This great race looked delicate, the fault in disrupted weather conditions and therefore very unstable, but also to strong currents and of many areas of transitions, and the least that can be said is that it kept all its promises. "This round was rather difficult tactically. Shortly after the departure, the wind has gone a bit in all directions and the first portion to “L’île de Ré” wasn’t obvious. I didn’t go out there moreover very well but then, on the near by in the breeze that we made along the island, I pulled the right side and I was able to get back to the front row", explained Erwan, who also realized a very beautiful operation, during the last night, by succeeding in doubling Sebastien Simon, raising itself, so, on the second place. "At one point, during two or three hours, it became very complex, with a transition zone. There was a period of softness and I took the advantage by being slightly shifted further off than my opponent", said the “Fouesnantais” who has no longer given up his place.
Strengthened confidence
“I am satisfied to finish second. Also satisfied with the way I led my race. It was important for me to navigate well on this great stage because it’s very similar to what awaits us on “La Solitaire”. I was disappointed in my first two days of racing. The weather was pretty capricious and I never managed to be in the right tempo. Nevertheless it’s not very serious. The objective, for me, was, above all to be good on the big loop ", underlined the skipper of Armor-Lux which so strengthens his confidence before” La Solitaire URGO - Le Figaro” whose kick-off is scheduled in hardly more than a month." It was an ideal race to get ready for the deadline", noted Erwan, not unhappy not to stay on three sleeves in halftone." I’m sailing two second places on two big stages, this one and the one run in “La Solo Concarneau”, three weeks ago. That puts me in a good dynamics. I was also able to see that my new sails walked well and it gives me confidence in my speed. I’m in the blow and it's for the best ", concluded Erwan Tabarly.
