A 48 ans, Virginie Bouchet est la responsable marketing et communication de France SailGP, un univers radicalement différent de celui de la course au large, dans lequel elle a baigné pendant quinze ans. "C'est assez fascinant, ça ne se compare pas avec le reste, je me suis plongée dans le marketing et le fait de travailler en anglais constamment est aussi un petit défi", commente-t-elle.Cette ancienne Parisienne, entière et spontanée, commence dans la communication dans les univers du sport et du tourisme, avant de se voir confier le projet Orma Brossard, qui va être synonyme de nouveau départ dans sa vie. Elle débute ainsi dans la voile avec les années Orma, puis s'immerge dans les records, dont le Trophée Jules Verne, en travaillant avec Banque Populaire, partage la vie d'un skipper, avec lequel elle aura deux enfants, épaule Sam Davies sur la préparation de son Vendée Globe en 2012, fait partie de l'organisation de la Route du Rhum...Elle raconte aussi avoir beaucoup appris au contact de Dona Bertarelli ,en sept ans passés au sein de l'écurie Spindrift : "Elle m'a vraiment formée à l'excellence". Une formation qui n'est pas de trop pour répondre aux exigences élevées d'un circuit SailGP qui ne cesse de grandir.Navigantes est animé par Hélène Cougoule et produit par SailorzPrésenté par PaprecDiffusé le 10 décembre 2025Post production : Théo LevillainGénérique : All the summer girlsHébergé par Ausha.

Issu d'une famille emblématique de la voile française, Antoine Carpentier a construit depuis trente ans une carrière aussi discrète qu'immense : triple vainqueur de la Transat Jacques Vabre, triple vainqueur du Tour de France à la voile, quintuple vainqueur du Fastnet - entre autres.Fils de Jean-Michel et neveu de Patrice Carpentier, il grandit entre La Trinité-sur-Mer et les pontons de la SNT avant de devenir un équipier recherché. De l'habitable en baie de Quiberon au Tour de France à la voile, il s'impose très tôt comme un régatier complet, capable d'évoluer sur tous les postes et tous les supports.Dans cet épisode, il revient longuement sur cette trajectoire singulière, façonnée par une culture de l'équipage et un goût prononcé pour les projets collectifs. Devenu pro presque naturellement après es études, il raconte ses années structurantes en ORMA au début des années 2000, puis l'aventure exceptionnelle de Courrier Dunkerque, avec Daniel Souben, où il remporte plusieurs Tours de France à la voile. Une période qu'il décrit comme la plus formatrice de sa carrière, tant l'exigence y était élevée.Au fil des saisons, il glisse vers le large : premières transats en Class40, découverte du solitaire, et une série remarquable de résultats. Trois victoires consécutives sur la Transat Jacques Vabre – deux en Class40 (2017 et 2021), une en Ocean Fifty (2019) – assoient définitivement son statut de marin polyvalent, capable de briller aussi bien en multicoque qu'en monocoque. Il évoque aussi ses deux Routes du Rhum, 7e puis 5e, en Class40 - sans cacher sa préférence pour le duo ou l'équipage - des saisons où il déroge un peu à sa règle : naviguer beaucoup, sur de nombreux supports, pour apprendre et progresser, encore et toujours.Aujourd'hui, à 50 ans, Antoine navigue en Class40 aux côtés de Ian Lipinski sur Crédit Mutuel depuis 2023 et s'apprête à poursuivre la Globe 40, le tour du monde en Class40 en double. L'entretien se referme sur une réflexion plus personnelle : celle d'un marin comblé, conscient du temps qui passe, partagé entre sa passion intacte pour la compétition, l'envie de transmettre et un rapport lucide à la vie de famille. Un parcours dense, simple et droit, à l'image du marin.Diffusé le 14 novembre 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Il fût longtemps un technicien de haut vol ; il occupe désormais une place centrale dans l'écosystème de la course au large. Président de l'Imoca depuis 2017, Antoine Mermod, 48 ans, élu par les coureurs, dirige la classe phare des monocoques de 60 pieds. Il a commencé par l'habitable à La Trinité-sur-Mer où la famille passe ses vacances, alors véritable Mecque de la voile dans les années 1990-2000. Étudiant en école d'ingénieur, il se forme au contact de Bruno Peyron, multiplie les coups de main et les expériences avant de plonger dans l'univers des Orma. Avec Karine Fauconnier chez Sergio Tacchini puis au sein du Gitana Team, il vit de l'intérieur l'âge d'or des trimarans de 60 pieds, à une époque où peu d'équipes disposent de bureaux d'études intégrés.Il a à peine 30 ans et déjà beaucoup d'expérience quand il vit son premier Vendée Globe avec Gitana 80 : il dissèque la jauge et découvre les émotions puissantes d'un tour du monde. Il renouvellera l'expérience en 2016-2017 en construisant No Way Back et en gérant le projet de Pieter Heerema. Entre-temps, il est directeur technique des 5 Imoca de la Fnob sur la Barcelona World Race, 2011 puis rejoint les frères Peyron pour participer à l'aventure Energy Team dans la Coupe de l'America.Il est élu président de l'Imoca au printemps 2017, à l'issue du premier Vendée Globe des foilers, lorsque partisans et opposants à la monotypie s'affrontent : l'ingénieur passionné par les protos se retrouve président d'une association de coureurs. Sous sa houlette, l'Imoca va se transformer en une véritable ligue professionnelle (une dizaine de collaborateurs, 1,7 million d'euros de budget), profitant de l'engouement pour le Vendée Globe 2020-2021 et du choix par The Ocean Race - sur sa proposition - de faire des Imoca le support de ses épreuves en équipage.Prochain objectif : faire en sorte que les coureurs, qui prennent tous les risques, vivent mieux de leur sport. Et continuer à vivre les émotions si uniques d'un tour du monde...Diffusé le 21 Mai 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Previously on Saga of the Jewels…The life of seventeen-year-old RYN, bookish son of a wealthy landowner, changes forever when his hometown is destroyed by the EMPIRE and everyone he has ever known is killed. Ryn discovers that the Empire are seeking TWELVE PRIMEVAL JEWELS which grant the power to manipulate different elements, and that his father had been hiding the FIRE RUBY. He sets out to take revenge on the Imperial General who killed his family and retrieve the Fire Ruby, and along the way meets NUTHEA the lightning-slinging princess, SAGAR the swaggering skypirate, ELRANN the tomboy engineer, CID the wizened old healer, and VISH the poppy-seed-addicted bounty hunter. Together the companions decide to find all of the Jewels in order to stop the evil EMPEROR from finding them first and taking over the world. They have thus far succeeded in retrieving the Fire Ruby, borne by Ryn, and the Lightning Crystal, borne by Nuthea. They have now come to the land of FARR where they intend to compete in a hand-to-hand fighting tournament in order to attempt to win its prize, the EARTH EMERALD…EPISODE THIRTY-THREE: THE PRINCESS AND THE DRAGONOne night before the Tournament.Ryn sat down next to Nuthea on one of the simple wooden chairs.Around them, about a hundred or so people were sitting on their own chairs too. The hubbub of the chattering crowd enveloped them like a warm blanket.The wooden seat was hard and uncomfortable, but Ryn barely noticed it. His pulse was quick inside his head and his heart fluttered about inside his chest. It was all he had been able to afford from the common purse, anyway. The balconies had been far too expensive.I'm out on a date with a princess, he thought. No, a Queen. We may not be ‘exploring the possibility of a romantic relationship', but that's still what this is. We're spending time with each other just to spend time with each other.He was terrified.Don't mess this up.He was keenly aware of her presence at her side, like a fire burning in his peripheral vision. Should he say something? Was he meant to say something? He didn't know what to say.He didn't even know if he should be looking at her. Were there even any ‘shoulds' in this situation? Instead, he stared straight ahead.Over the many heads of the people sat in front of them–mainly short, stocky, tanned Farrians, but also people from other countries–he could see the raised wooden stage at the front of the room. At the moment it was bare and unoccupied, though on the wall at the back of it had been depicted a forest of tall trees with thick trunks and curved, finger-like branches reaching up to the ceiling of the play-house, bedecked with myriad painted-green leaves.“Tell me what this play is about again, Ryn?” said Nuthea next to him.A bolt of shock spasmed through Ryn and he nearly fell off his seat. He coughed on purpose and tried to make it look like it was the cough that had unsettled him, but he wasn't sure how successfully he managed it.He glanced at her. She was still expecting an answer from him, her eyebrows raised quizzically.“Er,” he said. “I'm not entirely sure. It's called ‘The Princess and the Dragon'. It looked pretty good from the poster–it had a very detailed picture of a fire-breathing dragon and an armoured knight fighting it.” Ryn had liked that. That had been what persuaded him to change plans from taking Nuthea to a tavern to taking her to a play. That and the fact that Sagar was going with Elrann to a tavern and he didn't want to accidentally end up in the same one. “All I know is that it's being put on by a traveling theatre troupe that just got into Shun Pei. They're meant to be very good. They're called the ‘Manniro' or something.”“Oh, the Manyiro!” Nuthea corrected him. Of course she knew the proper pronunciation. Of course she had heard of them before. “I've seen them perform many times in the palace when they were passing through Orma!”Poodoo. Ryn had dared to hope that he had found something special that Nuthea had never experienced before.Perhaps sensing his disappointment, Nuthea said “They are excellent. The Manyiro are a traveling people group who make their living by performing plays. They're the best at what they do in the whole of Mid. Have you never seen a Manyiro performance?”“Er…” Ryn decided he might as well tell the truth. “...no. I don't think they ever came to Cleasor…” He had seen plays, of course, and been in silly little ones put on in his schoolhouse or the village hall. But no, he had never seen a Mid-famous traveling play-acting people-group perform before. Of course Nuthea had.“Well you are in for a treat,” said Nuthea. “I love watching the Manyiro perform. They are masters of their craft. This will be a great way to relax and take our minds off things before the Tournament. Good choice, Ryn.”Ryn brightened a little at that. He wanted so much for Nuthea to enjoy this. He also wanted so much to tell her how he felt about her…but one thing at a time.“Have you seen this particular play?” he asked her, wary.“No, I don't think I've ever seen ‘The Princess and the Dragon.'”Phew. That was something, at least. “Well, the poster for it looked really good.” Idiot. You said that already. Or something like that, anyway…Their conversation lulled. Ryn looked at the empty stage again. When was this play going to start?He cast around in his mind for something else to talk to her about. He couldn't risk Nuthea growing bored. She had to enjoy this evening. This evening with him. Especially if she ever ended up going to a tavern with Sagar as well…But his mind had gone blank. What should he say to her?He remembered something. Something that he had been wondering about for a while. Yes, he could try that.“Nuthea?”“Yes?”“When you project lightning, why do you shout the word ‘bolt'?”“Ah, yes.” She appeared to take this as a signal to switch into lecture mode, but Ryn didn't mind–at least she would be talking, which would buy him time to come up with more interesting things to say. “That's called a ‘focus-word'. They're not essential to use to project your element, but those who train in the use of Jewel-gifts usually end up employing them. You will find that when your mind is more focused, concentrated, or engaged, you will ‘spell' (if you call it that—everyone has different names for it) more effectively and powerfully. So one technique that was developed very early on was to utter a word around which to focus the mind when you are ‘spelling', or projecting, or manipulating your element, or whatever you want to call it. Naturally, the best word to use is the word most closely associated with whatever it is that you are projecting. So, when I am projecting a lightning bolt, I shout ‘bolt'. I would have taught you about focus-words before, but you seemed to be using them anyway.”“That's right…” Ryn said, thinking back to the first time he had manifested fire, in his hometown, Cleasor, the day the Empire had attacked. “When I projected for the first time, I shouted ‘fire!' when I did it, as far as I can remember. I just did it, without having to be told to do it. And I've been doing it instinctively, ever since then.”“There you go,” said Nuthea, nodding approvingly at him like a pleasing pupil. “See? That is your focus-word for projecting your element, naturally.”“But sometimes I've noticed you say the word but you don't finish it properly—it changes into a sort of shout.”Nuthea's nod became knowing rather than merely approving. “Yes, that does happen too. When you are casting a large spell—channelling large amounts of mana—the focus word is even more helpful and necessary to keep the element under your control, but it can be hard to get all of it out because the toll on the body from the projection is so great. So sometimes when I cast a particularly large lightning bolt, or series of lightning bolts, I lose control and the word loses its shape… I'm working on it, but at the use of certain levels of magic it becomes virtually possible not to let out a shout or even a scream at the end of the word. So sometimes it sounds a bit like ‘boltah' or ‘boltaragh' or even ‘boltagah'.”Ryn pondered this. “Thanks, that actually makes a lot of sense. I guess I should carry on using focus words to help me focus my ‘fire'.”“Absolutely. Captain Sagar and Grandfather Cid use them too—I'm sure you've heard them. I don't know if Sagar was ever taught to use them–he probably just uses them on instinct too–but I'm sure Cid has specifically trained in using them. And as you practice and train and get stronger and more proficient in your gift and your mana capacity grows, you may find yourself developing different projection techniques as well, for which you may want to use different focus words. I haven't developed any myself yet but I know Grandfather has several, for different techniques in manipulation of the element of light which gives energy to all living things: ‘cure', ‘heal, ‘syphon, even just ‘raise'. He has been practicing for a long time and has a very large mana pool. He is very proficient in his gift.”“I think I may have actually starting doing that already…” Ryn realised out loud. “Once when I fought Vorr on the train in Imfis I suddenly found myself shouting ‘fireburst' and I projected this really big and hot flame attack... It was more flame than I had ever projected before, and possibly ever have since. In fact, I don't think I've ever managed to project fire with the same intensity and ferocity since then… I can't quite explain it; it's still fire, but it's like it comes from a different part of me, a deeper, more desperate part of me…”“Aha,” said Nuthea, her eyes lighting up like a teacher unlocking a revelation in a star pupil. “That was certainly a different focus word and technique, but it may also have been what we call a ‘limit break'.”Ryn's brow crinkled. “A limit break? You mentioned that once before. What's a limit break?”Lecturing just came so naturally to Nuthea. “‘Limit break' is the name that people have given to another kind of elemental projection, when you are absolutely exhausted, or hurt, or wounded, or depleted of mana, but you need to project for whatever reason, usually because you are fighting for your life, and you intuitively draw on your soul's deepest, hiddenmost reservoirs of mana to unleash a massive, unprecedentedly powerful attack. It's a known phenomenon. It's actually a sign that you are progressing in your projection, because in the long term it increases your mana capacity and proficiency in your gift. But in the short term, after the attack is spent, it leaves you completely exhausted. It's like destroying a muscle only for it to grow back stronger—the best way to train and get stronger. That's why it's been called a ‘limit break'—because when it happens you go past your mana capacity limit and ‘break it', but then once you have recovered it means your mana limit is permanently bigger afterwards.”Ryn nodded. “That makes sense too… After the time I used my fireburst on Vorr, I was definitely exhausted, until Cid healed me. But once I was healed, I somehow felt stronger, and my fire has come even more easily since then. Thanks Nuthea, you've explained a lot to me.”“No problem at all.” The princess's blue eyes glittered. “I'm quite jealous of you, actually. I've never actually performed a ‘limit break' myself yet, even when I've been in life-threatening situations. Even when…even when my mother died.” She paused for a moment and Ryn worried she was about to start crying, but then she swallowed and carried on talking. “I've had to rely on increasing in skill solely through the regular kind of practice, which still works more slowly, but doesn't provide the big leaps forward that limit breaks can give. And I can't even do that lately, because… Well, never mind. You really are doing very well in your training with your gift, Ryn.”Ryn was about to ask her why she couldn't train in the regular way with her gift at the moment but then she smiled at him brightly, and his heart nearly broke its limit.A hush fell upon the playhouse all of a sudden and the chattering of the rest of the audience died away.In his reverie, Ryn's first thought was that somehow the whole world had gone quiet before Nuthea's smiling beauty, but then he heard someone behind them whisper “Shhh! It's starting!” to their neighbour, who had still been talking quietly, and he realised that the play was finally beginning.A man walked onto the stage and stood front and centre, facing the audience. He was very tall–well over seven feet, Ryn reckoned–and well muscled, with tanned skin, a strong chin and blue curls that came down to his shoulders.A flash of insecurity twinged in Ryn's chest. What had he been thinking? Surely this was the sort of man that Nuthea would be attracted to, that she was destined to end up marrying. Not a naive pussywillow greenhorn farmboy.The man was even dressed in the part of a princely suitor. In a royal blue tabard thrown over shining chainmail visible on his arms, and with a spiked golden crown to top it all off, he looked like one of the Kings of Old Efstan.Ryn fidgeted in his seat.The actor-king held his hands up–a gesture with which he brought the audience to total silence, commanding the room, capturing the attention of everyone in it. He launched into his opening soliloquy.“Ladies and gentlemen!” spoke the man in an affected and well-educated voice, so loudly that it resounded clearly through the whole playhouse. “My, but thou art in for a treat tonight! Travel with me, if thou wilt, to the ancient island kingdom of Efstan, where our tale takes place tonight. In this tale, I, Zigfrid Alanthreonusson, First Among The Manyiro, shall play Prince Pendafigion of Efstan, famed Dragon Slayer of old. In the course of the action I shall rescue the fair maiden Princess Frionessa, played by Riss Aronwy, from the clutches of the foul and fell drake Kandraug. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give thee: The Princess and the Dragon!”He bowed, then made a subservient, flowing gesture with his hand as he walked backwards to the right off the stage.A moment later a couple of different male actors strode onstage dressed in peasants' clothing, beginning some kind of banterous dialogue in the same poor imitation of an Old Middish dialect that ‘Zigfrid Alanthreonusson' had used.At this point Ryn stopped paying attention to what they were saying. He had too much else on his mind to think about.He risked a sidelong look to his left at Nuthea. She was completely transfixed by the play, that huge smile still spread on her face but now directed toward the stage, utterly oblivious to Ryn sneaking a look at her to check how she was finding it. He was glad she was enjoying it at least.Could I ever make it with Nuthea? he thought to himself again. She's not just a pretend play-princess, she's a real-life princess. Or am I just deluding myself here? Was she attracted to that actor who was on before? What am I doing here? I should be training for the tournament, practicing my flames, getting better at swords with Cid, not wasting my time here trying to court a princess I won't ever have a chance with…The play rambled on with the two peasant-men continuing their dialogue, setting the scene and warming the audience up, Ryn supposed. They got a few chuckles and chortles from some of their more obvious jokes. Ryn didn't see what all the fuss was about, really. So these were meant to be the greatest players in the whole of Mid? They weren't that different from the amateur players he had seen at home, really… Sure, their costumes were very well-done and detailed, and their script had probably been honed for hours on end, and they had probably learned all their lines perfectly off by heart, and they were quite convincing in their performances, and these two were now getting quite a few laughs from the audience but…so what?Maybe Ryn was just being bitter…The lead actress walked on.He knew she was the lead because she was dressed like a princess. She wore a long flowing pale-green gown with sleeves that came down to her hands, a sparkling necklace made of diamonds–fake or real, Ryn couldn't tell–and a crown of her own, a yellow-gold tiara much like the circlet that Nuthea wore, only more ornate with a raised front inlaid with coloured gemstones.In the case of this actress, however, that was where her princesslyness ended. She actually looked a bit too young to be the counterpart of the male lead, barely a teenager, and certainly too young to be playing his romantic interest.There was also something distinctly…off about her. As she walked stiffly to the centre of the stage, an awkward grimace barely concealed from her face underneath her bob of shocking green hair, it didn't take Ryn very long to work out that she was feeling uncomfortable and that she didn't want to be there. Either that or the character she was playing was supposed to be feeling awkward and uncomfortable, but somehow Ryn doubted that. It would help for figuring it out either way if she had had any lines yet, but she hadn't.What's the deal with this actress?She had stopped in the middle of the stage, but facing to the right, the same pained, slightly scared expression still on her face.The audience was silent, but not because of her charisma. She didn't have any. Maybe everyone else was also curious as to what this young girl who apparently couldn't act very well was doing on the stage in a Manyiro play.The actress's eyes fluttered very slightly, Ryn noticed.From the right of the stage, on walked a dragon.Ryn gasped along with the rest of the audience, everyone sucking the air out of the room all at once.The dragon didn't look like it was made out of any kind of material or like there were any people inside it. It was covered all over in glistening green scales that glittered brilliantly in the light from the candles in the chandelier that hung from the ceiling of the playhouse. About the height of two men and the length of two chocobos, it had four legs that ended in vicious black claws which gripped the wood of the stage, two wide wings tucked into its flanks, and a long snout filled with interlocking, knife-sharp teeth, from which a wicked forked red tongue flashed out moment by moment. Set in its head, underneath a pair of curved, dark horns, were two massive, golden-pupiled eyes that had personality behind them.It looked utterly real. In fact, Ryn was pretty sure that it was real.How had the Manyiro players managed this? How had they caught and tamed a dragon to perform for them?In response to the dragon's appearance, the princess-actress fell back to the ground in ‘shock'. She still did it in a wooden way though, like it was a pre-rehearsed fall, and her mouth hung artificially open in an expression of pretend surprise.The audience didn't seem to care. Instead, they sat enrapt, in full silence, just like Ryn was.Nuthea looked as enrapt as everyone else.Ryn's curiosity got the better of him. He leaned over towards her a little and whispered, as quietly as he could manage while still being heard by her, “That's amazing. How do you think they're doing that?”To Ryn's surprise Nuthea turned to look at him, wrenched away from her fascination at the spectacle. The colour had drained from her face; her eyes were stuck wide.“Not ‘they'; ‘she',” the princess said. “Ryn, I think that girl is Jewel-touched.” This is a public episode.

Normalement, on évite d'évoquer l'âge des dames. Mais, voilà, Marie Tabarly a 40 ans, et on le souligne parce qu'à cet âge-là, si tout va bien, on est devenu soi-même - et c'est précisément le cas. De sa filiation particulière, la fille d'Eric en parle très simplement : le regard des autres, quelques facilités et beaucoup de devoirs. De la mer, des bateaux, des marins, du large et des chevaux, Marie en parle encore mieux.Sur le papier, un sillage d'héritière l'attendait ; dans les faits, elle a trace depuis toujours sa propre route. D'abord, au début des années 2000 dans le monde de la course, chez Banque Pop époque Orma puis à bord de Geronimo avec Olivier de Kersauson où elle s'éclate, avant une tentative avortée de devenir figariste. Puis, son autre passion prend le dessus, celle du cheval. Elle sera comportementaliste équine, après des études en France et aux Etats-Unis, au secours des relations entre chevaux et cavaliers.Mais la mer n'est jamais loin, et aux supports contemporains, elle préfère, à partir du début des années 2010, la voile classique et la bande de Mariska, avec qui elle écume avec succès le circuit des 15 M JI. Les bateaux de la famille ne sont pas oubliés et elle lance en 2017 Elemen'terre Project avec Pen Duick VI - qu'elle appelle tout simplement "le six".

In this week's chapters, Raven and Jess finally learn the origin story of the world's scariest villain, Jannoula. Will Raven's theory be proven right, or will she be embarrassed into quitting the show? Other topics include: the novel's confusing dragon sizes, the goofy way that dragons run in our brains, being volun-told to waddle through dragon dung, and whether doodoo would work as fuel for cars.Create a podcast with Buzzsprout and get a $20 Amazon gift card with our link!https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=289148Thanks so much for listening!

Ce 181e épisode de Pos. Report reçoit le skipper du Maxi Edmond de Rothschild, Charles Caudrelier, à quelques jours du départ de la deuxième édition de la Finistère Atlantique, course en équipage en Ultim, qui sera donné le 28 septembre de Concarneau à destination d'Antibes.Le vainqueur de l'Arkea Ultim Challenge-Brest commence par raconter comment il s'est remis de cette première autour du monde en solitaire en Ultim, confiant avoir vite retrouvé la motivation grâce à la perspective du futur Gitana 18, qui l'a bien occupé ces derniers mois (et continue à l'occuper).Il rentre ensuite dans les détails de ce trimaran actuellement en construction chez CDK, dont la mise à l'eau est prévue dans un an, annonçant quelques surprises, entre plateforme et appendices testés sur un simulateur interne, qui devraient, selon lui, permettre de franchir un pas important en termes de performances par rapport à l'actuel Maxi Edmond de Rothschild.Charles Caudrelier explique ensuite que depuis la remise à l'eau de ce dernier, en juillet, l'équipage a navigué une vingtaine de jours, équipage qu'il passe en revue, se réjouissant notamment d'accueillir à bord des regards neufs, avec Julien Villion et Benjamin Schwartz.Nous parlons ensuite de la deuxième édition de la Finistère Atlantique, le skipper du Maxi Edmond de Rothschild se réjouissant de retourner en Méditerranée, comme à l'époque des Orma. Il vise bien évidemment une nouvelle victoire (il avait remporté la première en juillet 2022), même s'il sait que la concurrence se rapproche, avec notamment un parcours qui pourrait, selon lui, favoriser SVR Lazartigue, plus léger.Nous finissons par parler d'avenir, le grand objectif à terme de Charles Caudrelier et du Gitana Team étant la défense de leur titre sur la Route du Rhum 2026. Et après ? Le skipper ne semble plus écarter une participation à la deuxième édition de l'Arkea Ultim Challenge-Brest, “à condition que l'envie soit là”.Diffusé le 24 septembre 2024Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecordsPost-production : Grégoire Levillain Hébergé par Ausha.

De Charles Caudrelier, grand vainqueur, à Armel Le Cléac'h, troisième, en passant par Thomas Coville, deuxième ; revivez leurs carrières à travers ces épisodes enregistrés le 18 septembre 2018 pour Charles Caudrelier, le 1er avril 2020 pour Armel Le Cléac'h et le 1er janvier 2022 pour Thomas Coville.-- Quand on s'assoit face à lui après avoir installé les micros, on sait qu'on va en avoir pour son argent... et qu'il faut se caler confortablement. Car Thomas Coville, 53 ans, est un marin éclectique, doublé d'un formidable conteur.L'invité idéal, donc, pour fêter ce 50e épisode d'Into The Wind : un épisode exceptionnel en trois parties pour six heures d'interview - avec une pause déjeuner au milieu, rassurez-vous - mais nous n'avons pas vu le temps passer !Thomas Coville, boulimique de la mer et des bateaux, a couru sur presque tous les supports et sur toutes les mers, en plus de trois décennies d'une carrière d'une rare intensité. A part la voile olympique, c'est bien simple, il a touché à tout.Première diffusion le 21 janvier 2022Rediffusé le 1er mars 2024Le Tour de France à la voile ?

Dear reader,The big fantasy book news from the last month all has to do with the annual Hugo Awards. Last year they happened in China, but some emails were recently leaked showing that the nominations were influenced by consideration of the ideology of the host nation. Controversial! News to me also is that ‘romantasy' (romance combined with fantasy) is now being discussed as a genre in its own right. Your romantasy exemplar authors would be Sarah J. Mass and Rebecca Yarros. SAGA OF THE JEWELS does have some (albeit very slow-burn) elements of romance in it, so I am wondering if I can cheekily piggyback on this label myself…What I've been readingOne of the books I've read since my last newsletter is COLD IRON, the first fantasy by historical novelist Miles (Christian) Cameron. It was fun, with fantastic worldbuilding, if a bit ‘male' and thinly sketched, for me. My slightly longer review here.What Jo's been readingSome of the books that Jo's read since I last wrote are the rest of the ensemble-cast multi-POV steampunk noblebright KETTY JAY series by Chris Wooding. She had already read RETRIBUTION FALLS and THE BLACK LUNHG CAPTAIN and she went and finished THE IRON JACKAL and THE ACE OF SKULLS. I have read these too and agree with her that they are absolutely awesome: fun, full of heart, meticulously clever plotting, vibrant three-dimensional characters, humour, emotion, and a hopeful core. This newsletter sometimes becomes the Chris Wooding Appreciation Society newsletter, but I'm ok with that… Recommended! In other news…Jo had her first book traditionally published! And by Bloomsbury, no less! This is her Cambridge (UK) Theology PhD thesis, now published as a hardback and an ebook. She wrote it while simultaneously training to be and then working as an Anglican vicar (that's ‘cleric' for you fantasy fans) and putting up with an unstable husband, and in the course of writing it had two bouts of hyperemesis gravidarum and gave birth to two children! She then passed her viva voce exam for it with no corrections!If you don't know, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a 20th-century German theologian who was imprisoned and executed by the Nazis for his involvement in a plot to assassinate Hitler. ‘Polyphony' is a musical term to do with multiple mutually complementary melodies in a piece of music and a ‘pneumatology' is a conceptual system for talking about the Holy Spirit, the third person in God, in Christianity.If that doesn't convince you to buy this book (or at least ask your local academic institution to buy it), then nothing will I don't know what will! An absolute steal currently on sale for £76.50 in hardback or £61.50 for the ebook!That's all for this month, though as ever do check out the indie fantasy book sale of the month and this month's SAGA OF THE JEWELS episode below or on the podcast.TTFN,Faenon / LukeYour indie fantasy FREE ARC book promotion for this month:Click here or the picture below /Now, on with the Saga…Need to catch up? The WHOLE of Book One (Episodes 1 to 21) is available bundled together as a FREE AUDIOBOOK here.Previously on Saga of the Jewels…The life of seventeen-year-old RYN, bookish son of a wealthy landowner, changes forever when his hometown is destroyed by the EMPIRE and everyone he has ever known is killed. Ryn discovers that the Empire are seeking TWELVE PRIMEVAL JEWELS which grant the power to manipulate different elements, and that his father had been hiding the FIRE RUBY. He sets out to take revenge on the Imperial General who killed his family and retrieve the Fire Ruby, and along the way meets NUTHEA the lightning-slinging princess, SAGAR the swaggering skypirate, ELRANN the tomboy engineer, CID the wizened old healer, and VISH the poppy-seed-addicted bounty hunter. Together the adventurers decide to find all of the Jewels in order to stop the EMPEROR from finding them first and taking over the world. They have thus far succeeded in retrieving the Fire Ruby, now borne by Ryn, and the Lightning Crystal, now borne by Nuthea. They now find themselves traveling by airship to the distant land of FARR in order to seek out the next Jewel of which they have become aware, the EARTH EMERALD…SAGA OF THE JEWELS EPISODE 24: THE CROSSROADS OF THE EASTRyn stood at the rail of Wanderlust's maindeck and looked out onto the sea of clouds.The clouds were thick here, on their fourth day of travel, allegedly somewhere over Farr and nearing Shun-Pei every moment. Interlacing strands of white and grey dashed past beneath the ship, mostly obscuring the pale blue of the Farrian sky.Just occasionally, he imagined for a brief moment jumping over the rail and into them.Sorrow still weighed down Ryn's heart. It had helped, forgiving Nuthea, General Vorr, and himself, for everything that had happened. Even killing Vorr had helped, in a way, though it had been the forgiveness that had really helped him, in the end...But in his dreams he still saw the faces of his parents, his friends, the other people of his hometown. The dreams were less vivid and, damn it, he was even beginning to forget exactly what their faces looked like. But he imagined them anew each night in the dreams and in the flashbacks that still came to him unbidden throughout the day. He heard their screams, felt the heat from the burning wood of the houses of Cleasor, saw Vorr's sword sliding out of his mother's chest…And in forgiving, then accidentally killing Vorr, he had lost the goal that had been driving him forwards for the past however many months. With Vorr forgiven and dead, Ryn had found he no longer had a purpose.In his previous life, as he had come to think of it, he had had a clear enough purpose: Finish school, take over the farm from Dad, marry Carlotia, read books and go exploring in the woods on Seventhdays.It had been a trivial purpose, perhaps, but it had been his purpose. And after finding and killing Vorr, the person who had taken it away from him, it remained unavailable for him to return to.The emptiness between his ribs ached.Sometimes it was tempting to want to escape from the flashbacks. Sometimes the sadness was so thick and heavy that it was tempting to want just to be free from that too. Forever.But there was something that held him back, that stopped him from throwing himself over the rail into oblivion.What?Of course, he knew what it was, really. But at times like this, left to his own devices, looking out over the ship's rail onto the sky below, he had to deliberately call it to mind and hold on to it.What was keeping him going now was that he had a new purpose.His new purpose was to find the rest of the Primeval Jewels with this crazy collection of miscreants. His new purpose was to find the rest of the Primeval Jewels in order to keep them from the Emperor of Morekemia and stop what happened to him and his hometown from happening to anyone else. His new purpose was to find the rest of the Primeval Jewels and see if the ‘legend' was true, to see if when they were all gathered together they could be used to bring back his mother, his father and his hometown.Oh, and of course, his new purpose was also somehow to get Nuthea to fall in love with him. Carlotia had only been a crush, after all. Nuthea was a golden-haired princess who could sling lightning, and whenever she spoke to him lightning struck Ryn's heart too.Mother. Father. Hometown. Found Vorr. Got Vorr. Forgave Vorr. Killed Vorr. Stay with Nuthea. Win Nuthea's heart. Find the Jewels. Protect the world. Try to bring back my mother, father, hometown.That was a pretty long list. He wasn't sure that he would be able to keep reciting it in his head at that length. He would have to work on an abbreviated version.But the thing was, he realised, looking down into that rushing sea of cloud, while he did have a new purpose, at the same time he had to choose it. Each day, each hour, each minute, each moment.It didn't just come to him automatically, like the purpose of finding and killing Vorr which had come to him each morning bright and hot and angry like the fire that had leapt from his hands and consumed the Imperial soldier in Cleasor after he had first touched the Ruby.Instead, moment by moment, he found himself faced by a choice: throw himself over the rail into sorrow, despair, and death, or choose his purpose.And sometimes it felt hard to choose it by himself. So sometimes, just sometimes, he had started to dare to reach out for help in achieving this purpose, though he hadn't yet told anyone else about this.One God, Ryn prayed as his eyes scanned the clouds, help me in this purpose. Help me to find the Jewels. Help me to—“We're here!” shouted Nuthea, running up onto the deck in a lilac dress. “We've reached Shun-Pei!”Ryn's stomach lurched as the ship immediately began to descend. Nuthea must have been down in the viewing bubble and already told Sagar over the speaking tube.She joined him at the rail as they punctured the topmost cloud layer. Cold and white and moisture washed over them for a few moments, obscuring their vision, and Ryn almost put his hand out to hold onto Nuthea's arm, suddenly fearing that he was going to pitch over the rail into the clouds by accident.But then Wanderlust came out the bottom of the cloud layer and the light changed from bright and golden to grey and faded, filtered by the clouds above.And then they saw it.Green, jagged mountains rose to greet them in the grey below the clouds, but one mountain rose higher and greater than all of them.One mountain thrust out of the earth twice as tall as its nearest neighbours.And this mountain seemed to be covered in hundreds of smaller mountains which dotted it in layers; myriad spikes reaching upwards from its surface.As they flew in closer, Ryn saw that the spikes were actually buildings with pointed roofs. Not hundreds, but thousands, perhaps millions of them.“There she is,” said Elrann, joining them at the rail with Cid and Vish. “Shun-Pei; ‘the Crossroads of the East'.”Ryn could see now why the mountain-city was called a Crossroads. Hundreds of other airships flew towards the mountain, or took off from it. Their own ship was coming in from particularly high up above the cloud layer, but as they came lower Sagar had to steer a path through the other airships to avoid collision.Most bore blimps like their own, but there were other styles of ship Ryn had never seen before: ships with great spinning blades holding them aloft; ships with no outside deck where the hull seemed to be built into the blimp itself; ships with only single small baskets for a hull suspended underneath gigantic, colourful balloons.Sagar took Wanderlust down further still, joining a stream of inbound ships that seemed to be heading for the base of the mountain.As they drew closer, Ryn saw that the mountain was actually arranged in concentric circles, the base layer being the largest, progressing upwards in smaller and smaller layers. This was no purely natural feature. The mountain was either man-made, or it had been shaped by some sort of human design, with what kind of power he could only guess at.Lower still, and now Ryn could see the tiny dots of people moving to and fro between the mini-mountains, the pointed buildings, swarming in what must be the streets around them. There were too many to count.Shun-Pei wasn't so much a city as an enormous ant-hill.They reached an airfield and did some manoeuvring and at last Sagar set Wanderlust down. The thrum of the turbines ceased and they touched down.Ryn breathed a sigh of relief, and noticed Cid doing so too. It had been a long time in the sky.At once they were beset upon by all manner of street-sellers and peddlers, just as they had been those months ago when they had landed in Ast.Only this time, there were a lot more of them.“Carry your luggage?”“Where are you staying?”“Rat on a stick?”“Come with me; I will show you the best inn in the lower circles.”“Best deal for a pull-cart. You stick with me.”“How much for your ship? She's a beauty.”“Rat on a stick? It's good!”The words came from men and women of all different colours and shapes, but Ryn observed that the majority of them had tan skin and eyelids that were slightly taut, like they had been pulled to each side. He assumed that these must be the native Farrians, born here before the advent of steam travel a hundred years ago.“I take you to massage parlour, hmm? Sexy sexy!”“No, no, you want a hot bath, I can see it. Come with me.”“These rats on a stick are really good!”“Tour of the city for six gold pieces.”“Need to refuel? I've got you covered.”“How much for the purple-haired boy? I'll give you a good price.”“You sure you don't want a rat on a stick?”“NO THANK YOU!” shouted Nuthea at the top of her lungs.Ryn half expected her to produce a little flourish of lightning to underscore her refusal, but on this occasion she held back.The street-peddlers fell quiet for a moment even without it, miraculously.“That's better,” said Nuthea, nodding and peering down at them like a Queen addressing her court. “We do not require any of your services just now. We seek an audience with the Governor of Farr.”The street-peddlers were quiet for a moment.Then they burst out laughing, erupting into a chorus of guffaws, giggles, shoulder slaps and belly shakes.“What is so funny?” Nuthea asked, turning to Cid and screwing up her forehead.The old man stroked his beard. “It would appear that getting an audience with the Governor of Farr may not be so easy…”Once the street sellers had calmed down, they moved on to the next airship that had just landed. If nothing else, Nuthea's request had served to get rid of them, at least.Something slammed onto the maindeck. Sagar had vaulted down from where he had been steering the ship up on the forecastle, not bothering to use the steps.“Well, princess,” he said, “it looks like we're going to have to go and find this ‘Governor' guy by ourselves. Let me lock up here and then we can make our way.”They climbed down the handholds from the ship to the dirt floor below, taking only some coin which Cid kept in the common purse, as they had eaten lunch together relatively recently. Cid and Elrann reported that the Governor resided in the structure at the top of the city, so they began their trek up the mountain to try to see them.It took a long time to walk together up to the top circle of the city. Their path consisted of finding the road that led from the airfield to the main road that wound its way round the lower circle, until they got to the place where it led up the massive ramp to the next circle. They proceeded in this way, progressing upwards through the circles of the mountain-city by finding the road that led to the next level each time.As they walked, Ryn couldn't help from staring at the people they passed. Many of them were tan, tight-lidded Farrians, but there were also people with very dark skin; people with slightly less dark skin like Vish's; very pale people with white eyes; people with hair that was black, brown, blonde, red, blue, green, purple or white; men with long bushy beards that came down to their feet; men with no facial- or head-hair to speak of; women in long flowing elaborate floral dresses; women in tunics and trousers; men and women wearing nothing much at all; children of all colours and kinds scampering around underfoot; single or conjoined parents trying to catch or control them.The world is so vast, Ryn thought. And there are so many people in it, each with their own dreams, desires, hopes, fears, sorrows, each with their own story. And I am just one more person in it. Who am I to think that I could have any special significance? Who am I to think that I could do anything ‘great'?With each new circle they ascended to, the earthen streets became a little cleaner and clearer and calmer, the hangings decorating the pointed dwellings became a little more opulent, and the people walking the streets became a little more polite and—apparently—wealthy. Their clothes were smarter and the jewellery at their fingers and throats glittered. Although Shun-Pei was the tallest mountain in this range, it must still not be particularly tall, Ryn judged, because there was still no snow on it.To get onto the third-last circle, of ten, they had to queue.A Farrian official flanked by two enormous but seemingly unarmed shaven-headed guards in green robes was inspecting people, sometimes turning them away if they didn't meet whatever criteria he was assessing them by.It was fortunate that they had been kitted out with new clothes (even changes of clothes!) in Manolia. Ryn was wearing a smart shirt and wool breeches. Nuthea wore her lilac dress with the purple sash. Sagar wore his high-collared brown leather skysailors' jacket, as ever, but now with a much cleaner undershirt. Elrann looked particularly impressive in her new yellow-dyed overalls. The Manolians really did love the colour of gold. Cid was smart in a close-fitting grey tunic and cloak. Vish was the only exception, still wearing his usual black outfit which covered everything except for his eyes, but he looked pretty smart at the worst of times anyway.When they got to the front of the queue the official gave the party a quick look over and let them in straight away.When they got to the entrance to the second-last circle, things weren't so easy.The queue for this circle was much shorter, and ended in front of another Farrian official, this one flanked by four large Farrian guards in green-robed uniforms. The guards all had shaved heads. None of these carried weapons either, but they gave off the impression that they didn't need to.The official was short and spindly and had a face like a mule, with a patchy moustache above his overbite.“State your business, foreigners,” the official snapped when they got to the front of the queue.Nuthea spoke for them. “We seek an audience with the Governor.”“Ha! What are you really here for?”“Just what she said, butt-pimple,” said Sagar.Nuthea facepalmed.The guards rumbled and took a half step forward.Ryn thought he had better intervene. “Apologies for my friend's rudeness,” he said, ignoring Sagar when he said “I'm not your friend.” “We've had a very long flight. But we really are looking to talk with your ruler.”“That's right,” Nuthea joined him. “I am Princess Nutheanna Kaleutheanna of the Queendom of Manolia, and my companions and I seek an audience with the Governor of Farr.”“Don't be ridiculous,” said the official. “We don't have time for jokes. Next!”“No!” protested Nuthea. “I'm serious! Why don't you believe me? Look, let me prove to you that I'm a member of the Manolian royal family.”Nuthea held out her hand, palm up.Ryn expected some lightning to leap from it, or crackle around it, or at least for some sparks to jump off it.Nothing happened.“That's strange…” said Nuthea, holding her hand up to her face to inspect it like a piece of broken equipment.“Move along please,” said the official irritably. “Take your jokes somewhere else, we're very busy here.”“But you don't understand…” said Nuthea. “I am Jewel-touched...”“Move along now or I will have you forcibly removed from the premises.”Nuthea turned to her side. “Ryn, as I'm having some temporary difficulties, would you do the honours?”It took him a moment to realise what she meant. “Oh. Sure.” He stepped forward and held out his own hand, willing fire. To his relief, but not surprise, an orange flame appeared, hovering above his own palm. Thankfully whatever was inhibiting Nuthea didn't seem to be a problem for him. Maybe she was just really tired from the journey.The official's thin eyebrows climbed his forehead. “Ah. I see,” he said, his gaze finding the fire, then darting quickly around the courtyard. “Put it away, boy, or you'll cause a disturbance.”Ryn allowed the fire to disappear.“Manolia, you said?” the official asked.“Yes,” said Nuthea. “I am a royal emissary from Manolia. Ryn here is from Efstan; Sagar from Imfis; Elrann from Zerlan; Cid from Erm; and Vish is from Aibar. We are here to talk to the Governor about some matters pertaining to the Primeval Jewels, as just evidenced to you by my companion Ryn. We have flown a long way to get here, and we have important news for your Governor concerning these Jewels and the Empire of Morekemia. May we have an audience with him?”The official sighed. “You had better come with me.”He beckoned, turned, and led them at last through the entryway of the huge earthen structure that stood behind him, the mountain on top of the mountain.The building was windowless, but rather than being lit by torches it was lit by amber bars. It really was like walking into a giant anthill that had been colonised by humans. The walls were largely bare, but adorned at intervals with hangings like those that decorated many of the houses in the city below, only these were even more intricate in design. The Farrians had a very particular art style, of painting in earthy colours like browns, reds and greens, but with meticulous attention to detail in subtle brush strokes.The hangings depicted various green-robed figures passing through the motions of different complex, elaborate poses. Sometimes there was more than one figure and the poses interacted with one another. Whether they were meant to be dancing or fighting, Ryn could not work out. On some of the hangings the figures carried weapons—swords or staves or whips or clubs, pretty much every weapon imaginable, some he didn't know the names of—but on most of them they didn't.They wound their way down a series of passages and up staircases, passing rooms in which more officials sat at round tables holding forth with each other, or in which others sat at rows of desks and poured over reams of paper. The whole place was a hub of activity, but it was a focused, disciplined kind of activity entirely undertaken by native Farrians, in contrast to the chaos of buying and selling and arriving and departing undertaken by both Farrians and travellers from all over Mid in the city outside.Eventually they came to a large, circular chamber where the high ceiling sloped inwards to a single point far above their heads.They had reached the peak of the mountain upon the mountain, Ryn realised.He couldn't help comparing the chamber of the Governor of Farr to Nuthea's mother's throne room in Orma. Aside from the fact that each was a large room, the two couldn't be more different. Instead of a throne on a raised dais at the back of the room, the Governor sat at a wide wooden desk in the centre of it. Instead of rows of chairs, only two wooden chairs were positioned in front of the desk. Instead of being flanked by guards on either side, only one guard stood at the entrance to the chamber to let them in, another unarmed hulk of a man with a bald head and a smiling face, dressed in the green robes that seemed to be the uniform here. The whole place reminded Ryn more of the office of the clerk in the Healing House in Nont where he had first met Cid than of the palace of the ruler of a country.The man who Ryn assumed was the Governor of Farr stood up at his desk as the official walked them over to it. A squat, rotund man in a brown robe, clean-shaven with an expression like a constipated bulldog. Not a crown, nor a circlet, but a large, cylindrical brown hat sat atop his head.“What is the meaning of this?” the Governor barked. “This is highly irregular!”“I'm sorry, Lord Governor,” squeaked the official as he led them in. “But these foreigners have something important to tell you.”“What could they possibly have to tell me that's important? I'm in the middle of my morning auditing!” Nuthea spoke up. “Governor, I apologise for the unusual and unannounced nature of my visit, but the news I bring is sensitive. My name is Princess Nutheanna Kaleutheanna and I am an emissary from the Matriarchy of Manolia. I come bearing news of the Primeval Jewels.”The Governor had opened his mouth to speak again, but now he paused a moment and his frown deepened, suspicion wrinkling up his fat forehead. “What do you know of the Primeval Jewels?” he said much more quietly.“We know that they exist, we know that we have two of them, and most importantly we know that the Emperor of Morekemia has learned of their existence and has begun to look for them. We also know that you have one of them.”“Ah.” The Governor sat back down in his chair. He looked up at the official who had brought them in. “Leave us, Yal.”“But Lord Governor—” the official began in protest.“Leave us!” the Governor barked.“Yes, Lord Governor,” said Yal, and left. The guard in green closed the doors after him and stood in front of them.The Governor of Farr spoke more slowly now. “First of all, do you have any proof of what you claim? I suppose you must have in order to have been granted entrance to see me.”“Ryn?” invited Nuthea.Ryn stepped forward and showed a flame on his hand again.“Alright, alright!” said the Governor. “Put it away, boy! You might cause an accident.” He sighed. “Well, that shows you are Jewel-touched, at least. But what of the Emperor in the West?”“He has learned of the Jewels,” said Nuthea without pausing. “He desires them, and has been moving to seize them, wherever he can find trace of them.”The Governor nodded. “Yes, that does explain reports we have been receiving of goings on in the West. Thank you for the warning, Manolian. You may leave me now.”“Hang on!” said Sagar. “Aren't you going to hear what we want?”“What you ‘want'? You are in no position to be making demands of me.”“Forgive my companion's rashness, Governor,” said Nuthea, “but it is true that we did not just come here to give you information, but to make a request.”“Well, spit it out then. What is it?”Nuthea hesitated very slightly. “The six of us are seeking to gather the Jewels together, to protect them from the Emperor. We would ask that you give us the Earth Emerald to look after for safekeeping.”“Ah. I see. Well, the problem in that case would be that we don't have it.”“What?!” said Nuthea, breaking character from that of a calm, composed negotiator to play the part of a flustered only-child.The Governor shrugged, making a triple chin for a moment. “We do not have the Earth Emerald. Well, that is to say, it is in Farr, but it is not in our possession.”“Where is it then?”“Why would you think that you have the right to know?!”“Lord Governor, I respect your concern for your own country's interests, but I cannot impress upon you the seriousness of this matter enough. There is an ancient Oneist prophecy which states that if the Primeval Jewels are all gathered together, astonishing power will be unleashed. The Emperor of Morekemia has been operating according to a policy of aggressive expansion of late, and were he to obtain all twelve of the Jewels there is no telling what havoc he would be able to wreak upon the world. He could enslave the whole of Mid under the banner of the Empire.”“Young lady, I am not a Oneist. I worship Eto, god of the earth. I have never heard of this prophecy before. Why should I have any reason to believe it?”“Well…” started Nuthea, but then abruptly ran out of steam. “Um…” She didn't appear to know how to handle people who didn't believe in the One and in Oneism.Cid took over for her. “Lord Governor, that is entirely understandable, but you must concede that even if this prophecy does not turn out to be true”—Huh? Ryn thought. Did Cid just say that?—“the Jewels are still extremely powerful ancient artefacts. When the Empire had just one Jewel, for a time, they were able to invade an entire continent and steal a second Jewel before my companions and I fought them and took them back. It would be a terrible thing for any more of the Jewels to fall into the hands of the Empire, whatever the full extent of the power they bestow.”The Governor raised an eyebrow at Cid. “That is a more persuasive case, old man, but I still see no reason to turn the Earth Emerald over to you. Anyway, you seem to be doing pretty well for yourselves, if you already have two Jewels.” He said this last with a sardonic sting in his voice. “Why should I trust you? How do I know that you are not seeking to do the same as the Emperor of Morekemia?”“He does have a point…” Ryn whispered to Nuthea. He could see where the Farrian Governor was coming from. They had never really cleared up what they would do with the Jewels themselves if they collected them all, apart from keeping them away from the Emperor. Nuthea had been vague about that. Maybe she secretly harboured dreams of using them to resurrect her deceased family, like Ryn did, too...“Shhh,” Nuthea chided him irritably out of the corner of her mouth. “We've been over this, Ryn…” She spoke to the Governor again. “Our motives are pure,” she announced confidently. “My...my mother was killed by the Empire in their pursuit of the Jewels. Both of Ryn here's parents were killed by them. We only seek the Jewels so that we may keep them from the Emperor and prevent others from coming to the same harm that our families did.”The Governor narrowed his eyes at the princess. A ponderous noise escaped his mouth. “And what of the rest of you? You're a bit of a ragtag bunch, aren't you?”Cid stepped up. “I, like the Princess, am a dedicated Oneist and a Healer. I believe in the Oneist legend of the Jewels and I believe it is of paramount importance that they are found.”“What about the rest of you?” the Governor asked, glancing down the line.Sagar shrugged. “I'm just the pilot. I'm only flying them around in exchange for being paid with gold, gemstones and beautiful women. You wouldn't happen to have any of those knocking around here, would you?”“No. Not for you, anyway.”“Damn.”“I'm the engineer,” said Elrann. “I hooked up with these guys when Imfis, where I was living, got invaded.”The Governor's gaze fell on Vish.“Vish, say something!” whispered Nuthea.“What?” The Shadowfinger blinked with surprise; his mind had been somewhere far away. “Oh. I suppose I am their bodyguard. They pay me too, with other things…”“Well, this is all highly suspect,” said the Governor. “I am amazed that you have even been able to obtain two Jewels at all. How have you?”“Um,” said Nuthea, “well… My country were already in possession of the Lightning Crystal…” It glittered where she held it up for a moment on its chain. “I inherited it from my mother. Though we did have to win it back from an Imperial General after he stole it. And Ryn was given the Fire Ruby by his father. Show him, Ryn.”Ryn held up his left hand, where the Fire Ruby sat on its ring around his middle finger.“Though that was stolen,” Nuthea continued, “by the same Imperial General, so we had to get that back too. Ryn did that really, with his flame projection powers. But the rest of us helped fight off the Imperials. Captain Sagar here actually has wind projection powers, since he was given a fragment of the Wind Shell by...um...his father. Show him, Sagar.”Sagar obliged happily, holding out an open palm in front of himself as Ryn had. A gust of air rushed upwards from the floor around him, making his jacket and ponytail flap for a moment.“And as well as being a pilot, Sagar is also a highly skilled swordfighter. And Grandfather Cid has already mentioned that he is a Healer. And Lady Elrann, as well as being an engineer, is highly proficient with pistols and whip. And, um, Shadowfinger Vish was once, um, a Shadowfinger…”“What?!” said the Governor. “One of the elite bounty-hunter assassins of the Empire?!“Um. Yes.”The Governor held up a palm. “Don't worry, I'm quite capable of defending myself.”Ryn turned his head. The guard by the door had started forward, but now reluctantly resumed his original position, his smile replaced by a tightly-clenched jaw.“How did you end up traveling with this party?” the Governor said to Vish.“They made me a better offer than the Empire,” Vish said matter-of-factly.“Oh?”“They keep me supplied with poppy seed. The Healer keeps them in his bag.”Ryn assumed that this would seal the Governor's disapproval and that the man was about to dismiss them again, even more forcefully this time. But instead of shouting them out of his audience chamber, the Governor went quiet again, then made another pondering noise.“Hmmm. You do seem to have some talents after all.” He put his fingers to his lips for a moment, and rubbed them, apparently in thought. After a while he said, seemingly to himself, “Defeating an Imperial General and winning back two Jewels is quite impressive, I suppose. Maybe there is some sense in trying to reclaim the Earth Emerald, especially if there is a chance of you actually doing it…”“Lord Governor,” said Nuthea, “where is the Earth Emerald?”“Hm? Well, if you're going to have a go at retrieving it, I suppose you do need to know where it is. It was placed by my predecessor in the Shrine to Eto, the earth god.”“Well, that's not too much of a problem,” said Ryn. “We can just go and retrieve it from there for you.”The Governor gave Ryn a withering look. “He placed it there so that nobody would be able to retrieve it. The Shrine to Eto is a labyrinthine temple now filled with traps, obstacles and monsters.”“Ah.”“That's nothing we can't handle!” spoke up Sagar. He counted their feats off on his fingers. “As a team we've already successfully escaped from an invasion, infiltrated the Imperial ranks, fought off an Imperial battalion, and defeated an Imperial general. Four of us are jewel-touched. And all of us are deadly fighters. Well, most of us,” he corrected himself, looking sideways at Ryn. The Governor tapped his lips. “Are you sure? Are you telling me that you are really prepared to attempt to enter the Shrine to Eto and retrieve the Earth Emerald yourselves? Facing the prospect of vicious monsters, deadly traps, and the high likelihood of injury and death?”“We have no other choice,” said Nuthea. “Either we do it or, sooner or later, the Empire will be here doing the same thing.”“Huld!” the Governor shouted suddenly.“Pardon?” said Nuthea. “What would you like us to hold?”“My Lord Governor,” said the soldier who had been standing guard at the door, now appearing alongside the companions, at the end of the line next to Vish. It hadn't been a command; it was a name.“Huld,” said the Governor, “I want you to take these six foreigners to the Shrine to Eto and bring the Earth Emerald back from there with them.”“I live to serve, Lord Governor.”“Woah!” said Sagar, instantly protesting. “We never agreed to that! Why do we need to take a bald Farrian along with us? We can do it just fine by ourselves!”“Why do you think; you loose-tongued Imfisi?” snapped the Governor. “You will need a Farrian guide both to lead you to the Shrine and to help you navigate it. And nobody is better suited to helping you in your task than Huld. He is my best monk. He is extremely well trained in the fighting arts. He will be able both to guide you to the Shrine to Eto and to assist you in retrieving the Emerald. I trust him implicitly.”Ryn looked at the soldier. No...the Governor had said monk. The man's massive smile was back on his face again. It was so wide it pushed his cheeks up into his already narrow eyes, making them look as though they were shut.“Hello,” said Huld, in a controlled, polite voice.“Er, hello,” said Ryn.“Good,” said the Governor, apparently seeing this as some kind of successful assimilation of Huld to the group. “That's settled then. Huld will assist you in retrieving the Earth Emerald. I have some matters I will need to discuss with him now. You will leave at first light tomorrow.” Get full access to Faenon's Fantasy Fiction Newsletter at sagaofthejewels.substack.com/subscribe
Il le dit très simplement : "Moi, ce qui m'intéresse, c'est la compétition". Toute sa vie, ou presque, Daniel Souben, 63 ans, n'a cherché qu'une chose : aller plus vite que le voisin. Forcément, après plus de cinq décennies de régates, ça vous pose un homme ; discret et peu connu du grand public, le Vannetais né en pays bigouden est une figure du milieu, très respectée de ses pairs.Cette passion, elle débute dès le plus jeune âge, grâce à un père passionné, et un frère qui devient naturellement l'équipier. A l'âge où l'on pratique l'Optimist, il est déjà en 420, écume les régates locales dès ses 10 ans, titille le haut des classements alors qu'il est encore ado, et les premiers podiums nationaux et mondiaux arrivent alors qu'il n'a pas 18 ans. C'est parti pour une longue carrière dans la voile olympique, en 470, d'abord, en Tornado ensuite.La sélection pour les JO se refusera à lui, mais il sait se diversifier : dès la fin des années 1980, les coureurs au large en multicoque viennent chercher les marins de l'olympisme, appréciés pour leur finesse de barre et leur rigueur. Souben est de ceux-là : sur Jet Services, puis avec Laurent Bourgnon sur Primagaz.Pendant ce temps, il n'oublie pas qu'il est prof de gym en disponibilité : à la fin des années 1980, il est sollicité par un groupe de très jeunes marins qui veulent faire du catamaran de sport, alors que la filière jeune est inexistante. Il lance avec eux la Cataschool et les fait grandir : les frères Morvan, Matthieu Vandame, son fils Matthieu Souben, Arnaud Jarlegan, Gurvan Bontemps font tous de très belles carrières dans la voile, au plus haut niveau.Au début des années 2000, il devient enfin professionnel en passant chez Banque Populaire, dont il structure l'équipe Orma, avant de travailler avec Franck Cammas puis Jean-Luc Nélias. Il rencontre ensuite Géry Trentesaux, qui lui demande d'organiser une équipe gagner le Tour de France à la voile. Daniel Souben, qui n'a pas couru en monocoque depuis le 470, se met à la tâche avec méthode et professionnalisme : ce sera l'aventure Courrier Dunkerque, soldée par trois victoires dans le TFV entre 2008 et 2014.En 2015, il pose sac à terre, mais son savoir-faire reste demandé : il coache et route nombre de marins - Erwan Le Roux, Yann Eliès, Sébastien Rogues (qui gagne la Transat Jacques Vabre avec son fils Matthieu en 2021) - et prend, en 2022, la tête d'Orlabay, le centre d'entraînement de La Trinité-sur-Mer. Avec toujours les mêmes objectifs : être devant, et transmettre.Diffusé le 16 février 2023Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire Levillain
Chaque vendredi du 28 juillet au 18 août, Tip & Shaft vous propose sa série estivale. Vous aimez les années 80 ? Nous aussi ! Pour cette série d'été, Tip & Shaft a choisi de mettre en avant quelques uns des grands marins qui ont illustré cette décennie. Troisième invité, Loïck Peyron, un des marins les plus connus des français avec plus de quatre décennies de courses à la voile au compteur. Écoutez-le dans la première partie du 21e épisode d'Into The Wind, enregistré le 2 octobre 2020. Faut-il vraiment présenter Loïck Peyron ? L'un des marins les plus populaires et les plus connus des Français, il compte plus de quatre décennies de courses à la voile au compteur, sur les supports les plus variés. Ce fou de bateaux, qui dessine depuis toujours son embarcation idéale, a touché à toutes, absolument toutes les machines de course - même s'il a longtemps montré une préférence pour les multicoques. L'un des rares marins à avoir participé à la Mini-Transat ET à la Coupe de l'America, il affiche un palmarès hors normes : triple vainqueur de la Transat anglaise, double vainqueur de la Transat Jacques Vabre, vainqueur de la Route du Rhum et de la Barcelona World Race, détenteur du Trophée Jules Verne, plusieurs fois champion du monde Orma, il était aussi de la première édition du Vendée Globe, où il se classe 2e derrière Titouan Lamazou. A 60 ans, il se définit comme "comme un planneur qui descend tranquillement", enchaînant les navs plaisirs et les piges ça et là. Formidable conteur, pédagogue au regard précis, il a toujours considéré qu'il ne pouvait pas se plaindre, cachant une grande efficacité derrière une apparente facilité. Au cours de ces 3 heures de conversation (en 2 parties, rassurez-vous !), nous retraversons avec lui les grandes heures de la course au large, depuis son départ de la maison familiale à 18 ans, sans le sou, jusqu'à la Solitaire du Figaro 2019, courue plus de 40 ans après. Ce premier épisode nous emmène de l'enfance de Loïck au Pouliguen jusqu'à The Race, en 2001, à la veille de la fameuse Route du Rhum.

Écoutez-le dans cette première partie du 16e épisode d'Into The Wind, enregistré le 15 mai 2020. Quatre décennies de course à la voile au plus haut niveau : peu de marins peuvent s'enorgueillir d'une telle longévité, mais Alain Gautier fait partie des rares coureurs à afficher un tel parcours... A 57 ans, le Lorientais peut dérouler un palmarès impressionnant : 18 Solitaire du Figaro - dont une victoire en 1989 -, 2 Vendée Globe - dont une victoire en 1993 -, et des premières places sur l'AG2R, La Baule-Dakar, des podiums sur le BOC Challenge, la Route du Rhum, la folie des années Orma, une campagne de Coupe de l'America... Personnage discret mais passionné de vitesse et d'automobiles, Alain Gautier s'est un peu assagi, désormais team manager du projet Imoca d'Isabelle Joschke, soutenu par MACSF. Une première partie qui nous emmène dans les années 1980, depuis sa première Solitaire du Figaro, courue à crédit alors qu'il est à peine majeur, jusqu'au premier Vendée Globe, celui des pionniers, où, benjamin de la course, il finit 6e.

Caroline Muller est depuis 26 ans une figure connue et reconnue dans monde de la voile, son métier : la communication. Pourtant, sa double maîtrise de droit public et pénal ne la prédestinait pas vraiment à arpenter les pontons. "Ça part d'un échec, j'ai raté le barreau d'un rien et derrière, j'ai eu la chance de faire des rencontres, j'ai découvert un univers dans lequel j'ai plongé aux côtés de gens fabuleux." La première est avec Laurent Bourgnon et sa bande de copains suisses pour la Route du Rhum 1998, suivront Philippe Facque, ancien navigateur et surtout créateur du circuit Orma, “hyper visionnaire”, Franck Cammas, Roland Jourdain, Marc Guillemot, Mike Horn ou Ellen MacArthur, qu'elle accompagnera lors de son record du tour du monde en solitaire en 2005. "L'arrivée, quel bonheur ! C'étaient aussi des moments de stress et d'intensité professionnelle parce qu'il ne fallait pas décevoir les nombreux journalistes venus l'accueillir, c'était dingue, on a vécu un tunnel médiatique complètement fou." Pendant dix ans, Caroline Muller a formé un tandem de choc avec Vincent Borde au sein de l'agence Welcome On Board, en charge notamment de la communication de Groupama et de Franck Cammas, dont elle dit : "Il a un degré d'exigence et une curiosité incroyables et une force de boulot hors du commun, vous ne pouvez que progresser à ses côtés." La collaboration durera jusqu'à la Coupe de l'America en 2017, "une autre dimension, très internationale, le graal, c'est différent de notre milieu de la course au large très français". « Caro », comme on surnomme dans le milieu cette femme énergique, s'occupe ensuite de Yannick Bestaven en vue du Vendée Globe 2020-21, que le skipper de Maître CoQ remporte, nouvelle effervescence médiatique à la clé pour sa communicante. Si l'aventure se poursuit avec ce dernier, avec dans le viseur le prochain Vendée Globe, Caroline Muller a pris en charge récemment la communication d'Orient Express Racing Team, le défi français pour la 37e Coupe de l'America, qui s'alignera également sur la Youth et la Women America's Cup, une grande première pour l'épreuve féminine. Ce qui lui fait dire : "Être au commencement d'une équipe, c'est fantastique, ce sont des femmes inspirantes, qui donnent vraiment envie de se défoncer pour elles."

Comme Roland Jourdain, Jean-Luc Nélias est un enfant de l'école de voile du Cap-Coz, cette bande de sable qui ferme la lagune de Port-la-Forêt ; et comme Bilou, deux ans plus jeune et ami de toujours, Jean-Luc Nélias va grandir dans l'écosystème de ce Finistère sud béni des dieux de la régate, où se côtoient, dans les années 1970 et 1980, Jean Le Cam, les frères Desjoyeaux, Marc Guillemot, Bretrand de Broc, Patrick Morvan et d'autres. Les études vite larguées, passionné de planche, il débute par quelques convoyages, embarque sur Pen Duick VI pour accompagner la transat Lorient-Les Bermudes en, 1983, régate avec Bilou sur son cata de 40 pieds Caisse d'Epargne, et fait vite son trou ; c'est une époque "d'aventuriers" et de "traîne-savates", où "tout est possible". Tout s'enchaîne : il progresse, court le SORC, embarque sur Jet Services - il est du tragique chavirage de 1985 - puis rencontre Jean Maurel qui l'emmène sur Elf Aquitaine, gagnant ensemble Québec-Saint-Malo, le Tour de l'Europe... En 1991, il mène son premier projet solo à bord de Cimarron, où il finit 3e de La Baule-Dakar, mais il poursuit surtout une carrière d'équipier recherché, se spécialisant dans la navigation. Il navigue avec Roland Jourdain (AG2R 1992), Laurent Bourgnon (Course de l'Europe 1993), Franck Cammas (AG2R 1996), Paul Vatine (Transat Jacques Vabre 1997), Thierry Peponnet (AG2R 1998), Marc Guillemot (Transat Jacques Vabre 1999)... et multiplie les participations au Tour de France à la voile pour faire bouillir la marmite. Il vit ensuite la belle époque des trimarans Orma à la tête de son propre projet, entre 2000 et 2003, avec Belgacom, embarquant Mich Desj et Loïck Peyron, avant de découvrir la Solitaire pour la première fois en 2004, gagnant le classement bizuth à 40 ans passés ! Il passe ensuite à l'Imoca avec Bilou, encore, et entre ensuite chez Groupama pour remporter avec Franck Cammas la Volvo Ocean Race en 2011 ; il rempile avec les Espagnols de Mapfre lors de l'édition suivante. Puis, c'est l'aventure Sodebo avec Thomas Coville, pendant 7 ans. Avant qu'une annonce dans Tip & Shaft, en 2021, n'attire son attention : Apivia recherche son team manager pour emmener Charlie Dalin décrocher le Vendée Globe . A 58 ans, le voilà patron d'équipe, découvrant la vie en CDI chez MerConcept, l'entreprise de François Gabart. Fidèle à lui-même, toujours aussi direct, Jean-Luc Nélias l'avoue : ça n'est pas facile tous les jours. Mais cela reste de la voile de haut niveau, une discipline qu'il pratique depuis quatre décennies. Diffusé le 5 mai 2023 Générique : In Closing – Days Past Post-production : Grégoire Levillain

Elle fait partie de ces personnes de l'ombre qui vous apportent la lumière. Ce qui la caractérise ? Son sourire communicatif, la dextérité de ses mains et son petit côté MacGyver. A 40 ans, « enfin pas tout à fait, 39 exactement », Elise Bakhoum a déjà 20 ans de carrière derrière elle et quel parcours ! L'école, ce n'était pas tellement son truc et c'est en déambulant avec une amie dans les allées du Salon Nautique de Paris – où elle habitait à l'époque - qu'elle a une révélation : « On est passées devant le stand du Chasse-Marée et on s'est dit : on va fabriquer un bateau, on a acheté des plans ». Et elle va apprendre, à lire les plans, à les comprendre. Elle a alors 16 ans. Elise rentre chez elle et déclare : « Je vais apprendre à fabriquer de bateaux », sa mère l'encourage. « Ce sera le premier jour du reste de ma vie ». Elise se forme aux métiers du bois, puis au matelotage, apprend au contact des meilleurs et, à 23 ans, monte sa petite entreprise. Elle devient gréeuse professionnelle et évolue dans un monde éminemment masculin, mais « à aucun moment, au début du moins, je n'ai senti qu'être une femme faisait une différence ; à la limite ils étaient intrigués et voyaient que j'étais là pour apprendre, que j'en voulais ». Ce monde aussi un peu rustre, « où on fait pas de chichi », lui va bien. Elise Bakhoum va traverser le monde de la course au large, se créant les opportunités : Mini, Orma, Multi50, France, Nouvelle-Zélande, et jusqu'à la Coupe de l'America en 2017 avec Franck Cammas où elle sera responsable de l'aile. « Quel que soit le support, j'ai toujours voulu et tout mis en œuvre pour que ce soit le plus parfait possible. Mon angoisse, c'est qu'il puisse y avoir une casse à cause de quelque chose que j'aurais mal fait, alors vraiment je ne laisse rien au hasard. » Elle vit aussi l'aventure du Vendée Globe, avec Jean-Pierre Dick en 2004, puis Charlie Dalin en 2021, et aujourd'hui auprès de Jérémie Beyou. « Quand il m'a dit que c'est moi qu'il voulait dans son équipe, ça a été un moment fort, je me suis dit que c'était la récompense de 20 ans de travail. » Au sein du Charal Sailing Team, elle est responsable de tout le pont : « Je voulais que Jérémie le dise bien à toute son équipe, que ce soit clair et OK pour tout le monde, que moi, une femme, serait responsable. » Forte de son parcours, de ses rencontres, de son franc-parler, Elise Bakhoun fait d'ailleurs tout pour intégrer et amener plus de femmes dans son monde à elle, celui de la construction de bateau. Regarder ses mains, c'est imaginer un peu sa vie. L'écouter, c'est mieux la comprendre. Navigantes est animé par Hélène Cougoule et produit par Tip & Shaft. Diffusé le 29 mars 2023.

Ce 110e épisode est consacré à la classe Ocean Fifty, que va découvrir cette année à la barre de Le Rire Médecin-Lamotte, mis à l'eau jeudi dernier à Lorient, Luke Berry, tandis que le deuxième invité, Fabrice Cahierc, disposera fin mai d'un nouveau plan VPLP, baptisé Réalités. Luke Berry commence par expliquer pourquoi, après cinq ans de Class40, lui et ses partenaires ont décidé de se lancer en Ocean Fifty, évoquant “le bon moment pour évoluer vers autre chose” et notamment cette classe des multicoques de 50 pieds “en pleine expansion”, même s'ils ont aussi regardé du côté de l'Imoca. Fabrice Cahierc détaille quant à lui son parcours, d'entrepreneur et de régatier (Dart, F18, FVO, F28, Orma, F40…), qui l'a conduit, la cinquantaine passée, à vouloir se consacrer à 100% à la voile de compétition dans une classe Ocean Fifty qui l'a séduit, car elle propose un double programme inshore et offshore, reste dans des budgets raisonnables et forme selon lui “une famille”. Après avoir lancé en 2020 un premier bateau, Planet Warriors, plan VPLP finalement vendu à Erwan Le Roux (l'actuel Koesio), l'ancien chef d'entreprise justifie sa décision, partagée avec son partenaire Réalités, d'en construire un nouveau, dans les mêmes moules, avec l'objectif d'en faire une plateforme encore plus performante. Luke Berry explique de son côté pourquoi il a racheté l'ancien Primonial de Sébastien Rogues, entre “budget plus raisonnable” et, vu son peu d'expérience du multicoque, choix d'un bateau “reconnu pour avoir une marge de sécurité plus élevée du fait de ses gros flotteurs”. Les deux skippers évoquent ensuite leurs budgets respectifs et la troisième saison d'un Pro Sailing Tour qui, selon Fabrice Cahierc, va vivre “une année de transition”, en raison notamment d'un mercato important après la Route du Rhum et de l'arrivée de nouveaux bateaux, qui ne seront pas prêts pour participer à ce Pro Sailing Tour. Nous finissons par parler d'avenir, Luke Berry, engagé pour deux ans pour l'instant avec ses partenaires en Ocean Fifty - Fabrice Cahierc jusqu'en 2027 compris - confiant garder le Vendée Globe "dans un coin de la tête”.

Tip & Shaft vous propose d'écouter ou de ré-écouter l'épisode d'Into The Wind le plus suivi de l'année 2022. Votre podcast revient dans son format habituel le vendredi 13 janvier. D'ici là, toute l'équipe de Tip & Shaft vous souhaite une très bonne année 2023 ! Quand on s'assoit face à lui après avoir installé les micros, on sait qu'on va en avoir pour son argent... et qu'il faut se caler confortablement. Car Thomas Coville, 53 ans, est un marin éclectique, doublé d'un formidable conteur. L'invité idéal, donc, pour fêter ce 50e épisode d'Into The Wind : un épisode exceptionnel en trois parties pour six heures d'interview - avec une pause déjeuner au milieu, rassurez-vous - mais nous n'avons pas vu le temps passer ! Thomas Coville, boulimique de la mer et des bateaux, a couru sur presque tous les supports et sur toutes les mers, en plus de trois décennies d'une carrière d'une rare intensité. A part la voile olympique, c'est bien simple, il a touché à tout. Le Tour de France à la voile ? Il les enchaîne en guise de formation dans les années 1980. Le multicoque ? Il apprend tout avec Laurent Bourgnon. La Coupe de l'America ? Il participe à l'édition 1995 au sein du team de Marc Pajot. En rentrant de San Diego, il réalise un enchaînement impeccable : Trophée Jules Verne avec Olivier de Kersauson (record), Mini Transat quelques mois plus tard (2e), puis Route de l'Or avec Yves Parlier (vainqueur) qui lui confie Aquitaine Innovations pour le Rhum 1998 après sa chute de parapente (vainqueur). C'est là qu'il est recruté par Sodebo pour remplacer Raphaël Dinelli sur l'Imoca vendéen : victoire dans la Transat Jacques Vabre 1999 et Vendée Globe dans la foulée (6e). S'en suivent plus de deux décennies de partenariat qui courent encore. Aux cinq saisons - difficiles - en Orma, succèdent dix années ou presque d'une quête personnelle, celle du Trophée Saint-Exupéry, le record du tour du monde en solitaire "overall", qu'il décroche à sa cinquième tentative, le jour de Noël 2016. Sans parler des "extras", qu'il pratique avec bonheur, des piges sur le Trophée Jules Verne - remporté une seconde fois avec Franck Cammas en 2010 - et sur la Volvo Ocean Race - plusieurs participations, dont une victoire, toujours avec Cammas en 2012. Bilan : 8 tours du monde, 10 passages du cap Horn, une vingtaine de transats... et la liste n'est pas close. Désormais pilote d'Ultime, Thomas Coville vise le Rhum 2022 puis le Tour du monde en solitaire en 2023. Insatiable.
C'est l'histoire d'une passion unique : celle de la vitesse et des sensations qu'elle procure, sur deux ou trois coques - au moins. Fred Le Peutrec a consacré sa vie aux multis et uniquement à eux. Il n'y a guère qu'à ses débuts, sur la grande plage de Houat - paradis des vacances d'été du jeune Parisien qu'il est alors - qu'il fréquente un monocoque, un 485 qu'il découvre en autodidacte. Avec son bateau suivant, un Dart 18, il découvre le cata de sport et s'embarque dans une longue idylle, qui le mène au Tornado, puis en équipe de France et à trois campagnes olympiques, dont l'une aboutit aux JO d'Atlanta en 1996, qu'il termine 6e avec Franck Citeau. Qui dit fréquentation exclusive du multicoque ne veut pas pour autant dire voile légère uniquement. Très tôt, Fred Le Peutrec embarque au large, où sa finesse de barre fait merveille auprès de Bruno Peyron et de Jean Maurel, puis, à partir de 1996, avec Loïck Peyron. Il sera un pilier de Fujicolor II qui domine l'Orma, avant de se lancer dans un nouveau Graal, les tours du monde - toujours en multicoque, bien sûr. Vainqueur de The Race sur Club Med en 2001, il devient skipper de Bayer Cropscience à son retour, passe ensuite chez Gitana avant d'entrer chez Groupama où il participe à toute la mise au point du légendaire Groupama 3, qui décroche le Trophée Jules Verne en 2010. Il passe ensuite chez Banque Populaire où il accroche un nouveau trophée Jules Verne à sa boutonnière. Bloqué à terre dans l'attente d'une greffe de rein - qu'il vivra en 2017 -, il s'investit dans le circuit D35 sur le lac Léman, puis suit la construction des TF35 et du Multi50 Ciela Village, et n'oublie jamais de naviguer, avec le Maserati de Giovanni Solidini, en ce moment. Par amour de la vitesse, des bateaux et du voyage Diffusé le 16 décembre 2022 Générique : In Closing – Days Past Post-production : Grégoire Levillain
Deux sujets au menu de ce 97e épisode de Pos. Report : la Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe, dont le palmarès de la 12e édition est désormais complet, et l'élection du Marin de l'Année 2022, dont le lauréat sera connu vendredi 2 décembre lors de la Soirée des champions organisée à l'Olympia par la Fédération française de voile. Pour en parler, un marin qui a été élu Marin de l'Année à trois reprises, Michel Desjoyeaux, par ailleurs vainqueur de la Route du Rhum en Orma en 2002, et le journaliste Didier Ravon (pour Voiles & Voiliers et Libération entre autres). Nous commençons donc par revenir sur la 12e édition de la Route du Rhum, Michel Desjoyeaux évoquant “un joli cru”, même s'il se montre un peu "chafouin" quant au report du départ. Didier Ravon parle de son côté d'une “belle Route du Rhum, difficile, avec des fronts à passer, beaucoup de suspense et de superbes vainqueurs.” Des vainqueurs que nous passons ensuite en revue. Didier Ravon se montre impressionné par Yoann Richomme, qui est un peu “le Mbappé de la voile”, victorieux pour la deuxième fois de suite en Class40, nos deux invités louent le côté “dur au mal” de Thomas Ruyant, qui s'est imposé en Imoca, Michel Desjoyeaux estime que Charles Caudrelier, vainqueur en Ultim, a navigué à son image, “très propre, jamais dans le paraître”, et qu'Erwan Le Roux a réussi à l'emporter en Ocean Fifty parce qu'il avait “le cuir un peu plus épais” que son dauphin Quentin Vlamynck, dont Didier Ravon tient à souligner la prestation. Nous évoquons ensuite l'élection du Marin de l'Année, titre que Michel Desjoyeaux a donc remporté à trois reprises, en 2001, 2007 et 2009, confiant sa surprise d'avoir été élu en 2009 - il pensait que la récompense irait à l'équipage de Banque Populaire V de Pascal Bidégorry pour son record de l'Atlantique -, au point de ne rien avoir préparé avant de monter sur scène. Nos deux invités commentent ensuite la liste des six nommés - Charles Caudrelier, Thomas Ruyant, Jean-Baptiste Bernaz, Marion Mortefon, Adrien Bosson, Pauline Courtois. Didier Ravon, qui a fait partie de tous les jurys depuis la première édition en 2001, estime qu'il manque peut-être “Tom Laperche, Yoann Richomme et Lauriane Nolot”, il fait ensuite part de sa préférence, différente de celle de Michel Desjoyeaux.

Ce matin-là de printemps, le ciel charrie de lourds grains pluvieux sur l'estuaire de la Gironde tandis que le bac qui relie Royan au Verdon-sur-Mer entame sa manœuvre d'approche. Le temps rappelle les ambiances finistériennes ou morbihannaises qui servent souvent de décors aux enregistrements d'Into The Wind. Mais rien qu'à l'odeur de la forêt et du sable mouillé des dunes qui façonnent l'arrière-plan de la pointe du Médoc, on sent que les repères habituels de nos histoires de marins ont changé. Et pourtant, Lalou Roucayrol, que l'on vient visiter dans son fief - et qu'il ne manque pas de nous faire longuement visiter avant de s'asseoir devant le micro - connaît bien la Sailing Valley, dont il fut même - qui s'en souvient ? - l'un des pionniers. Mais à bientôt 58 ans, le Médocain reste plus que jamais attaché à ses racines, installé à quelques kilomètres de la plage où il a appris la voile. Fils de marin, il grandit au bord de la Gironde et apprend la voile au début des années 1970 dans le club de voile du Verdon-sur-Mer, où il est toujours licencié. Son père lui construit son premier Optimist et il participe à son premier championnat de France à... 7 ans. Il enchaîne en 420 avec sa sœur, passe à l'Europe (un dériveur solitaire) et s'en va à Marseille, à 14 ans, faire marine marchande en lycée professionnel. Il achète un quarter-tonner et navigue sans compter, embarque à la pêche, met de l'argent de côté et, comme beaucoup, se lance dans la Mini-Transat en 1985, à 21 ans, multipliant les métiers pour financer sa course, découvrant au passage le composite. Une expérience "juste incroyable", qui le lance dans le grand bain. Adieu les cargos, il veut faire de la voile son métier : il rentre chez CDK construire Poulain, le premier bateau du chantier, puis devient skipper de Lejaby-Rasurel, un cata de 60 pieds. Cette fois, c'est parti, "un foiler récent et moderne : le rêve absolu", en pleine époque dorée des multicoques. Il va, ensuite, enchaîner les courses, en multicoque toujours, prao, F28, 60 pieds, se classant 4e de la Transat Jacques Vabre en 1995. Lalou Roucayrol rejoint alors le team Banque Populaire, devenant équipier de Francis Joyon, skipper en titre à l'époque. Il lui succède en 1999, vivant, lui aussi, la grande épopée des trimarans Orma, et montant sur le podium de l'épique Route du Rhum 2002, où ils ne sont que trois à terminer en multicoque de 60 pieds. Il est débarqué deux ans plus tard. Un moment difficile : "Tu perds ton métier, tes amis, mais je ne m'en sors pas trop mal, même s'il a fallu batailler." Il redevient free lance, pour Ellen MacArthur, Yves Parlier, retourne chez CDK, travaille à une mission autour de La Base de Lorient. Et finit, en 2007, par lancer son propre projet en Multi50, construisant son propre 50 pieds dans le Médoc, chez lui. "Je voulais être maître de mon destin en armant mon propre bateau." Et ça marche : 4e de la Transat Jacques Vabre en 2007, 3e en 2009, 2e sur le Rhum en 2010, il chavire lors du convoyage retour et doit abandonner son bateau. Trois ans plus tard, il signe avec Arkema après avoir construit son nouveau trimaran, avec lequel il gagne la Route des Princes, se classe 2e du Rhum 2014, 3e de la Jacques Vabre 2015, 1er de la Québec Saint-Malo et 2e de The Transat en 2016, avant de remporter la Transat Jacques Vabre en 2017 avec Alex Pella. L'année suivante, il annonce la construction d'un troisième Multi50 aux couleurs d'Arkema, mis à l'eau 2 ans plus tard, après un chavirage rocambolesque dans le Rhum 2018. Parallèlement, sa structure Lalou Multi construit un Mini, un Class40 recyclable, et Lalou s'engage dans la formation de jeunes marins, comme Quentin Vlamynck d'abord, Keni Piperol, ensuite. A l'issue de la Transat Jacques Vabre 2021, Lalou Roucayrol annonce se retraite du multicoque, mais pas de la course : son objectif est désormais de participer au prochain tour du monde en Class40, The Race Around. Un parcours incroyable à travers plus de trois décennies de course au large, qui demande bien un épisode de 5 heures en deux parties ! ---- Diffusé le 1er juillet 2022 Générique : In Closing – Days Past Post-production : Julien Badoil/Studio Juno

Ce 73e épisode est consacré à la deuxième saison du TF35 Trophy, qui s'ouvre cette semaine sur le lac Léman avec la Realstone Cup for Léman Hope. Nos trois invités sont l'organisateur du circuit, le Suisse Bertrand Favre, et deux marins français qui participent au circuit cette saison, Loïck Peyron, tacticien au sein de l'équipage tricolore de Team SailFever, et Sébastien Col, qui fait partie de l'équipe suisse de Realteam Sailing. Bertrand Favre commence par expliquer pourquoi le circuit lémanique est passé du D35 au TF35, doté de foils, il y a deux ans : “Le D35 arrivait en fin de cycle après quinze ans de bons et loyaux services, il y avait la volonté de renouveler la plateforme et de rendre accessible le foil aux propriétaires”, explique le class manager. Qui ajoute que le cahier des charges du TF35 était de “voler tôt et au près” et d'avoir un bateau “moins typé lac”, l'objectif de l'organisateur étant que le circuit sorte des frontières suisses et que le bateau puisse naviguer sur des plans d'eau maritimes. Loïck Peyron et Sébastien Col, qui ont participé à la première saison du TF35 Trophy l'an dernier, font part de leurs impressions, le Baulois commentant notamment : “Le bateau répond parfaitement au cahier des charges, c'est génial de voler sur un miroir”. Sébastien Col loue de son côté “la capacité du TF35 à bien voler au près” avant d'expliquer que le catamaran est particulièrement physique car très toilé. D'où, selon Bertrand Favre, des formats de régates courts (1,2 mille, 20-25 minutes), sur les épreuves de type Grand Prix, à raison de quatre manches par jour. Les deux marins présentent ensuite leurs équipes respectives : Team SailFever, celle de Loïck Peyron, est la seule menée par un propriétaire français, Frédéric Jousset, composée par ailleurs de Valentin Sipan, Devan Le Bihan, Arnaud Jarlegan, mais également de marins Suisses : Yvan Ravussin et son fils Matthieu, Lauranne Mettraux. Realteam Sailing, l'équipe de Sébastien Col, est quant à elle menée par un armateur suisse, Esteban Garcia, avec un skipper également helvète, Jérôme Clerc, et plusieurs marins français : Gurvan Bontemps, Benjamin Amiot, François Morvan. Bertrand Favre explique pourquoi le D35 d'abord puis le TF35 ont toujours attiré des marins français, entre “une voile suisse très peu professionnalisée au début du D35 donc un manque d'équipiers, et la concordance de la fin du circuit Orma”, qui a d'ailleurs poussé certains sponsors de l'époque, comme Foncia ou Banque Populaire, à s'intéresser au circuit. Il dresse ensuite le profil type des propriétaires de TF35, “des passionnés de voile et de vitesse qui aiment le côté extrême, la plupart barreurs de leur bateau”, ce qui n'est pas obligatoire sur le TF35 Trophy. Interrogé sur ses autres navigations prévues cette année, Loïck Peyron répond qu'il continue à naviguer en MOD70, avec PowerPlay en début d'année, et désormais avec un nouveau projet aux côtés du Français Erik Maris, fondateur de l'équipe Zoulou, qui vient justement d'arrêter le TF35 pour acheter lui aussi un MOD 70. Quant à Bertrand Favre, il évoque l'autre circuit de propriétaires dont il s'occupe, la 44Cup, courue à bord des RC44, monocoques monotypes qui, en quinze ans, n'ont cessé d'être optimisés, d'où leur longévité. Loïck Peyron commente pour finir le litige qui oppose l'équipe de François Gabart à la classe Ultim 32/23 à propos de la conformité du trimaran SVR Lazartigue aux règles de jauge, évoquant “un très mauvais message envoyé au grand public.” Diffusé le 17 mai 2022 Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecords Post-production : Julien Badoil/Studio Juno

Umsjón: Rúnar Róbertsson og Gígja Hólmgeirsdóttir Akraneskaupstaður hefur hrint af stað stóru og metnaðarfullu verkefni við atvinnuuppbyggingu í sveitarfélaginu. Um er að ræða svokallaða græna iðngarða í Flóahverfi á Akranesi. Bæjarstjórinn segir að fyrirséð sé að mörg fyrirtæki muni þurfa að færa sig af höfuðborgarsvæðinu af svæðum sem verið sé að skipuleggja fyrir íbúabyggð. Samfara þessu hafi íbúum fjölgað á Akranesi. Við hringdum í Sævar Freyr Þráinsson bæjarstjóra. Uppnám varð seinnipartinn í gær þegar endurtelja þurfti kjörseðlana í Norðvestur kjördæmi því jöfnunarsæti fóru á hreyfingu í kjölfarið og meirihluti kvenna á þingi hvarf. Kristín Edwald, formaður Landskjörstjórnar, kom til okkar og fór yfir málið. Framsóknarflokkurinn er sigurvegari kosninganna að flestra mati enda bætir flokkurinn mestu við sig. Ásmundur Einar Daðason þótti hugrakkur að færa sig í Reykjavíkurkjördæmi norður frá Norðvesturkjördæmi enda ekki á vísan að róa fyrir Framsóknarmenn í borginni undanfarna áratugi. Framsókn fékk t.d. 5,3 prósenta fylgi í kjördæminu fyrir fjórum árum en 12,3 prósent í ár. Við hringdum í Ásmund Einar. Til að ræða úrslit kosninganna og hvernig þær sjá næstu skref fengum við til okkar Evu Heiðu Önnudóttur prófessor í stjórnmálafræðiprófessor og þingfréttamanninn Jóhönnu Vigdísi Hjaltadóttur. Fengum þær til að spá í spilin. Við fórum yfir viðburðarríka helgi í sportinu með Eddu Sif Pálsdóttur af íþróttadeildinni. Og í lokin heyrðum við í Sigmari Guðmundssyni, fyrrum liðsmaður úr Morgunútvarpinu til margra ára, en hann fór inn á þing á síðustu metrunum sem jöfnunarþingmaður. Nóttin tók á hjá Sigmari.
