Les Voiles de St. Barth 2012: Once Around

April 07, 2012

A popular staple of racing in St Barth’s is the round-the-island race, and today the Les Voiles de St. Barth sailors had their turn. The fleet was sent anti-clockwise on either a 23- or 17-nautical mile course, that comprised the island itself, as well as neighboring Ile Fourchue.

Day 3 at Les Voiles de St. Barth ©: Christophe Jouany / Les Voiles de St. Barth

A land-based spectator could easily follow the fleet around – as easily as they could navigate a car along the island’s windy and narrow roads. The volcanic French island offers some impressive views: the start from historic Fort Oscar, midway around at the beachside village of Lorient, and finally from the overlook near Colombier, several hundred feet above the passage to Ile Chevreau, with the fleet by then on a downwind leg, spinnakers and staysails flying.

At the start off Gustavia, an eight to ten knot southeasterly helped send the seven classes off the line. Around the southern end, out of the lee of the island, boats encountered more breeze and bigger swells. Added to that, several rain squalls brought more wind as well, with boats experiencing 20-25 knots in the passing showers. These cells challenged some crews, who struggled to keep in phase with sail changes; those that could react faster, made big gains around the island course.

Leading the Fleet
The Maxi and IR52 classes share the same start line, which with a dozen boats, half of those over 90 feet, poses tactical challenges for all. For the most part, the more maneuverable IRC52s are usually grouped together at the start. Though today, Vesper got caught up with the charter yacht Sojana at the start, which forced them to tack out offshore. Both PowerPlay and Mayhem had a better start and came off the line even, then played the left, trading tacks up through outer anchorage. Jim Swartz’ Vesper, with Gavin Brady as tactician, caught up and the three boats were closely grouped until they encountered the first squall. Vesper’s crew Ken Keefe, said, “Mayhem came out of it with nice lead and did a good job extending all the way around the island. We only got past PowerPlay and defended all the way around.”

Keefe wasn’t sure local knowledge would have made a difference, saying, “We’ve been here three times, and actually the island is pretty logical. It’s actually a really nice race course. Probably there are some shifts here and there a local would now about. With today’s squalls going through, it’s more reacting to what is in front of you, and Mayhem did a nice job putting themselves in that position.” Summing up the day he added, “There were two rain squalls, some really good sailing all the way around, nice jog into the beach, it was all really fun.”

The Mayhem team is lead by skipper Ashley Wolfe, who currently hails from Alberta, Canada. Though her home in Calgary is nowhere near the ocean, she grew up surrounded by water in Victoria, B.C. and keeps the boat in San Francisco, CA. Her crew of Canadian and American sailors includes past Olympians Charlie McKee (tactician), and Ross MacDonald (strategist), as well as her father (pit) and husband (grinder). The family’s prior Mayhem’s included a TP52 and a Farr 40.

Wolfe attributed their current standing at the top of their class to good tactics and sail selection. The Canadian skipper relished the conditions on the eastern side, “It was really fun around the corner, it was blowing about 25 knots, with a huge swell. We have a new headsail, a furling fractioning (code) zero, and it worked well for us. We used that to round the island and then just extended our lead. We overstood under spinnaker when we had to sail really high, and we wiped out twice, but then gained it back on the next shift. We got into a few squalls with showers along the course, but basically it is spectacular here. This is a great racecourse – we just really enjoy it!

Battle brewing in Spinnaker 1
Lazy Dog, skippered by Sergio Sagramoso skipper on the J/122, Lazy Dog, just missed their third win for the week, correcting out only by 46 seconds behind Frits Bus’ Melges 24, Coors Light, Lazy Dog’s team, all from Puerto Rico, has successfully sailed together for eight to nine years, winning quite a few regattas. Sagramoso said, “We know each other from windsurfing competitively when we were younger, then we all moved to sailing. My foredeck used to be the best windsurfer in Puerto Rico!

“We have had an amazing few days, a great time, great racing and a lot of fun. Probably the best regatta we have ever been to. I came once as a tourist and thought that it looked like a beautiful place to sail. This is now our new favourite regatta!

Frits Bus on Coors Light was quick to attribute their win to his crew, Benoit Meesemaecker and Markku Harmala, both world-class Laser sailors from St. Barth’s. Bus said, “We have some of the best sailors from St. Barth on board. It really helps having good local knowledge because there are a lot of wind shifts and current here, so it is important to know where to go. We can see it against the other Melges, because they have the same boat speed but do not do the same tacks and we just gradually keep making gains.”

Day 3 racing at Les Voiles de St. Barth ©: Christophe Jouany / Les Voiles de St. Barth

Bus continued, “So it all comes down to tomorrow. If we get a first place tomorrow, we will win our class; otherwise, we’ll stand in second. So the strategy for tomorrow is to sail faster and higher!”

Soaking up Atmosphere
Annie O’Sullivan, is the skipper of the Diamonds Are Forever yacht competing in Non-Spinnaker Racing class. The Irish sailor runs a company called Girls for Sail, which introduces women to racing. O’Sullivan started back in 2001, competing in many of the races in the Caribbean circuit, including Antigua, the British Virgin Islands, Grenada, and now is back at Les Voiles de St. Barth’s for the second time.

Here at Les Voiles, there were seven women onboard from Norway, Hungary, South Africa, and the U.K. Each regatta there are new crew members, so there is a learning curve to ramp up, but the affable Irish sailor seems up for the challenge: “The aim is to have them get some experience and have some fun. They turn up a few days before and we take them around and practice maneuvers, sail changes, setting spinnakers, etc.”

The quality of the competition in St. Barth’s was not lost on O’Sullivan, “We are up against some of these crews here, they are so professional, they’ve been together for years, they have amazing boats. We do everything with our boat, we sail across the Atlantic, we do RYA (Royal Yachting Association) training – so we’re here to soak up the atmosphere and be a part of a really great event.

Racing concludes tomorrow with the first warning signal scheduled for 11am, for the seven classes competing. Tomorrow’s weather forecast calls for easterly winds of 10-12 knots. Saturday’s prize giving is planned for 6pm in the Race Village, where awards for all seven classes will be presented.

New this year, Les Voiles de St. Barth has real-time race tracking with 2D visualization via the internet. Waypoint-Tracking developed the system in close collaboration with ISAF. The site will allow enthusiasts to follow the daily racing action live or to replay at a later time.

Peter Craig Appointed as Principle Race Officer for the Pendennis Cup

April 05, 2012

The 2nd – 7th July 2012 will see the return of the Pendennis Cup to Cornwall. Organised by Pendennis Shipyard every two years the yacht regatta hosts an amazing range of superyachts to the waters of Falmouth Bay for four days of challenging competing. For the first time this year a professional race officer has been selected to take charge of the race.

Esteemed yachtsman Peter Craig from Marblehead, USA, has a wide range of experience with many of the premiere international regattas, including the Bucket Regattas and the Perini Navi Cup, the Maxi Rolex World Cup, the Swan World Championships and the Volvo Ocean Race.

Peter is certainly looking forward to the Pendennis Cup “It’s probably a combination of things – the renowned port of Falmouth, which I’ve heard so many good things about and the beautiful yachts that make up the Pendennis fleet every year. As a kid, I sailed on a wooden, gaff rigged schooner during my New England summers so an epic schooner line up that includes the likes of Mariette, Eleonora, Altair, Adela and Athos will be something special for me. This year the Pendennis Cup fleet consists of a wide variety of vessels in terms of size, rig and age for which we are developing a set of rules that facilitates the best racing conditions for this diverse fleet. I am looking forward to overseeing the racing, especially in the more challenging waters of the UK, where weather as well as tide can have a dramatic influence on a vessel’s performance.”

Peter will be working alongside the race committee from the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club, who managed the racing in 2010, tying in with their expertise of local conditions to create the most exciting courses possible for both crews and spectators.

To date next year’s fleet includes 13 classic and modern sailing yachts totaling a remarkable 450m + in length overall. The fleet so far consists of the 62m megayacht Athos, and the 55.5m sailing yacht Adela restored by Pendennis in 1995 and a regular visitor to the yard. Other yachts confirmed are the superyacht Altair, the charter yacht Eleonora E (ex Eleonora), the sailing yacht Mariette, the superyacht Mariquita (one of the oldest participants built in 1911), Bequia, Breakaway, Bare Necessities, the luxury yacht Mikado, Zarik, the sailing yacht Unfurled and Velacarina.

St. Barths Bucket Regatta 2012: Great Success for Hoek Design Superyachts

April 05, 2012

The St. Barths Bucket Regatta 2012 at the end of March was a huge success for the four Hoek Design superyachts, including the charter yacht This Is Us, the superyacht Firefly, the sailing yacht Marie as well as the Athos megayacht that took part in this popular race.

THIS IS US

Proving that boats from the Hoek drawing boards perform equally as well as they look, the 43m classic charter yacht This Is Us, launched in 2006 at Holland Jachtbouw as Skylge, won the overall prize for best perfoming yacht. Not only was This Is Us first in her class, she also triumphed over all classes on handicap out of a fleet of 47 superyachts. “This success underlines the way large sail yachts are becoming more performance oriented,” says Andre Hoek. “This Is Us is the only schooner ever built with a lifting keel and sails extremely well in both light winds and heavy air. To come first out of such an exceptional fleet of vessels is a major achievement for the owners and crew.”

FIREFLY

Making her Bucket debut was another extraordinary innovative boat from Hoek Design. The 35m luxury yacht Firefly is the prototype of the new one-design F-class, the second of which is already under construction. “Firefly showed her mettle by beating four J-class yachts on elapse time in most of the races and coming second overall in her class. She also outperformed many superyachts that are way larger both upwind and downwind in light and heavy airs.”

Also racing around the stunning island of St Barthélemy to great effect was the 55m sailing yacht Marie, completed by Vitters in 2010. “Marie had an exceptional week, coming fourth in her class and in eighth spot overall,” explains Hoek. “She had to start as one of the last boats on the race course and most days caught up with over forty yachts, some of which started an hour ahead on a two-hour course.”

Megayacht ATHOS

ATHOS

The fourth Hoek Design yacht to feature in St Barths had the distinction of being the largest on display. Also built by Holland Jachtbouw, the giant 62m megayacht Athos was one of the most spectacular sights on the whole course. “It was marvellous to see this stunning schooner wow the crowds for the first time in a Bucket regatta and her potential is now clear for all to see,” concludes Hoek. “Everyone at Hoek design is genuinely proud of the achievements of our vessels in St baths and reminded of what a rpivilege it is to partner with such ambitious owners.”
