement of high pressure in the Northeast but nothing is less sure, things are moving very quickly. " " added Jean-Luc Nélias.

Transat Jacques Vabre, Fleet departs from Le Havre destination Itajai (Brazil)
From the following article on the Transat Jacques Vabre website:
http://www.transat-jacques-vabre.com/en/race
With Class 40 having their weather stop and the MOD 70’s likely to be quick enough to avoid the worst of the weather in the Bay of Biscay – the big multihull duo should be at Finisterre, or near enough, by the time the worst of the weather hits, it looks like the IMOCA Open 60 fleet and the Multi 50’s which might bear the brunt of the big winds and seas which are forecast to build almost as soon as they clear Ushant.
First for them is the long, tactical beat out of the Channel, balancing the options of more breeze in the north against a more favourable shift in wind direction arriving first from the south. The advantage is likely to increase for the leaders and so there is considerable pressure to push as hard as possible to start with, but in the knowledge that maximum energies will be needed across the Bay of Biscay. In the very early stages it was the established favourites, Macif, sailed by Michel Desjoyeaux and Francois Gabart – who hold three Vendée Globe wins between them – who lead from the first mark, three miles from the start line, ahead of Marc Guillemot and Pascal Bidégorry.
