THE ROUTE DU RHUM, A MULTIPLE STAKES RACE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 12th edition of the\u00a0Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe<\/a>\u00a0gets underway on 6 November with a record\u00a0138 solo skippers<\/a>\u00a0taking the starting line. Naval architecture firm\u00a0VPLP Design<\/strong>, for whom the quadrennial solo transatlantic race is of huge importance, has designed\u00a0twenty-nine* of the competing boats<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

With a total of 138 solo competitors, 1.5\u00a0million spectators expected to visit Saint Malo, and 1,000 accredited journalists, the Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe is, every four years, one of the major sporting events. The Route du Rhum is\u00a0a massively influential sounding board<\/strong>\u00a0for all its stakeholders. \u201cThe event attracts enormous attention from the media. For us, it\u2019s a unique opportunity to present our boats to the general public, to the press, and to potential customers. The stakes being very high across the board,\u00a0we tend to put a little pressure on ourselves<\/strong>,\u201d says partner architect\u00a0Xavier Guilbaud<\/a>, who has worked notably on the Ultims\u00a0SVR Lazartigue<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Banque Populaire\u00a0XI<\/em>, both podium contenders for Pointe \u00e0 Pitre.<\/p>\n

Since 1990 and the victory of\u00a0Pierre\u00a01er,<\/em>\u00a0skippered by Florence Arthaud, VPLP Design has enjoyed\u00a0consistent success in the large multihull class<\/strong>\u00a0with victories for the ORMAs\u00a0Primagaz<\/em>\u00a0(Laurent Bourgnon, 1994 and 1998),\u00a0G\u00e9ant<\/em>\u00a0(Michel Desjoyeaux, 2002) and\u00a0Gitana\u00a011<\/em>\u00a0(Lionel Lemonchois, 2006), and then the same Ultim three times in a row, under the names of\u00a0Groupama\u00a03<\/em>\u00a0(Franck Cammas, 2010),\u00a0Banque Populaire\u00a0VII<\/em>\u00a0(Lo\u00efck Peyron) and\u00a0Idec Sport<\/em>\u00a0(Francis Joyon). So many multihulls designed by VPLP!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhen one of our boats comes in first at Pointe \u00e0 Pitre,\u00a0it\u2019s always a welcome endorsement for the team<\/strong>. Having a list of winners to your credit is always reassuring for the sponsors you\u2019re showing your designs to,\u201d says\u00a0Vincent Lauriot Pr\u00e9vost<\/a>, co-founder of VPLP Design. He also recalls the catastrophic 2002 edition when only three of the eighteen contending ORMAs managed to reach the finishing line. It was a very difficult experience (see below). \u201cEven though a VPLP designed boat came in first at Pointe \u00e0\u00a0Pitre [Michel Desjoyeaux\u2019s\u00a0G\u00e9ant<\/em>], we had to deal with a lot of questions without not necessarily having any answers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Increasing competition in the IMOCA class<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since then we have continued to see \u201cour\u201d boats\u00a0win in other classes<\/strong>, both in the\u00a0Ocean\u00a0Fifty<\/strong>\u00a0(2006 and 2014) and the\u00a0IMOCA<\/strong>\u00a0(2014 and 2018, designed in collaboration with Guillaume Verdier). Competition in the IMOCA category has intensified considerably in recent years. \u201cCompared to the multihulls, where we\u2019re usually two or three designers,\u00a0the competition has changed perceptibly<\/strong>,\u201d says Vincent Lauriot Pr\u00e9vost. \u201cNot necessarily in terms of numbers, but more in the sense of a single architect dominating the field. There have been the Finot-Conq years, followed by the Farr years, and then our successes with Guillaume. The best teams tended to work with the same firm of architects.\u00a0<\/em>Today the field is wide open and\u00a0the choice of architects has become more diverse<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quentin Lucet<\/a>, partner\u00a0architect, who worked on Boris Herrmann\u2019s latest\u00a0Malizia-Seaexplorer<\/em>, has this to say: \u201cIt\u2019s stimulating.\u00a0The more competitors you have, the more you ask yourself questions<\/strong>, the more you try to understand how the other architecture firms tackle the same issues. It\u2019s very interesting to observe that clearly we don\u2019t find the same solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

With seven of the thirty-eight\u00a0IMOCAs being brand new, will the 12th edition of the Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe provide some answers for the latest generation of this class? \u201cCertainly there\u2019s plenty of expectation riding on this class. We learned lessons from the last Vend\u00e9e Globe which we put to good use in the ongoing development of the design,\u201d says Quentin Lucet.\u00a0<\/em>\u201cNevertheless the main goal of these boats remains the Vend\u00e9e Globe. On the Route du Rhum we rarely see the conditions you get on the Vend\u00e9e Globe, especially the sea states, so\u00a0we won\u2019t necessarily have all the answers<\/strong>.\u201d Vincent Lauriot Pr\u00e9vost says: \u201cThe moment of truth will more likely be The Ocean Race.<\/strong>\u201d He references, of course, the round-the-world race starting next January which\u00a0Malizia-Seaexplorer<\/em>\u00a0will be competing in.<\/p>\n

Class40 Newcomer<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Ultim class, this Route du Rhum also has its fair share of unknowns. \u201cThe main thing is to know if we\u2019ve managed to make boats that the skipper can exploit, and to what degree,\u201d says Quentin Lucet. Xavier Guilbaud says: \u201cAbove all\u00a0it\u2019s the guy\u2019s capacity to drive the boat that counts<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/em>A boat that is better prepared and easier to use in terms of the deck plan, reducing physical effort and chafing, can make the difference.\u201d Vincent Lauriot Pr\u00e9vost, on the other hand, highlights\u00a0the question of skipper protection<\/strong>\u00a0and this has been a priority of the firm\u2019s recent designs. \u201cI believe that the least tired will surely have an advantage over the skippers who are more exposed to the elements. Fran\u00e7ois Gabart\u2019s boat has this advantage, as does\u00a0Koesio<\/em>, Erwan Le Roux\u2019s Ocean\u00a0Fifty.\u201d<\/p>\n

The performance of the newest Ocean\u00a0Fifty will be carefully scrutinized by the firm. \u201cIt\u2019s clear that there is a lot at stake for us in this class, because quite a few sailors are knocking at the door. Everyone will be looking at the results of the Route du Rhum with great interest, and\u00a0it could lead to one or two projects for us<\/strong>,\u201d says Xavier Guilbaud.<\/p>\n

The same goes for the Class40 too. VPLP is a newcomer to the class and our participation is modest with four boats to cross the starting line. \u201cWe\u2019re not there to defend a position; rather\u00a0we are trying to make a place for ourselves<\/strong>,\u201d says Vincent Lauriot Pr\u00e9vost. \u201cI don\u2019t see us among the favourites, even if I think that some of them could make a play for the top five.\u00a0<\/em>It\u2019s true that this Route du Rhum has the potential to influence the continuation of the project. It all depends on the skippers at the finishing line, their satisfaction and what they say about their boats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Look out for the verdict around mid-November!<\/p>\n

(*) Of these twenty-nine boats, ten IMOCAs were designed in collaboration with Guillaume Verdier.<\/em>\"<\/a><\/p>\n

VPLP AND THE ROUTE DU RHUM<\/strong><\/p>\n

1986:<\/strong>\u00a0First boats<\/strong>\u00a0designed by VPLP Design to take part in a solo transatlantic race, with\u00a0Poulain<\/em>, 23-metre trimaran skippered by Olivier de Kersauson, and\u00a0Calcialiment-Laiterie du Mont-Saint-Michel<\/em>, formerly\u00a0G\u00e9rard Lambert<\/em>\u00a0and the first boat to\u00a0be designed by the firm (1983), helmed by Olivier Moussy. Both boats are forced to retire from the race.<\/p>\n

8:<\/strong>\u00a0The number of\u00a0consecutive wins in the large trimaran class<\/strong>\u00a0for a boat designed by VPLP Design. After the inaugural success of\u00a0Pierre\u00a01er<\/em>\u00a0in 1990 (Florence Arthaud), came wins for the ORMAs\u00a0Primagaz<\/em>\u00a0(Laurent Bourgnon, 1994 and 1998),\u00a0G\u00e9ant<\/em>\u00a0(Michel Desjoyeaux, 2002) and\u00a0Gitana\u00a011<\/em>\u00a0(Lionel Lemonchois, 2006) and then the same Ultim three times in a row, under the names of\u00a0Groupama\u00a03<\/em>\u00a0(Franck Cammas, 2010),\u00a0Banque Populaire\u00a0VII<\/em>\u00a0(Lo\u00efck Peyron) and\u00a0Idec Sport<\/em>\u00a0(Francis Joyon).<\/p>\n

1998<\/strong>:\u00a0First big multihull hat trick\u00a0<\/strong>for the firm with the top three spots on the podium in the ORMA class going to winner Laurent Bourgnon (Primagaz<\/em>), runner-up Alain Gautier (Broc\u00e9liande<\/em>) and third place Franck Cammas (Groupama<\/em>).\u00a0Since then VPLP has scored two more: 2014 (Lo\u00efck Peyron\/Banque Populaire VII<\/em>, Yann Guichard\/Spindrift 2<\/em>\u00a0and S\u00e9bastien Josse\/Gitana XV<\/em>) and 2018 (Francis Joyon\/Idec Sport<\/em>, Fran\u00e7ois Gabart\/Macif<\/em>\u00a0and Thomas Coville\/Sodebo Ultim’<\/em>).<\/p>\n

2:<\/strong>\u00a0Number of VPLP Design victories in the\u00a050\u2019 multihull class<\/strong>, now Ocean\u00a0Fifty, with\u00a0Cr\u00eapes Whaou! 2<\/em>\u00a0in 2006 (Franck-Yves Escoffier) and\u00a0Fen\u00eatr\u00e9A-Cardinal<\/em>\u00a0(Erwan Le Roux) in 2014. Also,\u00a0two victories in the IMOCA class<\/strong>\u00a0in 2014 and 2018 with the same boat, designed in collaboration with Guillaume Verdier, initially named\u00a0Macif<\/em>\u00a0(Fran\u00e7ois Gabart) and subsequently\u00a0SMA<\/em>\u00a0(Paul Meilhat).<\/p>\n

29:<\/strong>\u00a0Number of boats designed by VPLP Design (some in collaboration with other architects) lining up for\u00a0the 2022 edition<\/strong>, comprising 5 Ultims, 4 Ocean Fiftys, 14 IMOCAs (including 10 with Guillaume Verdier), 4 Class40s, and 2 Rhum Multis. The firm is represented in five of the six race categories.<\/p>\n

67:\u00a0<\/strong>Age of\u00a0Philippe Poupon<\/strong>, winner of the 1986 edition, who is returning this year in the Rhum Multi category with\u00a0Flo<\/em>, formerly\u00a0Pierre\u00a01er<\/em>, in homage to Florence Arthaud.12.18:\u00a0<\/strong>Length in metres of the\u00a0Class40s<\/strong>, the smallest boats entering the Route du Rhum. The Ultims are the largest boats at 32\u00a0metres long.7 days 14 hours 21 minutes 47 seconds:\u00a0<\/strong>Record to beat<\/strong>\u00a0for the passage Saint Malo to Pointe \u00e0 Pitre (3,543 nautical miles or 6,552\u00a0km), held by\u00a0Idec Sport<\/em>\u00a0since 2018. For comparison, the winning time of the first edition forty years ago was 23 days and 7 hours, set by Mike Birch on\u00a0Olympus<\/em>.<\/p>\n

VPLP Design\u2019s relationship with the Route du Rhum\u00a0began in 1986<\/strong>\u00a0with two initial multihulls designed for Olivier de Kersauson and Olivier Moussy. The two founders of the firm, Vincent Lauriot Pr\u00e9vost and Marc Van Peteghem, and the architects of the racing division, Quentin Lucet and Xavier Guilbaud, share\u00a0their memories of the event<\/strong>.<\/em><\/div>\n

Marc Van Peteghem: 1990<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI was very good friends with\u00a0Florence Arthaud<\/strong>. I recall one night spent talking. We must have been about 19. She was in her first year of medical school, while I was doing maths and aiming for a place in a Grande \u00c9cole. She told me she wanted to give it up and focus on the sea and sailing. As for me, I was thinking about leaving for England to attend a naval architecture school. She said to me then that\u00a0it would be great if one day I could design her a boat<\/strong>. It was one of those wonderful things you say when you\u2019re a kid, except that it actually came to pass quite a few years later with\u00a0Pierre\u00a01er<\/em><\/strong>, which she sailed in the\u00a01990 Route du Rhum<\/strong>. That boat was very important for Vincent [Lauriot Pr\u00e9vost] and me. Between designing it and the subsequent developments with Florence, it really was magical. And the finish in Guadeloupe was\u00a0an incredible emotional shock<\/strong>. We were out on the water with Florence\u2019s family, with whom we remain very close, and all of us can picture that moment with the sun reflecting off the gold-coloured float. It was an instant which marked me both professionally and personally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vincent Lauriot Pr\u00e9vost: 2002<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2002 edition was\u00a0the most intense<\/strong>\u00a0I ever experienced, something happened every single day. The preparations were complicated because many boats had been built at the same time [ORMA trimarans], and there wasn\u2019t any time to test or tweak them. For example, Michel Desjoyeaux launched\u00a0G\u00e9ant<\/em>\u00a0in July and then dismasted on his first outing. Next, I hadn\u2019t even managed to get home from watching the start at Saint Malo when I got a phone call telling me that\u00a0Groupama<\/em>\u00a0was upside down and had been hit by\u00a0Bonduelle<\/em>! And\u00a0it didn\u2019t stop the following morning<\/strong>, either\u2026 You need to understand that, back then, the technical teams were smaller than they are today and they relied on us much more. The same went for the journalists, who wanted to understand the disaster [15 of the 18 boats competing didn\u2019t reach the finishing line]. It was very unusual. And right up until the end, because 48 hours before the finish, Steve Ravussin on Alain Gautier\u2019s old\u00a0Broc\u00e9liande<\/em>, which we had designed, capsized while leading the race. Fortunately\u00a0Michel [Desjoyeaux] provided us with some solace<\/strong>\u00a0by arriving first, but it really was a very gruelling edition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quentin Lucet: 2002<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI was born in 1978, the year of the first edition of the Route du Rhum. It\u2019s a nice coincidence because\u00a0the race has always been part of my career<\/strong>. During the 2002 edition I was studying naval architecture at Southampton. I pitched up at Marc Guillemeot\u2019s door and asked him if I could do some work experience. He was skippering the ORMA\u00a0Biscuits La Trinitaine<\/em>\u00a0at the time. I did a bit of everything, preparing, gel coating, and I decided to invest in a plane ticket to see the boats arrive in Port \u00e0 Pitre. It was an emotional moment because Marc was one of the three that actually completed the race [he was runner-up to Michel Desjoyeaux and arrived ahead of Lalou Roucayrol].\u00a0It was there in Guadeloupe that I met Vincent Lauriot Pr\u00e9vost for the first time<\/strong>. For the student that I was, he was a bit of a legend and I was very intimidated. We just clinked our glasses and exchanged a few words, but\u00a0it was undoubtedly that chance meeting which led to me working for VPLP<\/strong>. Several years later, in 2006, Vincent called me to see if I was interested in working with him on the firm\u2019s first IMOCA, in collaboration with Guillaume Verdier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Xavier Guilbaud: 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI was very involved in this edition because\u00a0I was the lead architect for\u00a0Macif<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Banque Populaire\u00a0IX<\/em><\/strong>. Armel\u2019s capsizing was an awful experience, frightening. We could see that he had stopped moving forward, but we didn\u2019t have any news. After an hour or two we learned that the boat had turned turtle but not much else until somebody told us that they had recovered Armel, which was a huge relief! It was only a material loss but it was nevertheless traumatizing.\u00a0It\u2019s awful to see the sinking of a boat that you spent three years of your life working on<\/strong>. With hindsight, there are plenty of positives. Even if the damage was done by an unidentified floating object, we still managed to get all the teams and architects to the table and go through the whole incident. And we were able to bounce back thanks to sponsors Banque Populaire who signed up for another boat. But that Route du Rhum didn\u2019t finish with Armel\u2019s capsizing! We thought that Fran\u00e7ois [Gabart] had it in the bag until Francis [Joyon] pulled off the upset, charging up from behind and pipping Fran\u00e7ois to the post.\u00a0We had mixed feelings at the finishing line<\/strong>.\u00a0We were all really satisfied with how it turned out at the finishing\u00a0line, with Francis\u2019s victory and a third win for the boat, and the fine\u00a0runner-up in Macif despite the latter having been disadvantaged for much\u00a0of the race.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
