Ce 237e épisode de Pos. Report reçoit le skipper Charles Caudrelier et Cyril Dardashti, directeur général du Gitana Team, pour revenir sur la présentation le 3 décembre à Lorient du nouveau Gitana 18.Avec eux, nous passons en revue toutes les innovations du dernier-né des Ultim, conçu par Guillaume Verdier en collaboration avec les ingénieurs du Gitana Team. Charles Caudrelier explique que le cahier des charges initial était de permettre au bateau d'être beaucoup plus stable en vol que ne l'était le précédent, Gitana 17 (devenu Actual Ultim 4).D'où un cockpit intégré à la plateforme, tout en respectant les nouvelles règles de visibilité de la classe Ultim, pour un meilleur aérodynamisme, un mât-aile équipé de barres de flèche dynamiques inspiré des bateaux de la Coupe de l'America et des appendices particulièrement travaillés.Charles Caudrelier détaille ainsi les raisons qui ont conduit à des foils en Y réglables en trois dimensions, des safrans en U inversé dont la pelle reste ne tourne pas pour éviter la déformation, une aile de raie métallique sous la dérive. Il explique également pourquoi le Gitana Team a décidé de concevoir un pilote automatique en interne, avec la société WDS, un pilote plus “intelligent” qui devrait être synonyme de gain de performance.Les attentes pour ce nouveau bateau, qui devrait naviguer en février 2026 ? Un vol bien plus stable, donc des moyennes plus élevées, répond le skipper, qui s'est déjà beaucoup entraîné en simulateur. Reste à valider tout ça en mer, avec un programme bien chargé en 2026, explique Cyril Dardashti, et d'ores et déjà des objectifs élevés sur la Route du Rhum.Diffusé le 9 décembre 2025Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecordsPost-production : Théo LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Six years ago, I launched a new venue, The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. The podcast has welcomed guests across the entertainment and lifestyle industries.   The guests have ranged from Emmy-winning journalists such as Anne Trujillo, Elex Michaelson, and Michael Mackie, and Emmy-winning actor Mike Manning, to Tony-winning producer Evan McGill and Reality TV legends such as Beth Stolarczyk, Derrick Kosinski, Ethan Zohn, Jon Brennan, Mark Long, Rachel Reilly, Rob Cesternino, and Syrus Yarbrough.  I am incredibly grateful to all the publicists and talent management teams who trusted me with their clients.  I am grateful for the friendships that I built along the way with my podcasting colleagues and guests.

These stories underscore the importance of embracing challenges and finding fulfillment through persistence and adaptability, all while highlighting the joyous imperfections of holiday preparations.   A surprise guest appears when the wrapping session is interrupted by a persistent courier from Wisdom Delivery Service, an upstart package delivery company. The delivery guy brings a package featuring wisdom from Skip's past, emphasizing the importance of perspective.

The weather has calmed a bit in Northern California, but things could be looking mucky for the influencer-palooza at the Phoenix Open. They begin with some clean up from Monday, where Pebble was called, Wyndham was declared the winner, and then he offered some candid quotes about weighing a LIV decision in the offseason. They ponder the current state of pro golf with these decisions and some of the payouts going to middling players for middling finishes. This is cause to discuss the hullabaloo around LIV's ratings from Mayakoba: should we laugh at them or hat tip some of the jumps? Is it completely negligible against PGA Tour numbers? The schedule of the week hits on the Phoenix Open and its field after two more high profile WDs that have featured groups looking a little thin. Some one-and-done picks go chalk and off the beaten path to mix things up. They close with some more quotes from a PGA Tour star on if LIV players should be welcomed back without penalty.
