Vendée-Arctique-Les Sables: Beyou finds it "hard" on the nerves

2020-07-13T08:12:09.079Z


The skipper of the Charal monohull is tired of seeing the other skippers come back from behind. And says it.


Ranked second, 1.7 miles behind Charlie Dalin (Apivia) in the 6 pm classification, Jérémie Beyou (Charal) made no secret of the fact that the end of Vendée-Arctique-Les Sables was nerve-wracking. “It's hard because every time I am in front, the wind eases. I necessarily stop and the others take the opportunity to change direction behind me and I get overtaken. Last night, it was downright general regrouping. On my computer screen, we were 10 agglutinated boats. So the fight is nice, that's for sure, but I'm afraid that it won't do much for the conditions we're going to have for the Gallimard brand which is placed right on the backbone (high pressure protuberance) "

“The habits of confinement behind the TV and on the sofa are changing”

And the favorite of the next Vendée Gobe to add a layer: "All of this is the principle of a sailing race: we know that anything can happen and that everything can be called into question, but there at each times, it starts all over again. It is very characteristic of this race. The problem is that the buoy is on a windless area, on the last stretch. The latter will take a more direct route and will come back to us. In the conditions we have right now - cross wind - we cannot sleep. The wind is very changeable with a sea from the front, not pleasant at all. Don't let go for even 10 minutes. You have to move the sails constantly, adjust the balance of the boat. The race is really intense. It clears up ideas! The habits of confinement behind the TV and on the sofa are changing. ”

The passage of the first boats to this second mark of course located 400 miles from the arrival of Les Sables d'Olonne is scheduled for this Monday morning early if the very light wind forecast allows. And the final arrival is announced in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday. This Sunday 700 miles from goal, the suspense remains whole since Thomas Ruyant (LinkedOut), the third thief in the lead when passing the first way near Iceland and the Arctic is only 18 miles behind Dalin. Quite clever whoever would be able to announce the winner right now. And little careful whoever bet his pay ...
