Podcasts about Alinghi

Il a découvert la voile à l'adolescence, entre Toulouse et Gruissan, dans une famille baignée par l'aéronautique - loin des capitales de la régate. C'est aux côtés de son père Ortwin, pionnier d'Airbus, que Stephan Kandler fait ses premières armes, en croisière puis en course, avant de professionnaliser cette passion au sein de K Yachting. Très actif dans les années 1990 sur les circuits ILC 40, Mumm 30 ou Corel 45, il construit des programmes ambitieux en équipage, repère de futurs grands noms (Juan Kouyoumdjian, Guillaume Verdier) et attire les meilleurs navigateurs français des circuits inshore.En 2001, à 30 ans, il se lance dans l'aventure Coupe de l'America avec la création de K-Challenge. Six ans plus tard, son équipe représente la France à Valence sous le nom Areva Challenge, après avoir frôlé la banqueroute. Le défi français se classe sixième de la Louis Vuitton Cup et parvient à rivaliser avec des écuries bien mieux dotées. L'avenir s'annonce prometteur - Stephan Kandler assure avoir alors réuni un budget de 60 millions d'euros grâce à un mécène et un partenaire -, mais le conflit judiciaire entre Oracle et Alinghi gèle tout projet de suite et tout s'effondre.Il rebondit en TP52 avec All4One durant trois saisons, sans parvenir à revenir dans la Coupe et prend ce qu'il pense être sa retraite de la voile pour se tourner vers les vignes pendant près de huit ans. Kandler revient à la voile en 2021, motivé par l'évolution technologique des supports et l'essor de SailGP. Il s'associe à Bruno Dubois et relance K-Challenge, avec l'objectif de concourir à la 37e America's Cup à Barcelone. C'est le groupe Accor, via sa marque Orient Express, qui relance définitivement la machine fin 2022. En deux ans à peine, un AC75 est construit chez Multiplast, issu du design package des Kiwis et l'équipe s'aligne dans les délais.Sur le plan sportif, Quentin Delapierre et les siens créent la surprise en remportant la première régate officielle à Villanova en AC40. Mais le manque d'entraînement sur l'AC75 et l'inexpérience de ce type de support pénalisent la suite du parcours. Malgré une victoire symbolique contre Alinghi, le défi tricolore ne se qualifie pas pour les demi-finales. Une "déception" sportive, Kandler ne s'en cache pas.Aujourd'hui, K-Challenge poursuit l'aventure à travers sa présence en SailGP, où elle aligne le même équipage qu'en America's Cup. L'équipe s'est ancrée à Lorient, via des activités technologiques (hydrogène, software embarqué, simulateur) qui nourrissent à la fois la performance et des débouchés industriels.Alors que la 38e édition de la Coupe se profile à Naples en 2027, Stéphane Kandler affiche son ambition : capitaliser sur l'expérience de Barcelone pour construire une équipe encore plus compétitive. La France a (re)pris pied dans la Coupe. Il reste désormais à s'y imposer. Et Stephan Kandler en est sûr : jamais cela n'a été aussi possible.Diffusé le 30 Mai 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Send us a textShirley Robertson's Sailing Podcast is back for another season of interviews with leading lights from the world of sailing, and the new season kicks off with US sailing legend Ed Baird. A World Sailor of the Year award winner, Baird also holds a coveted spot in the America's Cup Hall of Fame, he's a multiple Match Racing World Champion and is a regular across multiple Grand Prix Sailing leagues, from the 52 Super Series to the Maxi circuit.Robertson and Baird regularly sailed against each other back in days of the Extreme Sailing Series, but their chat was a little less competitive as Baird dropped by while in Cowes training for this summer's Admirals Cup.  The pair begin their two part chat with a discussion on Baird's early career, and how at just twenty two, he won the ultra competitive Laser Worlds in Kingston, Ontario, a regatta boasting the largest World Championship fleet the class has ever had...:"When you look back at the scoresheet from that race and you see the world class pros that we know today finishing seventy third or fifty seventh, you just think 'wow I didn't even know that guy then and look what he's done in the sport' so it really makes me feel lucky to have had the chance to do that."From a hard won Laser World Championships win, Baird and Robertson discuss his fight to make a name for himself on the star studded Match Racing scene, but also touch on his multiple and ultimately unsuccessful campaigns to sail for Team USA at the Olympic Games.  There's also some real nuggets of information from the three time Match Racing World Champion on his approach to the sport before the duo discuss Baird's entry into the world of the America's Cup...:"I was walking down (Cowes) high street and walked around the corner and literally bumped into Russell Coutts and he said 'How's it going with the Australians' and I said 'Oh, well, it's not' and he said 'You should come work for us'....so next thing you know I'm working for Team New Zealand" and within weeks Baird was in San Diego coaching the ultimate winners of the 1995 America's Cup.Episode One of this Two Part edition sees the duo discuss Baird's coaching role with the successful New Zealand Team, lead by Coutts, as they won trhe America's Cup for the first time, beating Dennis Connor in San Diego.In the next Episode the pair then touch on a wide range of topics, from Olympic Sailing to nationality rules, and a whole host in between, as they wind their way down the fascinating road that is Ed Baird's long and distinguished career as a pro sailor.This edition of the podcast is in two parts and is available to listen to via the podcast page of Shirley's own website - www.shirleyrobertson.com/podcast or via most popular podcast outlets, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast and aCast.

Ce 184e épisode de Pos. Report est consacré au Match de la 37e Coupe de l'America entre Ineos Britannia et Emirates Team New Zealand, décrypté par nos deux invités, Christian Karcher, six participations à la Coupe, dont trois victoires (deux avec Alinghi, une avec BMW Oracle) et Thierry Douillard, coach d'Orient Express Racing Team sur cette campagne 2024.Nous commençons d'ailleurs par évoquer l'actualité du défi français avec ce dernier, qui raconte comment l'AC75 tricolore a continué à naviguer après son élimination à l'issue des deux round robin de la Coupe Louis Vuitton, donc à progresser. Nous revenons avec les deux invités sur la campagne française, qui s'est achevée à la fin du deuxième round robin, avant d'évoquer la victoire d'Ineos Britannia sur les Italiens de Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli en finale de la Coupe Louis Vuitton, Thierry Douillard estimant notamment que le remplacement de Giles Scott par Dylan Fletcher comme deuxième barreur a été décisif.Nous décryptons ensuite les quatre manches disputées de samedi à lundi, avec pour l'instant un net avantage 4-0 au defender néo-zélandais qui, selon nos deux invités, se montre supérieur dans les phases de transition, bien plus efficace dans les relances en sortie de manœuvres. Christian Karcher explique comment Ineos Britannia s'est vu infliger une pénalité lors du pré-départ de la manche 3, injuste à ses yeux, Thierry Douillard détaille la manche 4, la plus serrée jusqu'ici avec un bon départ anglais, même si encore conclue par une victoire néo-zélandaise.Nous finissons par nous projeter sur la suite et fin de ce Match qui, selon Thierry Douillard, devrait se disputer dans des conditions météo encore assez faibles, donc plutôt favorables aux Kiwis, la solution par les Britanniques passant, selon les deux spécialistes de la Coupe, par de l'agressivité au départ et des progrès dans les transitions.Diffusé le 15 octobre 2024Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecordsPost-production : Grégoire Levillain Hébergé par Ausha.

Il ne reste plus que quatre bateaux en lice pour défier le Team New Zealand en octobre en finale de la Coupe de l'America. Parmi eux, le défi suisse Alinghi qui ne part pas favori dans les demi-finales qui démarrent ce samedi 14 septembre 2024. Notre consultant Tanguy Cariou est en direct de Barcelone.

Après un début de round robin raté, Alinghi s'est bien relancé cette semaine dans la course aux demi-finales de la Louis Vuitton. Le défi suisse joue sa place dans le carré final ce week-end. Isabelle Musy est en direct de Barcelone

Si Alinghi entend disputer la finale de la Coupe de l'America en octobre, le défi suisse doit déjà se qualifier pour les demi-finales de la Louis Vuitton. Sa défaite d'entrée contre le défi français, le jeudi 29 août 2024, n'a pas rassuré. Tanguy Cariou, consultant RTS Sport, analyse en direct les trois premières journées de régate.

Le départ des régates préliminaires de la Coupe de l'America a été donné le jeudi 22 août 2024 à Barcelone. L'occasion pour les six bateaux engagés dans la compétition de s'affronter une première fois et de marquer des points qui pourraient être précieux pour la suite de la compétition.

Si vous n'êtes pas un habitué des arcanes de la Coupe de l'America, leur nom ne vous dira rien. Et pourtant, Virginie et François Nivelleau sont des piliers de l'épreuve depuis près de 35 ans !Leur histoire débute à Marseille, où ils se rencontrent... le jour du bac, à 17 ans. Ils ne se quitteront plus : études de maths puis d'architecture navale, régates, premier bureau d'études, ils font tout ensemble. Ils se spécialisent dans les études en soufflerie sur les voiles et les gréements et collaborent avec Marc Pajot pour la coupe de 1992 à San Diego.Dès 1995, toujours avec l'équipe de Pajot, ils développent  une technologie qui permet de mesurer la forme des voiles via une caméra installée en tête de mât, d'abord en différé puis en direct. Ils sont repérés par les Kiwis, qui viennent de remporter la Coupe et déménagent à Auckland. Ils gagneront avec la dream team all black (Brad Butterworth, Tom Schnackenberg, Russell Coutts...) leur première aiguière d'argent.Ils suivent Coutts chez Alinghi pour trois éditions, dont deux victorieuses (2003, 2007), et font évoluer leur expertise : pour l'édition 2010, ils s'installent à San Diego pour suivre le défi américain pour le compte d'Alinghi. S'ils sont effectivement des "espions", ce sont des espions capables d'interpréter les images qu'ils capturent et de fournir des synthèses précieuses pour le defender - ils iront jusqu'à redessiner des foils...Ils ne seront pas de l'édition 2013 à San Francisco, mais mèneront ce job de "recon", comme on dit désormais dans le jargon de la Coupe, lors des éditions 2017 et 2021, de nouveau pour Team New Zealand, avec deux nouvelles victoires à la clé.Pour l'édition 2024, ils passent chez Luna Rossa, mais le boulot a changé : c'est désormais l'organisation qui fournit des milliers d'images de chaque défi, que les analystes décortiquent ensuite.A 67 et 68 ans, après 9 participations et 5 victoires, la passion des Nivelleau pour la Coupe de l'America ne faiblit pas, et ils sont partants pour la prochaine !Diffusé le 23 août 2024Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

This month on Shirley Robertson's Sailing Podcast Shirley previews the 37th America's Cup, as the city of Barcelona readies for what promises to be one of the most exciting editions of the famous trophy.Five Challengers are set to battle it out on the fastest foiling monohulls ever built, as they go head to head in the Louis Vuitton Cup, in a fight to take on the Defender, the current holder of the trophy, Emirates Team New Zealand.Robertson talks to representatives from all six of the Cup teams, chatting to team members with a wide range of roles, to get a real insight from across the fleet into what to expect come race day.In this the second episode of this two part edition Robertson kicks things off talking to INEOS Britannia's Design Lead, Martin Fischer.  Based at Brackley in the UK, Fischer and his Cup design team share an office with the might of the designers behind Lewis Hamilton and George Russell's Mercedes AMG Formula 1 team, so an obvious discussion point is the influence on F1 design on the increasingly imnportant area of aerodynamics.  Fischer was lead design at Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli for the last edition of the Cup, and is an expert voice on the evolution of the AC75 design rule, as well as some ideas on how the other teams' boats are shaping up.Robertson then heads to Orient Express Racing Team, to talk to team CEO Bruno Dubois.  Leading a French team that's based heavily on the talented French Sail GP team, Dubois discusses the talented line up in his team of Quentin Delapierre and Kevin Peponnet, he talks about the design package deal between the team and the Defender, and discusses the fact the team were the last to launch their AC75 in Barcelona.From France, Robertson heads across the Barcelona yacht basin, to the home of American Magic, to site down with podcast regular and all around sailing super-helm, Tom Slingsby.  Part of the American dual-helm seup with Paul Goodison, Slingsby is a previous Cup winner, but missed the previous Cup in Auckland,  The pair discuss much about sailing the AC75, compare it to the F50 of Sail GP, but also discuss the adoption of recumbent cyclors by the American Team, the only team in the Cup to do so.Robertson's final chat is with Swiss Olympic rowing star Barnabe Delarze, one of several rowers in the cyclor team at Alinghi Red Bull Racing.  A two time Olympian with a win in the famous University Boat Race on his CV, Delarze discusses life as an AC37 cyclor, how pivotal the role is, why so many of the teams are packed with Olympic rowers, and what winning the Cup for two time winners Alinghi would mean to the team.This edition of the podcast is in two parts.Support the Show.

Vor über 20 Jahren hat die Alinghi als erstes europäisches Team den Americas Cup gewonnen. Dieses Jahr ist das Schweizer Segel-Team endlich wieder mit dabei. Auch der zweifache Olympia-Ruderer Nico Stahlberg trainiert als Crew-Mitglied von Alinghi für den Americas Cup 2024. Der Americas Cup ist nicht nur die älteste Sporttrophäe der Welt, sondern mittlerweile auch die Formel 1 auf dem Wasser. Mit über 100 km/h fliegen die Hightech- Segelschiffe übers Meer. Am 37. Americas Cup im August mischt auch die Crew von Alinghi wieder ganz vorne mit. Einer davon ist der ehemalige Spitzenruderer Nico Stahlberg aus Schönenberg (TG). Er ist im sogenannten Powerteam, das mit Fahrradfahren die Energie für die hydraulischen Manöver des Hightech-Bootes erzeugen muss: «Mit viel Muskelkraft können wir so das Segel spannen und einstellen.» Die Alinghi befindet sich mitten in der heissen Vorbereitungsphase und die Trainingstage sind lang: «Morgens trainiere ich auf dem Velo oder im Fitnessraum und nachmittags sind wir mit der Alinghi auf dem Meer draussen.» Der Plan ändert je nach Wetter täglich. Trotz hartem Training auch ein bischen Ferienfeeling Seit zwei Jahren lebt Nico Stahlberg in Barcelona. Die Basis des Alinghi Red Bull Racing Teams strahlt mitten im Hafen Port Vell. Ganz in der Nähe wohnt Nico Stahlberg mit seiner Lebensgefährtin. Auch wenn die Freizeit eher knapp ist, finden die beiden immer wieder Zeit, um fein essen zu gehen: «Barcelona ist wunderschön und hat viele kleine Restaurants und Bars. Wir lieben die spanische Küche und die offene Art der Leute. Wir fühlen uns hier sehr wohl.»

Alinghi gewinnt am 3. Juli 2007 in Valencia zum zweiten Mal den geschichtsträchtigen America's Cup. Unter Ernesto Bertarelli macht die Alinghi die Schweiz erneut zur Segel-Nation – und das auf dramatische Art und Weise. Es ist die knappste Entscheidung in der Geschichte des Wettbewerbs.

Unsere Themen in dieser Folge: - Oliver Heer, seinen Kontakt zum Sportpsychologen und Funktionäre, die das nicht mögen - Alinghi hat ihren Mast verloren. Was bedeutet das für den Americas Cup? - Wenn eine Yacht in ihrer Historie gleich zwei Mal den Kiel verliert. Tragischer Seeunfall. - Zwei Doufour-Yachten brezeln ineinander. Wer hat Schuld? Was sagt die KVR dazu? - Motorboote, die völlig losgelöst an Segelbooten vorbei brettern und warum matschige Tomaten helfen

Tales from The America's Cup with Six Time Winner Murray JonesThis month's podcast sees Shirley Robertson talking to New Zealand's Murray Jones about a remarkable career spanning over two decades chasing the oldest trophy in international sport.  Talking during a break in racing at the St Barth's Bucket earlier this year, Robertson starts the conversation with a chat about Jones' early life growing up in New Zealand, and how he soon starting making a name for himself in the 470 Class.  A reserve in the Olympic team as a teenager, Jones' early career saw him part of a spectacularly  talented generation of New Zealand sailors.  For the national Olympic Team, medals soon followed, but two Olympic appearances in the Flying Dutchman class saw Jones disappointed with two top five finishes, but no medal. Pretty soon though, the Cup came calling, and Jones became a pivotal member of the 1995 Team New Zealand challenger under Sir Peter Blake.  Sailing as strategist in the 1995 San Diego America's Cup, Jones talks of hours spent up the mast of Black Magic, as the team went on to the defeat Dennis Connor's team 0-5, his recollections at times almost understated as he looks back on what was New Zealand's fist ever Cup victory...:"We'd just test the whole time, we didn't do any racing, we took the attitiude that the Louis Vuitton Cup would be our practice racing and we were just fast and we basically sailed away from all the boats in the Louis Vuitton Cup and Dennis in the Cup.  The fastest boat always wins the America's Cup! '"With the win in San Diego and New Zealand's successful defence of the Cup in Auckland in 2000, by the age of just thirty three, Murray Jones had twice won the most coveted trophy in sailing.  But for the world of New Zealand sailing, unexpected events were on the horizzon...:"Out of the blue, Russel (Coutts) rang me and said 'I want to talk to you about something, I've got an offer to sail for this Swiss guy for the America's Cup and...I'll do it with a couple of you guys, would you be in..?' It blew me away, I had no idea, I said 'Wow!' I hadn't even thought about sailing for any other country other than New Zealand. Anyway, I rang him up the next day and said 'Yeah, I'm in, let's see what happens!' "Jones and Robertson then discuss how the New Zealander moved over to the newly formed Swiss Alinghi sailing team, the team that then went on to successfully Challenge for the 2003 Cup, winning the Cup from their old team mates at Team New Zealand.It's a revealing insight into what was a fascinating time in international sailing, as Alinghi Murray discusses the implications implications of the then controversial decision, joining a team that would ultimately see him go on to win  two more Cups, in 2003 and 2007. Part Two of the Podcast gets underway as Robertson and Jones pick things up as Alinghi prepare to defend the Cup in Valencia, without key team member Russell Coutts.This edition of the podcast is in two parts and is available to listen to via the podcast page of Shirley's own website - www.shirleyrobertson.com/podcast or via most popular podcast outlets, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast and aCast.

Injury put a halt to Jones' career as a Cup sailor, but his continued involvement in the Team saw him as a pivotal part of the 2013 San Francisco campaign, his memories of capsizes, espionage, and inevitable tales of the impossible comeback  are again fascinating.Jones' final Cup campaign saw him back where it all started, coaching Team New Zealand to their eventual win in the waters of Bermuda, wrapping up an incredible seven Cup campaigns with another Team win, the sixth winning campaign of his career.This edition of the podcast is in two parts and is available to listen to via the podcast page of Shirley's own website - www.shirleyrobertson.com/podcast or via most popular podcast outlets, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast and aCast.

Réputés taiseux et courageux, les marins de haute mer convoquent un imaginaire fait de récits extraordinaires. Mais peut-on vivre lʹaventure en eau douce? Assurément. La Suisse, un pays de lacs, nʹa pas à rougir de ses navigatrices et de ses navigateurs. Les exploits de Pierre Fehlmann, Bernard Stamm, Alinghi ou aujourdʹhui Justine Mettraux ont nourri lʹintérêt du grand public pour la voile sportive ou de plaisance, même si ce sont les bateaux à moteur qui restent les plus prisés. La Suisse sʹavère lʹun des pays sans mer au monde qui compte le plus de bateaux privés immatriculés: 97 659 pour lʹannée 2022. Mais lʹengouement pour la navigation en eau douce a aussi rendu de plus en plus difficile lʹaccès aux places dʹamarrage. Longtemps réservé aux riches, ce loisir sʹest-il tout à fait démocratisé?

Published 15 October 2023We chat to Jon Bilger, Olympic sailor, weather forecaster for Alinghi throughout the Americas Cup and founder of PredictWind. This conversation went everywhere. Jon has a great sailing history and he tells a story with Kiwi humour. Plus we were able to go deep into weather modelling and open up our understanding of all the tools it offers. Of course we came up with a lot of business ideas, one of which I guarantee Google will pick up and run with. It was another cracker of an episode. If you go sailing this episode will give you information that will make your time on the water better.

A 41 ans, la Française Coraline Jonet vit depuis plus de quinze ans une grande histoire avec l'équipe suisse d'Alinghi, qu'elle considère comme une famille, au point qu'elle confie : “Je pourrais partir en vacances avec n'importe quel membre de l'équipe.”  Originaire de Mâcon, en Bourgogne, Coraline tire ses premiers bords à Marseille jusqu'à ce que sa famille déménage à La Réunion. A 15 ans, elle passe au judo - “Maman en avait un peu marre de tous les déplacements pour la voile” -, mais ça ne dure pas et dès son retour à Marseille, elle renoue avec son sport, décrochant un titre de championne du monde de 420, en parallèle de ses études de sciences éco et communication.  Elle se jette ensuite dans le grand bain professionnel et rejoint Alinghi, defender de la 32e America's Cup à Valence, dans le département hospitalité. Elle vit de l'intérieur la victoire suisse, avant de devenir membre de l'équipage de D35 barré par Ernesto Bertarelli, seule femme à bord. “Le fait que je sois une femme n'a jamais été un sujet, la différence, c'est le physique, mais il y a clairement des moyens de s'adapter.”  L'aventure D35 dure dix ans, pendant lesquels, en plus de son rôle d'équipière, elle gère également la communication du projet. La place des femmes dans la voile ? “Elle est essentielle, répond-elle, comme dans tous domaines sur terre. Celles qui ont envie d'aller plus loin, il faut leur laisser les opportunités et ce que fait Team New Zealand en créant la première Women's America's Cup, c'est fabuleux.”  Coraline Jonet est d'ailleurs en charge du projet féminin pour Alinghi Red Bull Racing, ajoutant, à propos des navigatrices helvètes : “Ce qui est essentiel, c'est de leur donner les outils pour être performantes l'année prochaine, qu'elles apprennent.

This month, Shirley Robertson visits Swiss America's Cup powerhouse Alinghi Red Bull Racing at their base in Barcelona as they prepare to Challenge for the 37th America's Cup.They're the only team to have ever launched a successful challenge to the America's Cup at first attempt, and the only European team to have ever won it, but for over a decade Swiss America's Cup syndicate Alinghi have been waiting, watching, following developments.  And now, they are back, relaunched as Alinghi Red Bull Racing, and already well established in the host city of Barcelona.  In this month's podcast, double Olympic gold medallist Shirley Robertson visits the Swiss team and talks to several key players, to hear just what it is about AC37 that has rekindled interest, and to look at how one of the most successful Cup teams of the modern era is launching a bid to reclaim the illusive silver ware.Robertson starts the two part podcast with the team's principle helm, Arnaud Psarofaghis.  No stranger to racing fast foiling yachts, Psarofaghis is visibly excited at the development process of a Cup campaign, as the pair discuss the way the team have learned to sail their first generation AC75...:"When you are on the boat, you start to accelerate, 12 knots, 14 knots, 15 knots, and it's incredible because the boat is big, noisy, it's quite a brutal environment, and I remember the first time we got to take off speed and suddenly there is a moment of silence.  Nothing is happening...you feel like it's a dinghy...you have that moment of joy for ten seconds, and then you come back to reality!"Sailing team manager Pierre Yves Jorand then discusses the challenges ahead for the team, as well as revealing the process that saw Alinghi owner Ernest Bertarelli re-enter the America's Cup arena...:"We were listening, we were watching the America's Cup, we were reading the protocols and Ernesto (Bertarelli) always said that once the protocol will be right, we'll be back. A couple of years ago he mentioned the America's Cup is like climbing Everest, and to be successful you need a good forecast.  And for us the weather forecast is the protocol, and this time, the protocol seems to be fair, and we decided to come back.  We are super excited to be back."In Part 2 of this edition, Robertson talks to Yves Detrey, Alinghi team veteran and winner of the Cup with the Swiss syndicate in 2003 and 2007, she talks AC75 design with America's Cup naval architect Adolfo Carrau from Botin Partners, the design house of choice for Alinghi Red Bull Racing.  and she wraps things up with team board member Brad Butterworth, a key component of the Swiss syndicate since the earliest days of campaigning.  This edition of the podcast is in two parts and is available to listen to via the podcast page of Shirley's own website - www.shirleyrobertson.com/podcast or via most popular podcast outlets, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast and aCast.

Ce 90e épisode de Pos. Report reçoit Yann Guichard, cofondateur et président de l'écurie Spindrift Racing, également skipper du maxi Sails of Change (ex Spindrift 2) et du TF35 de l'équipe, et Christopher Pratt, nouvel équipier du même Sails of Change, en stand-by à partir du 24 octobre pour s'attaquer au Trophée Jules Verne. Nous commençons par évoquer l'actualité récente de nos deux invités, en premier lieu le dernier Grand Prix du TF35 Tour auquel a participé Spindrift du 6 au 9 octobre à Scarlino (Toscane). Yann Guichard dresse un bilan très satisfaisant de cette épreuve, dont l'équipe a pris la deuxième place, et plus globalement de la saison, avec une équipe jeune qui a beaucoup progressé, selon lui, au point de signer son premier succès à Malcesine et de se rapprocher des deux teams qui ont dominé les deux premières saisons du TF35 Tour, Alinghi et Realteam. De son côté, Christopher Pratt a participé aux Voiles de Saint-Tropez à bord de Lady First, un Mylius 60, sur lequel il navigue une partie de l'année, entre courses inshore et offshore. S'il regrette que l'événement soit désormais divisé en deux - la première semaine consacrée aux classiques et modernes de moins de 60 pieds, la seconde aux maxis et multicoques - le Marseillais a apprécié les bons moments partagés notamment à bord avec Xavier Macaire et Ronan Treussart. Nous ouvrons ensuite une large page Trophée Jules Verne. Yann Guichard présente son équipage pour la nouvelle tentative dont le stand-by débutera le 24 octobre : à ses côtés seront présents plusieurs fidèles - son frère Jacques, Xavier Revil, Thierry Chabagny, Grégory Gendron, Julien Villion, Benjamin Schwartz - sa compagne et cofondatrice de Spindrift, Dona Bertarelli, qui tiendra le rôle de reporter embarquée, tandis que trois nouveaux font leur apparition : Pierre Leboucher, Clément Giraud et Christopher Pratt. Ce dernier raconte comment il a été recruté, un peu par hasard, et son bonheur d'avoir été intégré à un équipage “de gentils”, lui qui “rêve de faire le tour du monde”, qui plus est sur “un bateau incroyable, capable d'atteindre des vitesses hyper élevées, tout en étant très sécurisant, même s'il est un peu plus volage que je ne le pensais.” Yann Guichard présente justement ce bateau, raccourci il y a deux ans (la coque centrale a été rabotée de 3 mètres pour être à la taille des flotteurs, 37 mètres), un gros travail ayant été fait sur l'énergie à bord, puisque Sails of Change s'élancera sur le tour du monde sans moteur ni générateur, “un vrai défi dans le défi”. Le skipper évoque ensuite le temps à battre, 40 jours et 23 heures par Idec Sport, et les atouts de Sails of Change qui, par rapport aux Ultims qui vont aussi s'attaquer au Jules Verne cet hiver (Maxi Edmond de Rothschild, peut-être Sodebo Ultim 3), est plus performant dans du vent fort, moins dans le petit temps ou le médium car beaucoup plus lourd (22 tonnes, contre 13-14). Nous finissons par évoquer la Route du Rhum, Christopher Pratt ayant travaillé cette année aux côtés de Maxime Sorel pour l'aider à prendre en main son nouvel Imoca V and B-Monbana-Mayenne, tandis que Yann Guichard confie suivre avec toujours beaucoup d'intérêt cette transat à laquelle il a participé la dernière fois en 2014 sur Spindrift 2, deuxième derrière Loïck Peyron sur Banque Populaire VII.

El mítico equipo suizo es el primero en instalarse en Barcelona para la Copa América

Wingfoilen, Foilen, Foilsurfen - man hört allerhand und weiss nicht recht, was es genau ist. Bei alle dem schwebt eine Surferin oder ein Surfer mit dem Brett über den See.  «Das Foil ist dasjenige, was unten am Brett angemacht ist», sagt Dani Reinhard, Surf- und Foilinstruktor am Thunersee. Der Mast, der für Laien vom Ufer aus ausseiht wie ein Zahnstocher, der ins Wasser ragt, gleicht einem Segelflugzeug. «Man kenn die Technik schon von Tragflügelbooten und der Alinghi», sagt der Instruktor.  Ordnung mit den Begriffen Soweit einmal das Foil, also der Teil, der ins Wasser ragt und für den Auftrieb sorgt, zusammen mit dem Segel. Segel, die an einen Drachen erinnern und nicht mit einem Mast mit dem Brett verbunden sind, heissen in der Fachsprache «Wing», englisch für Flügel. Damit sind wir beim Wingsurfen. Es gibt aber auch mit dem Brett verbundene Segel. Überbegriff über allem ist kurz das Foilen. Ein Sport für alle? «Von zehnjährigen bis zu 65-jährigen habe ich schon alles auf dem Brett gesehen», sagt Dani Reinhard. Sicher braucht es einen guten Gleichgewichtssinn. Und Audauer. Aber dann, dann kann der alte Menschheitstraum vom Fliegen wahr werden. 

Le Lac Léman accueille ce week-end les participants au 83ème Bol d'Or, la plus importante régate en bassin fermé au monde. La météo est bonne et il y aura, un peu, de vent. Alinghi sera l'un des favoris, mais cette semaine, c'est un tout autre bateau et un autre défi qui a été présenté. Alinghi Red Bull Racing se lance à la conquête de la Coupe de l'America. L'équipe est composée de personnalités au profil très variés, on y trouve des anciens rameurs (aviron) et même un ancien cycliste.

With the much awaited announcement that the 37th America's Cup will be held in the Spanish city of Barcelona, Shirley Robertson's Sailing Podcast this month features interviews with several of the Cup's key stakeholders, as they discuss the excitement behind this landmark decision.It's been just over a year since Emirates Team New Zealand successfully defended the Cup on home waters in Auckland, and following a rigorous and in depth selection process, Emirates Team New Zealand CEO Grant Dalton was excited to name the Spanish city as the winning venue in a tender process that included three other significantly attractive bids.Dalton kicks off the podcast with a discussion about the process itself, highlighting what it was about Barcelona's bid that saw them come out on top, before inevitably discussing the complicated decision to hold the Cup away from Auckland.  In the one hundred and seventy years of America's Cup history, a defence away from home waters is a significant rarity, in fact only once, in 2017 (Oracle Team USA defending in Bermuda) has this decision been made without geography being a determining factor (2007 and 2010 saw Swiss team Alinghi defend in Valencia due to lack of open ocean at home in Switzerland).  The decision has faced significant criticism at home in New Zealand but Dalton's chat with Robertson is very clear - without securing the financial security for the sailing team, a viable defence against such a strong group of Challengers is an impossibility...:"The team will always be the priority...in saying that though, we want an absolutely amazing event, we're the Defender, we have a responsibility to that, but the team will always be the priority, and so we can't take money out of the equation...and the original motive was to put the team in it's best financial position to be able to have a chance against amazingly strong teams coming at us, to three-peat." clarifies Dalton.Robertson discusses several aspects of the decision process with Dalton, as the pair discuss the responsibility of the Defender to continue the legacy of the world's oldest international sporting trophy.Robertson, who herself sailed the first of her four Olympic regattas for Team GB at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, talks to several other key stakeholders in the 37th America's Cup, including podcast regular Terry Hutchinson,  team principal of American Magic, the Challenger representing the original holder of the trophy, the New York Yacht Club.  Hutchinson and his American team are delighted with the venue announcement,  and he does not underestimate the significance of the Defender's decision...:"The Defenders have taken an aggressive decision...and as a competitor you can't overlook that, and so I'm excited by the opportunity, I also recognise all the teams are really really good, so we know how this game goes, we lived it to the nth degree in the last one so I'm excited by the opportunity in front of us."In the second part of this two part podcast Robertson talks to team principal of the official Challenger of Record, INEOS Britannia's Sir Ben Ainslie, before discussing the implications of the announcement with North Sails President Kenny Read.  Part 2 wraps up with a chat with Emirates Team New Zealand's COO Kevin Shoebridge, who discusses the implications of the announcement on the New Zealand sailing team, and the opportunities it brings.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sailingpodcast)

Una durísima batalla legal acaba con Alinghi y Oracle regateando solos en Valencia con multicascos gigantes

El catalán Joan Vila es el único regatista español en haber ganado en tres ocasiones la Copa América, dos con Alinghi y una con Oracle.

Las Historias del Role: 18. Suiza fichó y nacionalizó a las estrellas del New Zealand para entrar en la historia con Alinghi

Shirley Robertson this month talks to a man that has sailed in a remarkable six America's Cup campaigns, as she sits down to chat with New Zealand grinder Jono Macbeth.  As the pair discuss, Macbeth's career in sailing was in no way scheduled, starting after a chance encounter with the legendary Sir Peter Blake.  Team New Zealand had just won the 1995 America's Cup in San Diego when Blake invited a young Macbeth to join an exciting new venture in Auckland.  The pair first met after a random encounter at an Auckland kayak shop....:"I was down in a squat position and I was about to try and pick up this fridge all by myself and I hear this big booming voice behind me..."Do you need a hand?"  And without turning around I said "Yeah, that'd be good mate", and glanced over my shoulder and low and behold there was (Sir Peter) Blake, standing over me, arms folded."What followed is one of the most exhaustive Cup careers in the sport. Blake invited Macbeth to join the team, and since that first Team New Zealand defence of the Cup in 2000, Macbeth has been a regular feature competing for the illusive trophy, and has lived through some of the modern era's most fascinating campaigns.Macbeth stayed on at Team New Zealand as Russell Coutts and Brad Butterworth left the team to sail with ultimate 2003 Cup winners Alinghi, and then again sailed in the Cup match after New Zealand won through the exhausting 2007 Louis Vuiton Challenger Series in Valencia.As the future of the Cup went through the courts, and a Deed of Gift match looked likely, Macbeth joined Russell Coutts at BMW Oracle, and began sailing the monster 90ft trimaran that would ultimately win the two team Deed of Gift battle in Valencia.  It was a fascinating period, as designers, sailing teams and shore crew all came to grips with the introduction of the wing sail. Jono's story spans almost two decades of Cup campaigning - Part 1 wraps up after that Deed of Gift victory, before Part 2 gets underway in San Francisco 2013.This edition of the podcast is in two parts and is available to listen to via the podcast page of Shirley's own website, at www.shirleyrobertson.com/podcast or via most popular podcast outlets, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast and aCast.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sailingpodcast)

Another Formula One team has entered the America's Cup realm. Red Bull Racing have officially dipped their toes into the competition often referred to as 'F1 on water', linking up with Swiss syndicate Alinghi for the 37th edition of the Cup. AUT sailing professor Mark Orams joined D'arcy Waldegrave.LISTEN ABOVE

In dieser Episode dreht sich alles um das angekündigte Comeback des Alinghi-Teams, das nach elf Jahren Pause wieder im America's Cup mitmischen möchte. Von vielen Fans war diese Ankündigung herbeigesehnt worden, jetzt ist es Wahr geworden. Wir sprechen über die Einzelheiten und Gründe und gehen auf das Protokoll des nächsten America's Cup ein. Denn dort wartet so manche Überraschung.

Martin Tasker spent most of his time behind a microphone, having commentated and presented news stories on anything from the America's and Admiral's Cup to the Ocean Race and Olympics. In fact, in his time as a reporter with TVNZ, he produced close to 5500 stories, many of them about yachting. He lifted the lid on a number of news breaks, like the time Russell Coutts and Brad Butterworth were lured to Alinghi, but was equally happy telling the story about something happening at grassroots level. Martin talks about his career as both a yachting reporter and commentator in this podcast and tells the stories about how he and Peter Lester were threatened by Oracle with expulsion from not only the America's Cup but also the country, what it was like to be on the inside with Team New Zealand in Bermuda in 2017, the lengths he would go to for a story, and the time he became the story after a seemingly innocent comment picked up when he thought he was off air caused a huge controversy.

Les mômes qui apprennent la voile sur le lac de Cazaux ne gagnent pas tous la Coupe de l'America. Mais on en compte au moins un, et il s'appelle Philippe Presti. A 56 ans, l'Arcachonnais est un coach très recherché par les teams qui se lancent dans la conquête de l'aiguière d'argent. Avant de devenir une référence, ce prof d'EPS a appris la voile à Bordeaux, avant de tomber dans la régate, presque par hasard. Lasériste à l'origine, il passe sur Finn et, trois ans plus tard, devient champion du monde en 1993, à 28 ans, puis champion d'Europe en 1995, avant de partir aux Jeux d'Atlanta en 1996 (14e) et d'enchaîner avec un nouveau titre mondial ! Il se lance ensuite dans le Soling (9e aux Jeux de Sydney) qui lui permet de découvrir le circuit mondial de match-racing, à l'époque antichambre de la Coupe de l'America. En 2003, il découvre la Coupe pour de bon, avec le défi français 6e Sens : c'est le début d'une longue histoire, toujours en cours, près de vingt ans plus tard. Luna Rossa (2007), BMW Oracle (2010), Oracle Team USA (2013 et 2017), Luna Rossa (2021), Philippe Presti participe comme coach aux cinq dernières éditions, en remportant deux, dont la mythique remontada face aux Kiwis à San Francisco en 2013. Enfin, depuis 2018, il cumule la Coupe avec le circuit SailGP, gagnant la première édition avec l'équipe australienne, avant d'être transféré dans l'équipe américaine à l'arrivée de Jimmy Spithill, avec qui il a collaboré lors de cinq des six éditions auxquelles il a participé. Une carrière - toujours en cours ! - incroyable, que Philippe Presti prend le temps de nous raconter avec chaleur et précision tout au long de cet épisode diffusé en deux parties. Dans cette 2e partie, on retrouve Philippe au moment où il quitte, Luna Rossa à l'issue de la Coupe de l'America 2007 pour rejoindre James Spithill chez les Américains d'Oracle team USA, pour des aventures extraordinaires, en multicoque, cette fois.

This month on her podcast Shirley Robertson talks to one of the world's leading offshore and Maxi yacht skippers, from New Zealand, Mike "Moose" Sanderson.  With tales to tell from the America's Cup, the Volvo Ocean Race and a host of successful Maxi yacht campaigns, Sanderson is a man who very obviously loves to talk sailing.  Having left school early to pursue a career as a sail maker, he has spent his entire adult life immersed in the sport, and from his very first answer his enthusiasm and passion is there for all to hear.Having sat down to talk just days after Emirates Team New Zealand's win at the 36th America's Cup, the pair kick things off with a short chat about the successful defence of the Cup, before moving on to Sanderson's early love of sailing and desire to make a living from the sport.  HIs early inspiration was New Zealand's 1987 Freemantle America's Cup campaign, and of course Sir Peter Blake, and "Steinlager 2's" Whitbread win of 1990, both of which drove him to quit school and take to sailing.  Within a few years he had attracted the attention of some big names, in a country where big things were happening in the sport of sailing.  At twenty one he was on the crew of New Zealand Endeavour, off around the world on the Whitbread, and his career was well underway."What was unbelievable about that campaign was that it was only four or five years after Freemantle, and all my heroes from Freemantle were actually sailing on the boat, these guys had literally all been on posters on my wall, and now I'm getting to sail around the world with them!"That 1993/94 Whitbread Race was his first of many circumnavigations that made a big impression on the young twenty two year old."My first time around the world was like honestly, it was like reading a book about the round the world race...in the Southern Ocean we broke the mizzen mast, everything which I dreamt about, good and bad, it all happened.  It was a very surreal time."The 1993/94 Whitbread was the start of a career that would take in America's Cup campaigns, multiple Whitbread and Volvo Ocean Race campaigns, and a World Sailor of the Year win in 2006, having become the youngest skipper ever to win the prestigious Volvo Ocean Race leading the famed "ABN Amro I" campaign.  His career spans the modern era of yacht racing, and has seen him sail with some of the biggest names in the sport.He talks candidly about the Cup period in 2003 in Auckland when Alinghi beat Team New Zealand, and of the implications that had for the sport...:"That 1989 to 2000 period was interesting times....post 2000 of course was probably the biggest turning point in professional sailing that we've seen....because it went from something that you could possibly live on to literally overnight salaries tripled, quadrupled, whatever you like, suddenly every man and his dog was putting up there hand.  It was a great time to be a professional sailor"As an insight into the modern professional era of competitive sailing, this honest and engaging interview opens the door on life as a professional in our sport, and takes the listener down a multitude of different avenues, as Sanderson opens up on a lifetime spent sailing at the highest level.  This edition of the podcast is in two parts and is available to listen to via the podcast page of Shirley's own website, at www.shirleyrobertson.com/podcast or via most popular podcast outlets, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast and aCast.

Vom Mittelmeer springen wir in die Ostsee, wo sich eine Robbe vorübergehend bei einem Teilnehmer des Midsummersail an Bord einquartierte. Außerdem spüren wir dem Gerücht nach, dass Alinghi wieder am America's Cup teilnimmt, der eventuell wieder in Europa ausgetragen werden könnte. Denn der Austragungsort steht "zum Verkauf".

Shirley Robertson's guest this month is one of the most successful tacticians of the modern era.  From the America's Cup to the Whitbread, the Admirals Cup to the Sydney Hobart, New Zealand's Brad Butterworth has been at the sharp end of competitive sailing for his entire adult life, and has a grand prix sailing CV few could match.The duo sat down together at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron in Auckland where Butterworth had been consulting for the official Challenger of record, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli.  The pair kick things off by discussing various aspects of the thirty sixth America's Cup, including the adoption of the new Cup Class, the AC75, and Brad's role as mediator between the Challenger and the Defender.Sailing since his early school days, Butterworth has strong opinions on various aspects of the America's Cup, and as a winner of four consecutive Cups for two different nations, has more back to back race wins than any afterguard member in Cup history, a fact that in 2004 saw him honoured in the America's Cup Hall of Fame.  In Part 1 of this two part podcast, Robertson and Butterworth  talk about his days campaigning with Sir Peter Blake, in the Whitbread Race of 1995, a race that saw 'Steinlager II' dominate the fleet, a fact that had a great effect on the up and coming Butterworth, but in Part 2 the talk centres on Butterworth's successes in the America's Cup, winning  for New Zealand in 1995, successfully defending the Cup on home waters in 2000 and then, in a move hugely unpopular with the sailing mad New Zealand public, moving from Team New Zealand to Swiss rivals and eventual 2003 winners Alinghi...:"It was crazy, it was madness, they were trying to put bullet proof vests on us when we towed out, he (Coutts) had protection, I had protection, a lot of the guys, Kiwis, had protection....they started a movement called Blackheart, which was a great name, for a group that hated us guys.  It got out of control.  They tried to make it as hard as they possibly could to leave here and compete."As an insight into the behind the scenes goings on at the highest level of our sport, this two part podcast is a fascinating discussion with one of the most candid, high level names in sailing.  From nationality rules to classes of boat through to race formats and court cases, all told from the perspective of a man who openly admits few people would ever call him diplomatic.

Shirley Robertson kicks of Season 3 of the Podcast with American Magic main man Terry Hutchinson...:Shirley Robertson's Sailing Podcast is here for another Series, and gets underway with this, the first of a two part interview with one of the sport's most decorated skippers.  American sailor Terry Hutchinson has been a world champion sixteen times, he's twice been World Sailor of the Year and has competed in five America's Cup campaigns.  Most recently he lead the New York Yacht Club's return to the Cup as the skipper and Executive Director of AC36 Challengers American Magic.Talking in Auckland after the culmination of the Prada Cup Challenger Series, Hutchinson and Robertson spend much of Part 2 discussing American Magic's campaign at AC36, but kick off the podcast here with tales of Terry's early career, during which he shares an admission that as a school boy in 1983, he skipped class to go and watch Dennis Connor, then sitting at 3-3 against "Australia II" ultimately lose the America's Cup...:"I thought, there's a big race going on and I need to go and watch this so I asked my teacher if I could go to the bathroom, and I just kept walking and walked down to Marmadukes in Eastport and watched Dennis go from winning that race to not winning.  After the race was over I walked back into school and low and behold everyone was wondering where I was, my Mom was there wondering 'what did you do!', and I was 'Race 7 of the America's Cup was going on, I had to go and watch it!'"It was a determination that would see Hutchinson rise through the ranks of the American sailing world, joining Paul Cayard in 2000 as main trimmer on board America One.  The pair discuss Terry's early Cup exploits, including joining the 2003 Stars and Stripes campaign with Dennis Connor...:"I went to his house for dinner, he cooked this incredible chicken curry, and I went to his house and when I walked in, he's got this replica of the America's Cup.  To be considered part of his team, was really an unbelievable compliment." Other Cup highlights in this part include sailing against Alinghi for Emirates Team New Zealand in 2007, and then campaigning with Artemis in the build up to San Francisco 2013, during which time Hutchinson sailed on the radical new Extreme Sailing series.  Robertson and Hutchinson also discuss the phenomenal success of Quantum Racing, the TP52 sailing series and Terry's relationship with team owner Doug DeVoss.Inevitably though, much of the chat centres around the 36th America's Cup, and Terry's recent campaign with American Magic.  In Part 2 Terry reveals how the team  felt about their fellow Challengers heading into the Prada Cup, as they discuss the landscape heading into the start of competition in Auckland.  In a pragmatic and candid discussion, Terry then talks Shirley through the race against Luna Rossa on January 17th, as he reveals the impact of the team's capsize on the campaign...:"In retrospect the thing I regret the most is not chirping up and saying, having the presence of mind to say  'hey, just protect the asset here' because we had a big lead. but the previous leg, we had done the exact same manoeuvre."It's an honest and revealing discussion that takes place at a difficult time for Hutchinson, clearly disappointed at the end result for a team that he feels had a lot more to give at AC36...:This edition of the podcast is in 2 parts and is available to listen to via the podcast page of Shirley’s own website, at www.shirleyrobertson.com/podcast or via most popular podcast outlets, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast and aCast.

Martin Devlin chats to former Team New Zealand and Alinghi helmsman Sir Russell Coutts, now the CEO of Sail GP which gets into its 2nd season overnight in Bermuda, as he talks about what he liked from the 36th Americas Cup as well as what they might try and do slightly differently.  

Peter Burling's former performance coach says an America's Cup victory is almost imminent for Emirates Team New Zealand.The home syndicate is one race away from victory after winning race nine against Luna Rossa yesterday afternoon.Murray Jones is a six-time America's Cup winner, with Team New Zealand, Alinghi and Oracle Team USA.He told Kate Hawkesby Burling was crucial to Team New Zealand's victory in 2017, and will play a pivotal part in its 2021 victory as well."Burling is passionate about the technical side of the boat and has worked on developing the boat to be fast."LISTEN ABOVE

Pour ce seizième épisode de Pos. Report, nous recevons Loïck Peyron, trois participations au Vendée Globe et à la Coupe de l'America (avec Alinghi puis Artemis deux fois) et Sébastien Col, l'un des meilleurs spécialistes français de match-racing, par ailleurs directeur sportif au sein de MerConcept, l'écurie de course au large dirigée par François Gabart.

Max Procopio, esperto di comunicazione e grande conoscitore di vela e di Coppa America, fornisce il suo punto di vista sulle potenzialità degli AC75, del format dell'evento e sul fatto che un buon risultato di Luna Rossa potrà essere un traino per le scuole vela

There were no augmented reality graphics projected on to yesterday's America's Cup broadcast images after a copyright stoush over the technology has led to a protest by the provider.Sir Ian Taylor decided to pull his company's Virtual Eye Live AR feature, which measures the distance between competing boats, for today's Prada Cup event.The graphics protest only lasted yesterday.Taylor's Animation Research company will not provide the technology to media production companies Circle-O and Riedel Communications for the broadcast after they paid a copyright fee to Sir Russell Coutts' competing SailGP company to continue to use the technology.Coutts' SailGP took legal steps earlier this week to stop Sir Ian Taylor's Animation Research graphics being used for the Prada Cup and the America's Cup.Coutts claimed his company owned copyright over the superimposed LiveLine graphics that are overlaid on live footage of racing action.Sir Russell Coutts. Photo / Getty ImagesIn an attempt to resolve the dispute, Circle-O and Riedel Communications yesterday decided to pay an appropriate IP licensing fee to Coutts' SailGP to settle the dispute.But Sir Ian Taylor was not happy with this pay out - insisting SailGP has no right to be paid for the technology."We have been forced to take this step, which will only apply to today's racing, because of the deal that Riedel and CircleO did with the Sir Russell Coutts owned company, SailGP, where they have agreed to pay a License Fee to SailGP for graphics we totally dispute that they own the copyright to," Taylor said today in a written statement."The graphics that were seen on the coverage yesterday are totally original works of ARL and we reject entirely the decisions taken by Riedel and CircleO to pay Sir Russell to give us the rights to use them.""We only found out about the deal when I was contacted by media yesterday asking me about a press release from SailGP that they had come to an agreement with Riedel and CircleO that they had withdrawn their claims because Riedel had paid Sail GP a license fee and in return Riedel and CircleO would now partner with Russell on the SailGP sailing event Russell set up after Emirates Team New Zealand won the Cup off him in Bermuda.""The one thing I agree with Sir Russell is that everyone has the right to protect their intellectual property. We invested $1million on developing this solution, and when you add that to the millions we have spent over the past 30 years, we have a lot to defend."Sir Ian Taylor, the founder of Animation Research. Photo / Dean PurcellInitial High Court action threatThe Herald this week broke the news that Coutts' sailing interests Oracle Racing and F50 League LLC, which trades as SailGP, had alleged copyright infringement over graphics used by Taylor's Animation Research Limited (ARL) during racing last month.The graphics allegedly used were what is known as the LiveLine system of augmented reality broadcasting, which were overlaid on live footage of racing action.The Coutts-led companies threatened High Court action if the graphics were used in broadcasting the 36th America's Cup, which Animation Research has been contracted to provide.The most successful helmsman in America's Cup history said he was wishing to "safeguard the IP [intellectual property] that we invested millions of dollars to develop over the last decade" but preferred not to be forced to use the courts.But Taylor disputes the claim. He says the two Coutts-led companies are asserting copyright based on imagery ARL created in 1992 and that has been used in every America's Cup since then - including in 1995 when Coutts famously made "the America's Cup, New Zealand's Cup"."We have delivered those graphics for events where he has also raced against New Zealand, starting with him taking the Cup away from New Zealand with Alinghi (Switzerland) in 2003 and then winning it off Alinghi for BMW Oracle (USA) in 2010," Taylor said.Taylor, who was recen...

Hervé Borsier a assisté à l’inauguration de la nouvelle structure le vendredi 18 septembre 2020.

Sitting in the hot seat this month for Part One of his chat with double Olympic gold medalist Shirley Robertson is America's Cup Hall of Fame inductee Grant Simmer. Currently in the role of CEO at British Cup hopefuls INEOS TEAM UK, Simmer is into his eleventh Cup campaign, a remarkable feat for a man who's relationship with the oldest trophy in world sport goes back to 1983.As a twenty six year old, Simmer sailed as navigator onboard Australia II in the 26th America's Cup, and was a vital part of John Bertrand's afterguard in the Cup that finally put an and to the longest winning streak in world sport. For one hundred and thirty two years the New York Yacht Club had successfully defended twenty four challenges to the Cup, but Alan Bond's team onboard Australia II finally managed to uproot the trophy and take it back to Australia, to a hero's welcome. Simmer's memories of this time are a remarkable glimpse into what was one of the most historically significant moments in International sport."When we heard that the Prime Minister of Australia was essentially calling a holiday because we'd won this event, everybody was just shocked by the magnitude of what we'd done. I remember thinking 'Wow! He called a holiday! What's that all about,,,? We had the ticker tape parade in Perth, it was quite a big deal."Post AC26 Simmer initially returned to work as an engineer, but was back working with John Bertrand for the 1995 Cup in San Diego. As design coordinator, Simmer was responsible for the build of One Australia's Cup boat, but the outcome of their race against New Zealand in the Challenger Series would become Cup legend."It was quite rough and choppy and there was some debate whether we'd race because it was so windy and I'd been arguing we should race so we can find out what would break. The engineers were a bit nervous, but we raced and famously the boat buckled in the sheerline and broke in half and sank."Simmer's stories from throughout his Cup career are illuminating, and provide a wonderful insight into a life spent chasing one of the most illusive trophies in world sport. From his campaigns with Swiss team Alinghi, through his relationship with Russell Coutts and his time spent campaigning with Oracle Team USA, Grant Simmer has played a pivotal role in the modern America's Cup era, and has an almost unparalleled place in the sport.The pair finish their revealing chat by looking to the future, and the rapidly approaching America's Cup in Auckland, as Simmer discusses his role with Ben Ainslie's Cup team INEOS, and how he hopes his decades of Cup experience will help the British team finally win the the Cup back for a nation that haven't held it since it's very first regatta one hundred and sixty nine years ago.."I am confident that we've made some good decisions, over the past year particularly, so making good decisions at the right time in the campaign is important. Continuing to learn is important and not to be too proud of your decisions, but to understand why other people have made decisions, technically. I always say if you run out money and time at the same time, then you've manage the campaign perfectly."

In un articolo uscito su FT, Sir Ben Ainslie, CEO di INEOS TEAM GB, si parla del budget di Coppa America di vela e di un evento che è cambiato nel tempo

There's not much Sir Russell Coutts hasn't achieved in the sport of modern day yacht racing - from the Olympic Games, Match Racing and America's Cups, he's one of the sport's most successful athletes, but he's also one of sailing's big innovators, a man with a drive and determination to leave his sport in a much better place today, than where it was when he first started competing.On the race course, Coutts was a fierce and ruthless competitor. His early career saw him win an Olympic gold medal and multiple Match Racing World Championships, before an inevitable move to the world of the America's Cup. He successfully challenged and then defended the oldest trophy in world sport for his home nation of New Zealand, but then shocked the sailing world by moving to Swiss challenger Alinghi. By the time Alinghi lifted the Cup in Auckland, Coutts had won it three times, but remarkably had never lost a Cup match. His Cup career then saw another move, to the American BMW Oracle Team, for whom he masterminded two further Cup wins, the last, in 2013, seeing the famous come back from an 8-1 defecit on 72ft foiling multi hulls out on San Francisco Bay, an event watched by millions world wide.Away from the race course, Coutts is seen by many as one of sailing's real visionaries. His drive and determination behind the wheel have transposed to the boardroom, where he has been masterminding the advancement of sailing in a bid to increase it's appeal to a younger generation, and make it a truly viable spectator sport. Most recently Coutts has initiated the exciting Sail GP championships, a series of races held in the world's fastest race boats, but run with a view to the maximisation of broadcasting opportunity and spectator experience.Robertson and Coutts discuss his past, his hopes for the future and his love of the sport in an honest and revealing hour of chat that sees one of the sport's most well known characters clearly demonstrate that after a lifetime spent out on the water, his passion for sailing today is as strong as it's ever been.

Initiée à la voile dans la rade de Marseille, Coraline Jonet a fait une belle carrière en dériveur avant de rencontrer Alinghi à Valencia lors de l’America’s Cup. Depuis, elle n’a plus quitté l’équipe et participe au prestigieux circuit des D35 sur le Léman. Voir Acast.com/privacy pour les informations sur la vie privée et l'opt-out.

American sailor Ed Baird is the man who coached Team New Zealand to victory in the 1995 America's Cup and then two cycles later in 2007 helped defeat the Kiwis as helmsman of the Swiss challenger Alinghi. In the eighties Baird won the Laser and the J24 world championships and in 1995 he won the World Match Racing Championships, and was named the US's Yachtsman of the Year.In recent years Baird has been a regular on the TP52 circuit. As skipper of the American Quantum Racing team he won four seasons of the Audi MedCup and 52 Super Series along with three TP52 World Championships.Now Baird has returned to lead the Quantum Racing crew for the 2019 season and I caught up with him Mahon, Spain during the warm up training session for the first 52 Super Series event of the year.

The 7 times Volvo Ocean Race competitor and first time America's Cup winner talks about the obstacles faced by Emirates Team New Zealand on the road to Bermuda, and spends more than an hour with host Alan Block going over the plans for the next America's Cup in Auckland, NZ. They talk boat choice, venue choice, and much, much more in this long-overdue chat between to bald guys with gravelly voices. Show Notes: 00:00-10:27 Intro 11:27 Who wrote the protocol and explanation of its genesis 13:17 Off-water battles in the Bermuda Cup buildup, and obstacles thrown up by Coutts & friends 14:47 Why should challengers trust you to be more fair as organizer than the America's Cup Event Authority were to ETNZ? 15:34 “The most ridiculous stacking of the deck in modern times came from Alinghi" 15:57 How much has Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron been involved in the protocol process? 16:57 About the Cup's national NZ road show coming up 18:07 Why is it OK to take the Cup to a boat show but not a car show? 18:57 How the RNZYS will help lessen the load for Dalton and the TNZ staff. 20:57 What information did you base your decision to go to a monohull? What's the real motivation? 25:57 The density of breeze in Auckland and the frailty of the Cup cats. Dalts: "16 knots here would pull an AC50 to pieces" 26:41 On NZ's huge tech advantage in Bermuda. “For the life of me I can't figure out how all the other teams were so far behind us" 26:57 How keeping the AC50 would almost definitely guarantee another TNZ win 28:07 How many concepts are being considered for the actual boat? Are ETNZ consulting with other potential challengers besides Luna Rossa? 30:03 Does the design rule schedule mean TNZ and Luna Rossa get an unreasonable head start over other challengers? 30:57 Why can't you say whether or not the boat will lift out of the water? 31:57 Would you lose Glenn and Burling and the other speed junkie tech heads if you go to a heavier, more conventional type of boat? 32:47 Ashby's huge beard and his two months on walkabout 34:07 Dalts' motorcycle crash in the Isle of Man TT 36:02 Bicycle grinders and the openness of the AC36 design rule. "We have no intention of banning bicycles" 38:52 Box rules vs open Rules, and the element in the next AC of "one-design supplied parts”. Don't want to stop innovation in areas that can help the average yacht racer, eventually. 41:30 Clean's disappointment with the residency requirement, and Dalts explanation of what he thinks people are misunderstanding about the new nationality/residency rule. 43:24 Finding the balance between a rule that would exclude many countries and one that will help reduce the mercenary culture in the sport, and how to get teams to look to their own countrymen first for crew. 48:07 Dalts: "They commit to a team and a country rather than a worldwide circus where they're guns for hire to an owner who doesn't realize he's getting ripped off" 48:57 Surrogate boats, regatta schedules, and high entry fees for the pre-regattas. "This will allow us to create a financial pool so we don't have to be beholden to a city for funds.” Dalton says ACWS events were driven by venue fees in bad places or at bad times for sailing. “Make it great for the yachties, and the rest is easy." 52:27 With the residency requirements and lack of venue certainty right now, how does ETNZ ensure teams spend enough time in Auckland to justify the money the venue will have to spend to prepare for the Cup? 53:42 Dalts' sample schedule for Challengers. 57:12 Is the Italian Option really just Dalts holding Auckland's feet to the fire? What's with the natural disaster thing? 59:05 Two boat testing for ETNZ and no one else? How about a defender challenge? 60:58 There are ways around two-boat bans, but it might not help anyone. Dalts: "SoftBank was Oracles B boat, but they couldn't get it up to speed fast enough" 61:42 Fan questions begin: Soft sails or hard sails? Hybrids? 62:51 Limiting electronics? More PlayStation type controls? Dalts analogy for ac35: "Oracle were still a mobile phone and we were a supercomputer" 64:27 Sailhandling, stored power and the team's philosophical problem with combustion engines on AC boats. 65:37 What happened with the AC34 and 35 Facebook pages and videos? Were they stolen? 67:06 IF you can get the media back, will you publish all the video from those Cups for free to the world? 67:57 who owns the Liveline graphics system and do you intend to have them back in the mix for the worldwide audience? 69:02 Free to air distribution for AC36! 74:37 Omega time, Swiss Timing, and how am entirely new graphics system might be going into the AC46 broadcast 76:27 Entry period closes before venue announced. How is that ok? (Answer, it might not be). 77:57 What are you looking to get from Auckland and the NZ government to make the event possible? 80:01 How much will a basic, unembarassing campaign cost? "People will still spend 160 million" to try to win 81:38 Biggest sponsorship mistake made by most campaigns 82:57 Happy to see Louis Vuitton go, or will you miss them? 84:07 Burlington vs Tuke, Mark Turner's shock departure from the Volvo Ocean Race, and Dalts' picks for the 2017 VOR 86:42 Uniting the major races, World Sailing, and where the sport is headed at the pinnacle. 87:42 Exactly what they're releasing in November and how Dalts will judge whether it was the kind of technological success he hopes for. 88:47 What's by far the most read site in New Zealand (guess?), AC Anarchist Stingray gets a shoutout, and out.

40. Will McCarthy seglar ombord på superyatchen Ganesha tillsammans med podoraklet Henke. Härom veckan campade dom ihop under St:Barths Bucket regatta och Will som vunnit America's cup tre gånger berättar om Alinghi och senaste cupen med Oracle. Ni mins den historiska vändningen från att ligga under med 8-1 till att vinna America's cup 8-9 samt en hel del annat om superyatchsegling och snabba Rambler 88. Inte missa!

Thousands turned out to witness the Extreme 40s race on one of the most impressive stadiums the Series has ever visited on Saturday (7 July). The 'apprentices' on the circuit SAP Extreme Sailing Team were at the centre of most of the day's action -- including a collision with Oman Air which saw Jes Gram Hansen, the Danish skipper of SAP Extreme Sailing Team, launched into the water. Gram Hansen talked us through what happened in that race, and also spoke about his winning tactics in the final race on the penultimate day in Porto.

Double Olympic gold medallist Hagara was chipping away at the leaderboard all day in Porto on day 2, steadily narrowing the gap between him and his French rivals on Groupe Edmond de Rothschild. Race 16 of the event was where Hagara started to make real in-roads leading his Austrian team to a race win, while the French could only muster an eighth. That set the tone for the final race of the day, and when Groupe Edmond de Rothschild careered into submerged rocks, forcing them to retire, that ultimately paved the way for Hagara to leapfrog them on the leaderboard and go into the penultimate day in second place. We went onboard with him and his team in race 16 and got his analysis after. http://extremesailingseries.com

Red Bull Sailing Team Skipper Roman Hagara is hard on himself as he analysizes race 22 of the Extreme Sailing Series in Istanbul - a blip in a near perfect day for the Austrian team who lead going into the final day of Act 3. http://www.extremesailingseries.com/

In Istanbul we have seen The Wave, Muscat and Red Bull Sailing Team trade places at the top of the leader board for four days, until the penultimate race of the event. Leigh McMillan, skipper of The Wave, Muscat analyses the race that he felt decided the overall event. http://www.extremesailingseries.com

Great tactics from Morgan Larson on Oman Air saw his team sail to victory in the Extreme Sailing Series race 3 on day 2 in Istanbul. He talks us through how they did it. http://www.extremesailingseries.com/
