Malizia in particular, could be a real threat in heavy weather in the south on the next leg.<\/p>\n<p>Back in Alicante at the start, there was much discussion about who might win this contest. 11th Hour Racing Team were regarded by many as the favourites, because of their dedicated approach to this event, but Escoffier and Meilhat were seen by many observers as being genuine threats \u2013 and so it is proving.<\/p>\n<p>With five more legs to come, including a transatlantic, we still have no idea who is going to win and it was interesting that Sam Goodchild, a key player on Holcim-PRB, was not talking their chances up when they reached the pontoon at Cape Town\u2019s V&amp;A Waterfront.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHonestly, it was a bit of luck,\u201d<\/em>said the British skipper who will soon begin his first Vend\u00e9e Globe campaign.\u00a0<em>\u201cI\u2019m not going to go on and on about \u2018we\u2019re talented, we won,\u2019 because for the last 24 hours, the weather conditions were not at all as expected. I think everyone has been trying like hell to get in front, and Biotherm went in front, 11th Hour Racing Team did last night, and even Team Malizia, who seemed to be very strong today\u2026but we were at the front at the end.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is a modest analysis, but it underlines how tight this small fleet is. Goodchild said there is very little to choose between the boats as the crews push them harder and match each other\u2019s improvements.\u00a0<em>\u201cWe were left behind for a little while, but for a good while, we were all about the same speed,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said.\u00a0<em>\u201cIt was quite impressive and it shows that people are getting to know the IMOCA boat better and better \u2013 how to push it \u2013 and I think we are learning a lot. All the teams here are learning, the crew members, and in the Southern Ocean, which is great.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>On second-placed Biotherm, the feeling of achievement was palpable. This crew were sailing the most unprepared boat in the race in Leg 1 and had to settle for fourth place in Mindelo, so to move up to runner-up this time is a big confidence-builder.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7702\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guillaumeverdier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/QPTR06-2-1030x687.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1030\" height=\"687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guillaumeverdier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/QPTR06-2-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.guillaumeverdier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/QPTR06-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.guillaumeverdier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/QPTR06-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.guillaumeverdier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/QPTR06-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Damien Seguin was all smiles when he arrived in South Africa. <em>\u201cSuper happy,\u201d<\/em>was his summary when asked how he was feeling.\u00a0<em>\u201cIt\u2019s always nice to finish stages and on top of that, a nice podium, a nice second place. We showed that we know how to use the boat and that we should be taken seriously for the next stages. And then we have had this great welcome at the finish, it\u2019s great.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Seguin described a long voyage \u2013 three days longer than predicted \u2013 that tested the stamina of everyone on board.\u00a0<em>\u201cWe did a big lap,\u201d he said. \u201cWe struggled in the Doldrums, then went round the St Helena High to finally finish as far south as we could in the leg \u2013 that is to say at 47 South, at the edge of the ice zone. We had all the temperatures and we experienced all the emotions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And Seguin spoke about a tense final 24 hours, which finished with Meilhat\u2019s crew out-manoeuvring M\u00e3lama within sight of the finish line.\u00a0<em>\u201cWe got back into the match thanks to the weather,\u201d<\/em>he summarised.\u00a0<em>\u201cWe knew that it was going to hit us from the front, so we came back. We had a superb last night, we managed to get through in front. And then the end was worse than we thought \u2013 it was interminable and we wondered which day we would arrive, which month sometimes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And Seguin spoke too about the enjoyment he experienced racing an IMOCA with a full crew.\u00a0<em>\u201cWe saw that the boat had potential and I think we had fun sailing her together, despite everything. We managed to maintain a good atmosphere on board between us and that\u2019s very important,\u201d<\/em>he said.<\/p>\n<p>On M\u00e3lama, third place was hard to take at the end of a leg Enright\u2019s crew knew they could have won. Swiss sailor Justine Mettraux said this finish was reminiscent of Volvo Ocean Race finishes in the past, not least in the last race when eventual winners Dongfeng Race Team (of which she was a part) were overtaken by three boats in the final miles into Newport, Rhode Island.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cFor sure this has happened before,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said Mettraux,\u00a0<em>\u201cbut that\u2019s part of the game, that\u2019s part of our sport. Sometimes it is nice for you and sometimes it is nice for others.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mettraux reckoned they were unlucky with wind conditions in the final miles, but she also said that tactically the crew could have done better.\u00a0<em>\u201cWhen we were leading the pack, we were thinking we could just go straight to Cape Town and we were ahead enough to be able to do it and finally it didn\u2019t happen like this. Maybe we should have controlled our opponents a bit more, maybe we didn\u2019t think that would happen,\u201d<\/em>she said.<\/p>\n<p>Just like Goodchild, Mettraux enjoyed the IMOCA performance school element in this race.\u00a0<em>\u201cFor sure, it is not often that sailing is this close \u2013 that you feel like you\u2019re alongside other boats after 17 days of racing, so that\u2019s really nice,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0she said.\u00a0<em>\u201cI think we all learned a lot more on how to push the boat and how to find the speed. When you have boats around you, you always need to improve, so that has been really interesting for us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We asked about the condition of M\u00e3lama after this long Atlantic test. Mettraux says the boat, rig and sails are in excellent shape ahead of Leg 3.\u00a0<em>\u201cThere is nothing major,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0she said.\u00a0<em>\u201cA lot of small things \u2013 like we pushed on the boat quite hard on this leg, on the downwind when it was windy \u2013 but nothing special.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With this leg all but done, the focus is quickly shifting to Leg 3 and Mettraux is looking forward to it.\u00a0<em>\u201cThe results in this race are close, we see people go well at different moments, so I think it is going to be interesting,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0she said.\u00a0<em>\u201cThere is still a lot to play for. The next leg is the big southern ocean leg which counts for double points, so it will have a big impact on the race, so there is still a lot to happen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Goodchild knows the boats will be on the limit during the 13,750-mile marathon to Brazil.\u00a0<em>\u201cEveryone has little technical problems, but fortunately we are all here in South Africa,\u201d he said. \u201cI hope that on the next leg, everyone will make it to the end too. Everywhere, we want the best boat, the lightest, the strongest, the fastest, and sometimes we go a bit too far. But it\u2019s very reassuring that we\u2019ve only had small problems and I can\u2019t wait for the next stage.<\/em><em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoca.org\/en\/news\/news\/escoffier-makes-it-two-wins-in-a-row-as-the-ocean-race-shapes-up-to-be-something-really-special\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@Imoca.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The spectacular finish of Leg 2 in The Ocean Race demonstrates that you don\u2019t need more than five boats to make a classic, and this one is already showing signs of being just that.After nearly 18 days at sea, it was Kevin Escoffier and the crew of Team Holcim-PRB who pulled out all the stops [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7291,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[179,178],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-en_news","category-en_newscast"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
