Whenever I show new sailors how to fill out the logbook I make a point of heading the page ‘Passage towards’, rather than inserting an end destination. It’s an old habit, but it demonstrates from the outset that it is normal to change plans.
Charlie Dalin aboard Apivia - Vendée Globe © Apivia
Charlie Dalin is sailing a smart, controlled and measured race on the Guillaume Verdier-designed foiler Apivia, and the fact that he has been leading the Vendée Globe for more than two weeks should come as no surprise.
Those are the thoughts of Charles Caudrelier, the co-skipper of the mega-trimaran Maxi Edmond de Rothschild and the man who skippered Dongfeng Race Team to victory in the last Volvo Ocean Race.
Caudrelier says Dalin is showing the ability to sail at the front at a sustainable pace. He believes this reflects not only Dalin s own strategic understanding of how to pace himself, but also the influence of François Gabart and his MerConcept team who have managed the Apivia campaign.
