SeaSailSurfer of October 2010 : Alex Caizergues

On said kitesurfing is not sailing. Other said the Luderitz Speed Challenge’ spot is not deep enough. But the channel in Namibia is a fixed place with 500 meters marks and is more than 80 cm deep. When kitesurfers and windsurfers sail there, there are truly in the spirit of the original Weymouth and Brest Speed Weekds. Their records are not (…)

Orange in the anteroom of the trades...

Another ridge crossed. One more. Certainly not the last on the way to Ushant. Orange is beating slowly through a sea still choppy from the fury of the low. Peyron is all smiles. He managed to miss the storm by a few miles. Now they must find a way out of the calms of the high. And it’s going to be to the tune of multiple sail changes, a case of (…)

Orange dans l’antichambre de l’alizé...

Nouveau franchissement de dorsale. Un de plus. Certainement pas le dernier sur la route d’Ouessant. Orange navigue au près, à petite vitesse dans une mer encore agitée par le fracas de la dépression. Peyron sourit. A quelques milles près, son grand catamaran a su éviter le coup de vent. Il faut à présent s’extraire des calmes de l’anticyclone. (…)

A 424 milles de l’arrivée, Hervé Laurent et Rodolphe Jacq ont pris le commandement de la flotte en début de nuit vendredi. Plus à terre que Ronan Guérin et Ronan Cointo, plus au sud que toute la flotte, le tandem de Colbert Orco bénéficie de 15 noeuds de vent portant. Pendant ce temps les autres sont, soit au près, soit dans le petit temps.

Orange looks for the escalator to the equator

It can’t stay in place. It’s stretching from east to west, compressing a little in the centre, trying to escape to the south and is today barring the Atlantic over a width of almost 4,800 nautical miles... What is it ? It’s the 1020 hPa high-pressure system in which the maxi-cat Orange currently finds herself. While the soft belly of the high (…)

La tête dans les nuages, l’expérience paie

Comme souvent, le passage du cap Finisterre a créé une hiérarchie au sein de la flotte qui participe à cette première étape de la Transat AG2R. Le bon choix cette année était, pour le moment, de venir chercher la bordure Est de la dorsale anticyclonique comme l’ont fait Guérin & Cointo, Caso & Vallancien et Laurent & Jacq.

Qui cela ? L’anticyclone de 1020 hPa où se trouve actuellement le maxi-catamaran Orange. Si le ventre mou de la haute pression devrait être oublié (…)
