Alors qu'il mène actuellement la Globe40, nous rediffusons l'épisode enregistré le 14 mars 2021 avec Ian Lipinski : il y revient sur son parcours, de ses débuts en Mini à ses succès en Class40. Au micro de Pierre-Yves Lautrou, le skipper de Crédit Mutuel évoque son approche de la course au large, son état d'esprit et les choix qui ont marqué sa trajectoire. Un échange pour mieux comprendre le marin qu'il est aujourd'hui.--Qui a dit qu'il fallait être tombé dedans tout petit pour tutoyer les podiums en course au large ? Ian Lipinski a dû attendre ses 30 ans pour prendre le départ de sa première course en solo. Et s'est bien rattrapé durant la décennie suivante !Elevé en banlieue parisienne, ce fils d'une institutrice et d'un chercheur au CNRS attend l'adolescence pour découvrir la mer. A 15 ans, il participe à son premier stage aux Glénans, au cœur de l'archipel du même nom et c'est une révélation. Après des études scientifiques, il renonce à sa carrière d'ingénieur aéronautique pour un long séjour aux Glénans puis un tour de l'Atlantique en croisière.A son retour, il plonge dans le grand bain du Mini 6.50 et s'installe à Lorient ; il n'en ressortira que 6 saisons plus tard, avec un palmarès inégalé jusqu'ici : chavirage dans la Mini Transat 2013, vainqueur de l'édition 2015 en série, puis de l'édition 2017 en prototype, un doublé inédit en 40 ans d'histoire de l'épreuve.Ian Lipinski est monté d'une division en lançant en 2018 un projet Class40, restant fidèle à l'architecte de son dernier Mini 6.50, David Raison, qui lui dessine le premier "scow" de la classe, financé par le Crédit Mutuel. Quatre mois après sa mise à l'eau, il remporte avec Adrien Hardy la Transat Jacques Vabre, puis bat le record du Tour des îles britanniques en solo l'été suivant.A bientôt 40 ans, il a beau être l'un des favoris de la prochaine Transat Jacques Vabre et de la Route du Rhum 2022, il confie pourtant souffrir encore du "syndrome de l'imposteur", fruit d'un parcours hors des sentiers battus. Un drôle de syndrome... qui l'amène cependant à aller très vite sur l'eau !Rediffusé le 6 mars 2026Diffusé le 12 mars 2021Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. In our next look at the game mechanics for Civilization V we examine a new feature in Civilization 5, City-States. These are independent cities controlled by the computer that are also players to some degree in the game, and you can interact with them. And they are key to winning a Diplomatic Victory. Playing Civilization V, Part 9 - City States This was a newly introduced feature in Civ 5, and they play an important role in the game. They represent the small countries that are not running the world. They do not produce Settlers, so they do not expand beyond the one city, though that city can, and will expand its borders in a similar way to how your cities can grow. They do not start with a military unit, but they can produce military units and defend themselves. They can also build buildings in the city, but not Wonders. They do have a single vote each in the World Congress (or later the United Nations), making them a key to a Diplomatic victory. City States start out neutral with regards to the players, but your interactions with them can affect how they feel about you. For example, if you send units through their territory they will get hostile, but if you give them gifts they will get friendly. And if you wish you can go to war with them and take them over. This will affect your diplomatic relations with other players and other city states, but if you have decided on a war of conquest as your victory type, that won't matter to you, right? As mentioned, if you want to go for a Diplomatic victory you want to be allied with as many of them as possible to get their votes in the World Congress or the United Nations. But even if you don't need their votes, there are other benefits from friendly relations. There are two levels to friendly relations: Friendly, and Allied, and the benefits get better as the relations improve. City State Types With the expansions there are 5 types of City State: Militaristic, Maritime, Cultured, Mercantile, and Religious. The benefits you get are: Militaristic – If you are friends the city state will periodically gift you a unit, which will appear in your city which is closest to the city state. If you are allies the units will show up more often. Maritime – If you are friends they will add two food to your Capital city. If you are allies they will add one more food to every city you have. Cultured city states share their culture with you, at one rate if you are friends and at double the rate if you are allies. Mercantile city states give you an added 3 Happiness when you are friends. If you are allies you keep the added happiness, but in addition get access to a luxury resource that cannot be obtained any other way, and that also adds Happiness. Religious city states give you a one-time bonus of Faith when you first meet them, then provide added Faith per turn. Note that Cultured and Religious city states increase the amount of Culture or Faith they provide with each new era, so the earlier you develop your relations with them the better the benefit. Managing Relations With City States There is a mechanism in the game which keeps track of points to define your relations with city states. On this numerical scale, Neutral has a value of 0, Friendly 30 or above, and Allied 60 or above. In the other direction, once you go into negative numbers they become Angry, if if you go negative enough it becomes War. A city state can only ever have one ally. If only one player has more than 60 influence points, that player will become the patron of the city state and they will ally to that player. If two or more players have more than 60 influence points, the player with the most points gets the ally. As the game goes on, you may get a message that a city state you had as an ally has suddenly allied to someone else. This is the result of the other player gaining influence points in some way, often by gifts. You can also gain influence points by promising to protect a city state, but do this with your eyes open. If you do not follow through on your promise it will enrage the city state and you will lose a lot of influence with them. Your influence with a city state has a natural resting point at 0, or Neutral. That means that barring other factors, a positive number will fall over time, and a negative number will rise over time. So if you sent one of your units through their territory they will be angry for a period, but if nothing else happens they will return to Neutral. But on the other side, you don't stay allied with them forever unless you find ways to keep adding influence points. One way is to eliminate barbarian camps near to the city state. In fact, this is one exception to the rule about sending units through their territory. If you are doing it to attack the barbarians, you are seen as a protector, not an invader, and there is no penalty. Another way to gain influence is by completing a quest from a city state. Each city state you are in contact with will periodically give you a quest, and if you fulfill it you will gain influence points. This can include killing a barbarian camp or killing nearby barbarian units (though you can do that at any time, you don't need a quest). Some others include acquiring a Great Person of a certain kind, building a certain World Wonder, bullying another city state, finding a Natural Wonder, and so on. You do not need to fulfill a quest. For example, if your strategy calls for allying with other city states, you might want to pass on bullying another city state. There is no penalty for not fulfilling a quest, just a bonus when you do fulfill one. Another way to gain influence is with gifts. The most effective is Gold, and one large sum is more effective than several small ones. For a Diplomatic victory strategy, you should plan on having a large Treasury as you approach the end game so that you can buy allies in time for the crucial vote. You can also gain a small amount of influence points by gifting units. I make it a practice to do this whenever I have units that I don't want any longer. These could be obsolete units that have no upgrade path, for instance. I don't want to pay maintenance on them as that is a drain on my Treasury, and I could just delete them, but gifting them to a city state gives me a small amount of influence. Another way to get a big jump in your influence with a city state is to capture and then a return one of their Workers. Most often this happens when a barbarian has captured the Worker, and then you capture it. You have the option of keeping the Worker for yourself, and in the early game I would probably do that because the Worker is so valuable. But at a certain point I have enough Workers, and getting the 45 influence points for returning it starts to be more effective. Remember that you have to keep earning influence points to keep up your relations, so even if you get an ally of a city state for a few turns. it will naturally decay back to Neutral. By around the middle of the game if you playing well you can start to invest the resources needed to maintain your relationships. City States and War If you are allied with a city state and you get into a war with another player, a city state you are allied with will join you in the war. Of course, the same is true for the other player, so the war between the two players could also involve 3-4 city states dragged in as allies. You cannot make peace with a city state while it is allied to a player you are at war with. You have to first make peace with that player (or wipe them out if that suits you). However, if you can get more influence with that city state and supplant the other player you can get that city state to ally with you can turn around and attack your enemy. Generally a large cash gift can do this, once again showing the utility of a fat Treasury. Exploration You cannot have diplomatic relations with a city state you haven't met, so this reinforces the idea that you have to explore the map as soon as possible. Of course, you have to balance this with other priorities, such as expanding your cities and defending them, but finding the right balance is what all the Civilization games are about. On most maps this means you should be giving some attention to developing your naval power and technologies. There seems to be a bias to city states being coastal, and in many cases they are on small islands. Of course there are a number of motivations for exploring the map. First of all, you need intelligence of what you are up against with the other players. And unless you are on a very large land mass, you will want to find added lands for settlement. Finding Natural Wonders adds to Happiness in your Empire, so finding them all is important. And last, the unexplored sections of the map have a strong tendency to spawn barbarian units against you. Early on you cannot traverse Ocean tiles and need to stick to Coastal tiles. The unit here is the Trireme, which you can build once you discover Sailing. I will usually build 1-2 Triremes in a coastal city to go around the coast of the land mass I am on and scout out the situation. If another land mass or island is sufficiently close I can cross to it without entering an Ocean tile and extend my exploration. But to really explore the whole map you need to get to Caravels. This Renaissance Era unit becomes available when you discover Astronomy, and is essentially a naval scouting unit. It can enter Ocean tiles.

Which is more dangerous — the most extreme type of climbing or sailing alone around the world?It's a topic that sparks real debate in this episode. Alpine climbing in the Himalaya. Ice routes where one mistake can be fatal. Free soloing rock faces. Crossing the Southern Ocean alone, where rescue might be days away. Turning off your phone and removing the last layer of backup.But this conversation doesn't stay in the realm of adrenaline.Jerome Rand has sailed solo around the globe — 271 days and nearly 30,000 miles at sea. He's also thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail, spending months largely alone, learning what prolonged solitude does to a person.What emerges in this episode isn't a contest of danger.It's a deeper exploration of:How much risk makes something feel like a “true” adventureWhether modern technology strengthens or softens that edgeThe psychology of immersion when there is no easy bailoutWhy the ratio of suffering to joy might be 90/10 — and why that 10% keeps us coming backJerome reflects on identity, mentorship, and the subtle tension of aging as an adventurer — when you begin to sense that the horizon you once chased might not be the only measure of a life well-lived.

Part 3 of reuploading classic history episodes in the run up to our book club review of Serve the People! by Yan Lianke.In this episode, we look at how Mao reversed the course of the Cultural Revolution, bringing in the army to end the violence and destruction caused by the factionalism between the Red Guards and other mass organisations. We discuss the much vaunted revolutionary committees, temporary governments made up of a triple alliance between the mass organisations, the Cultural Revolution Group, and the People's Liberation Army.The original aim of the revolution to promote the masses to positions of power in place of corrupt cadres was replaced by the singular quest to restore the country to order. To do this, Mao relied heavily on the PLA, as well as the cadres who not too long ago were seen as public enemy #1.Music clips are from "Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman" and "The People of the World Will Surely be Victorious"00:00 Song "Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman"00:25 Introduction06:23 January Revolution11:50 Song "The People of the World Will Surely be Victorious"12:05 The Triple Alliance14:10 The February adverse current23:20 The Wuhan incident26:24 The 516 purge29:30 Resitance to demobilisation38:10 The failure of the revolutionBuy bookclub books hereBuy me a coffeeLinks to everythingSupport the showSign up for Buzzsprout to launch your podcasting journey: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=162442Subscribe to the Sinobabble Newsletter: https://sinobabble.substack.com/Support Sinobabble on Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Sinobabblepod

The first sparks of the American Revolution ignited during the spring of 1775, while Lord William Campbell prepared to sail from England to his post as Governor of South Carolina. His contacts and conversations during that turbulent year presaged an uncertain reception in Charleston. As civil war erupted in Massachusetts, the king's ministers empowered Campbell to choose his future course—either trim the sails of unruly Carolina, or abandon the provincial ship of state.

L'occasion de réécouter l'épisode d'Into the Wind consacré à ce marin au parcours atypique.-- C'est l'histoire d'un marin très recherché, qui enchaîne embarquements et coups d'éclat, mais n'a pas vraiment suivi les voies d'accès traditionnelles à la voile de compétition. Né à Lyon dans une famille où personne ne pratique le bateau, c'est grâce à... son prof de judo qu'il découvre la voile en Méditerranée. C'est là qu'il va progressivement faire son trou et se spécialiser dans l'électronique et la navigation sur des bateaux de propriétaires, de plus en plus gros, tout en suivant des études en géologie à Lyon.En 2014, il embarque sur l'ex VOR 70 SFS avec Lionel Péan, qui sillonne en course toute la Grande Bleue. Deux ans et demi plus tard, début 2017, il tente sa chance et candidate chez Dongfeng : il participe à la campagne victorieuse de Charles Caudrelier et des siens dans la Volvo Ocean Race, en charge, dans l'équipe technique, de l'électronique.Cette fois c'est le grand bain, il a été repéré et est appelé par Spindrift, tandis que l'équipe Dongfeng l'encourage à assumer ses envies de Figaro, lui qui n'a jamais couru en solitaire. Il se jette à l'eau en 2019 et le bizuth explose sur la Solitaire avec une 6e place et même, du jamais vu, un titre de champion de France élite de course au large.Désormais installé à Lorient, son téléphone sonne de plus en plus souvent : tout en enchaînant les stand-by et les tentatives de Trophée Jules Verne avec Spindrift, il gagne le championnat d'Europe mixte de course au large avec Marie Riou, est recruté pour The Ocean Race Europe sur Corum, puis navigue à bord d'Holcim-PRB sur The Ocean Race, où il finit skipper après l'affaire Escoffier.Fin 2023, il doit participer à la Transat Jacques Vabre avec Nicolas Troussel, mais le sponsor finit par renoncer après un démâtage sur le Défi Azimut. En 2024, il découvre le Class40 avec Fabien Delahaye (1er et 2e sur la Normandy Channel Race et Québec Saint-Malo) et le duo Alberto Riva-Jean Marre (2e sur la Niji 40). Il intègre le team Gitana pour cet hiver, avant que le maxi-trimaran Edmond de Rothschild ne démâte à Gibraltar. Le téléphone sonne quelques jours plus tard et l'équipage de Sodebo le récupère pour le Trophée Jules Verne.Pour la saison prochaine, il n'a rien de prévu, pour le moment. Ça ne saurait durer...Rediffusé le 20 février 2026Diffusé le 15 novembre 2024Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Send a textIn this installment of 50 Years of Excellence in Women's Athletics at the Naval Academy, we bring you Mary Brigden from the Class of 1981. Mary was an accomplished sailor by the time she was in high school, winning several junior national championships while growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. When she got to Annapolis, where Mary traded in her X-Scow for a 420 and rebuilt her game under coaches who sharpen her skills to get her ready for collegiate racing. She makes strategic choices to collect coed regatta starts, chases All‑American points, and engages is a daily strength training program that sharpens her edge. The result is a skipper ready for a defining test.The ICSA Championships in Charleston, SC deliver that test. With whitecaps and wind in the high gears, rivals expect Navy to fade. Instead, Mary and crew Karen Mulvaney stack top‑three finishes, conserve energy where it matters, and attack when it counts. The final race is a clinic in control: hiking through gusts, holding shape, and driving clean while the fleet eases to survive. The payoff is a big time trifecta—the Madeleine Cup for winning the Women's A‑division, the Gerald C. Miller trophy, given to the best women's team, and the Leonard M. Fowle Trophy, crowning Navy as the 1981 national champions. Finally, there was Mary's history making achievement of being named the first woman All American in any sport at the Naval Academy, the culmination of a long held dream. If you like these kinds of stories, check out the episode.

In Part Two of our series on Charlotte of Belgium (Empress Carlota of Mexico)… we wish we had better news. When we last left our neglected princess, she and her husband, Archduke Maximilian of Austria, had been approached by Napoleon III and offered the crown of Mexico. Charlotte—starved for purpose and convinced this is her destiny—is all in. Max is less sure, but with the blessing of Pope Pius IX, the new Emperor and Empress set sail for Mexico. Where the dream immediately implodes. What follows is one of the most tragic and debated breakdowns in royal history—and the fall of the Second Mexican Empire. We also draw parallels to one of our classic Queens Podcast episodes on Juana of Castile, another queen labeled “mad” and locked away. If this story leaves you thinking about power, politics, and madness, you can revisit Juana's story here.

In today's episode, I sit down with Sarah Newberry Moore, a U.S. Olympian in Sailing, for an honest conversation about navigating change, both in sport and in life. We talk about what it means to evolve as an athlete and a human, especially when identity, goals, and capacity shift over time.   Sarah shares her experiences with growth, self-awareness, and learning to listen more closely to her body and intuition. We explore the tension many athletes feel between pushing forward and pulling back, and how redefining success can open the door to more sustainable, fulfilling performance. This episode highlights the importance of adaptability, self-trust, and letting go of rigid expectations in favor of long-term health and alignment.   This conversation is for anyone who's in a season of transition, whether that's stepping into a new role, rethinking their relationship with training, or simply trying to find steadiness amid change. It's a reminder that progress doesn't always look linear, and that practicing brave often means allowing yourself to grow into the next version of who you are.   Connect with Sarah:

Some Disney vacations are carefully planned. Some are spontaneous. And then there are the ones where you stack them back-to-back and just ride the wave of magic for two full weeks. In Episode 655 of the Geekin' on Walt Disney World Podcast, Auntie Judy joins me to recap not one — but two Disney adventures: First, an 8-night sailing aboard the brand-new Disney Cruise Line ship, the Disney Treasure. Then? Straight off the ship and into Walt Disney World to meet up with Margita and me for Beach Club stays, fireworks dining, and some unforgettable Geek moments. This episode is cruise review, trip report, accessibility insight, dining talk, Broadway-style entertainment… and classic Judy storytelling all wrapped into one.

Gretchen and Tim were in the same anchorage as me when I met them, and John Kretschmer recommended them as guests. They sail a Catalina 42 with an added staysail and have a YouTube channel called GnT Sailing. We talk about meeting while racing Rhodes 19's, learning to sail offshore, sailing with John Kretschmer, a heavy-weather passage with JK, sailing downwind with just a staysail in strong wind, handsteering, man-overboard drills, crossing the Gulf Stream, living aboard full-time vs part-time, motor-predjudice, arriving in the daylight or heaving-to until sunrise, anchoring, swivel failure, mistakes, things we say that make us feel better in rough conditions, couple difficulties and how to avoid arguments and drama, staying out of each other's way, heavy weather situations, their boat, things that make living aboard more comfortable, dream boats, steering in reverse in a full-keel boat, and more.

The Black Foils suffered a nasty end to their home race this weekend. Their F50 Catamaran crashed into the French team, leaving Kiwi grinder Louis Sinclair with two broken legs. Race organisers then shifted to a split-fleet format for the remaining races over safety concerns. AUT Sailing Professor Mark Orams told Mike Hosking that it's time for SailGP to 'crank up' the safety measures. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Boyd, Josh and Alan got together in the wake of a Manchester City fight back that keeps the Premier League title race alive, but still sees Arsenal with a six-point lead at the top after a fine 3-0 victory against Sunderland. We ponder how nervous or otherwise we should be given City's late show, reflect on Gyokeres' recent form and wonder if the trip to Brentford on Thursday might be the second-toughest fixture left as we get back in the boat for the final 13 Premier League games of the season. ⁠⁠⁠arsenalpodcast.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@arsenalpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Produced by Josh Landy  A Playback Media Production  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠playbackmedia.co.uk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Copyright 2025 Playback Media Ltd - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Learn more about your ad choices.

Mayflower II – the replica of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to America in 1620 and launched a nation – is seen by some 2.6 million visitors every year in Plymouth.  The ship is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  But there is a lot more to the replica of the Mayflower launched in the middle 1950's than meets the eye.  Researcher Richard A. Stone has written the definitive,  fascinating history of it all in a book entitled, “Project Mayflower: Building and Sailing a 17th-Century Replica,”  featuring  never- before – told stories of a great adventure that captivated the world!

Tout plaquer à 50 ans et se lancer dans le Vendée Globe : voilà, en peu de mots, le parcours de Manu Cousin, loin, très loin des trajectoires classiques de la course au large professionnelle.Né à Rouen en 1967, il découvre la mer très jeune par le biais familial et construit, au fil des années, une relation intense avec la voile. Longtemps, elle demeure une passion parallèle à une carrière professionnelle "normale" menée en entreprise, un équilibre assumé qui façonne sa manière d'aborder la performance et l'engagement sportif.Tout bascule après un congé sabbatique passé en famille sur l'eau en 2003, puis une Transquadra courue en 2010. Il s'oriente alors vers la Class40 et y forge une approche méthodique du projet sportif : compréhension fine du bateau, gestion des moyens limités, attention portée à la fiabilité et à la technique. Mais ce n'est qu'à l'issue de la Transat Jacques Vabre 2017, qu'il pense, aidé par son partenaire, au Vendée Globe, jusqu'ici très éloigné de ses ambitions.Avec sa femme Sandrine, ils démissionnent alors de leurs CDI respectifs de cadres commerciaux, vendent leur maison de Normandie et déménagent aux Sables d'Olonne pour une nouvelle vie, à 50 ans.Courses après courses, il apprend l'Imoca sur le bateau qu'il a racheté à Arnaud Boissières, et un nouveau métier, celui d'entrepreneur, traversant le Covid et se qualifiant pour le Vendée Globe 2020. La casse de son vérin de quille vient profondément marquer son épreuve, qu'il parvient néanmoins à terminer et se classer 23e. L'expérience renforce sa conviction que boucler un tour du monde en solitaire constitue déjà, en soi, une forme d'accomplissement. Mais il sait déjà qu'il veut repartir.La préparation de son second Vendée Globe est fauchée en plein vol par le départ de son partenaire, juste après la Route du Rhum 2022. Mais il parvient en quelques mois à reconstituer un collectif de sponsors et s'aligne en 2024 pour un nouveau Vendée Globe. Juste avant d'entrer dans le Grand Sud, il heurte violemment un objet ou un animal non identifié (Oani) et n'arrivera jamais à retrouver la sérénité nécessaire pour tirer sur sa machine. Pour autant, il parvient à terminer, à nouveau, mais à une 31e place décevante pour lui.Et là encore, tandis qu'il remonte le chenal des Sables d'Olonne, il sait déjà qu'il veut repartir pour le Vendée Globe 2028, achète un nouveau bateau à foils et sécurise le financement de la prochaine édition.Histoire de continuer à vivre un rêve éveillé, celui de vivre sa passion au quotidien.Diffusé le 6 février 2026Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Despite Pierre de Coubertin's vision of the Olympics being for male athletes only, women did participate in the games starting in 1900.

After our ORC discussion (Episode 335) I had a phone call from an old mate, Brett Whitbread.
