My first experience in solo sailing is 3 days and a half on the Drheam Cup. We got some interesting data on the settings. I started sailing single-handed quite late to get a good feel for the boat, which is fairly new. Learning with him in a hurry has saved me a lot of time and avoided mistakes. I benefit from Lalou's years of experience in multihulls.
#MOST EXTREME RACE PRO#
With the development of the Pro Sailing Tour, we split our cockpit into two removable parts for the crew configuration, while keeping the comfort and safety for single-handed sailing and being able to be on constant watch. We built the boat with the Route du Rhum in mind, with a protected cockpit. How did you prepare yourself and the boat for the solo navigation? Quentin Vlamynck on his Ocean Fifty Arkema © Vincent Olivaud / Arkema Sport We're going to make the most of these 4 years with a great experience, whatever the result. It's been a long project that has allowed us to show that we can do great things, using meaningful materials provided by our sponsor Arkema. I'm excited and proud to have been involved in the design and construction of a new boat, and to be sailing it. We're going to try to do it right, even though the Ocean Fifty is not the easiest class. This will be your first solo experience in a multihull transatlantic race, how do you feel about it? Especially in the last few weeks on the Drheam Cup. We started this project four years ago with Arkema, and it's an important race. It's the most extreme race on our calendar. The Route du Rhum is the most mythical race in the Ocean Fifty class. This race is at the Pinnacle of our events tree, its covered in Ridges and its very Extreme.This is your first Route du Rhum. The Pinnacle Ridge Extreme race is all of what it suggests, very extreme.Įxpect long runnable and classic ascents through the heart of the Glenridding Mines, technical single tracks to keep you smiling all your way around the course, 5 graded scrambles on route, scree ridden descents, knife edge ridge-lines, a huge ascent profile for the distance covered, medium in distance and completely extreme in its nature. Not running/walking to the summit of a mountain over scrambling/rocky type ground

Do not think about entry unless you possess excellent rock climbing skills. This classic distance ' extreme sky race' is one to be reckoned with.
