At the start of their 21st<\/sup> day of racing, Francis Joyon and his elite crew are preparing to leave the low-pressure system that propelled them so far at high speed, allowing them to sail for eleven days on the same tack and to set several records in the Southern Ocean. As they cross theInternational Date Line and move to degrees of longitude West, IDEC SPORT is tackling a transition zone, meaning that a gybe is imminent to join another low heading towards the Cape Horn. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re already in the Pacific, although it\u2019s hard to grasp. The low that has been with is ggoing to stop here. We\u2019re heading towards the north and then gybing to come down onto another low further ahead,\u201d explained <\/em>Francis Joyon today with the trimaran heading towards the NE in NW\u2019ly winds that are growing lighter. \u201cWe\u2019ve already gone to full sail. We haven\u2019t seen that for a long time. We\u2019ll use the gennaker during the night until we get to the low and hoist the smaller sails again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

At 52\u00b0 S, 500 miles SE of Stewart Island to the south of New Zealand, they are all enjoying this short breather. \u201cEven if we\u2019re completely confused about the dates and times, and we\u2019re in No Man\u2019s Land, we know we\u2019ll shortly be getting closer to Brest!\u201d <\/em>added Bernard Stamm. \u201cIt\u2019s incredible to have sailed such a straight line. Everything fell into place for us. After this transition zone, we\u2019ll pick up some more wind and get back on a SSE\u2019ly heading. It\u2019s looking good all the way to the Horn, even if we\u2019ll have more manoeuvres to do<\/em>,\u201d added the Swiss sailor.<\/p>\n

Francis, Alex Pella, Bernard Stamm, Gw\u00e9nol\u00e9 Gahinet, Cl\u00e9ment Surtel and S\u00e9bastien Audigane have stabilised their lead at around 950 miles over the time set by Banque Populaire V five years ago, when she was sailed by a crew of 14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
