2013 Route des Princes June16 Report, On-Boards, Heli Footage.
Yann Guichard and the crew of Spindrift lead the Route des Princes MOD70 fleet out of Lisbon’s Tagus river, taking the bonus points at the C1 mark by Cascais, setting a fast, intense pace in the very early stages of the 990 mils Leg 2 to Dun Laoghaire. On the short inshore loop over which Lisbon bid goodbye to the MOD70’s and the Maxi 80 Prince de Bretagne, Spindrift were quick to establish a lead, using the favourable wind bend along the south shore of the river and extending again on the downwind leg back to one last turn off the Praça do Comerció before heading for the open Atlantic.
This leg, via the famous Fastnet Rock off the SW of Ireland, promises several strategic keys. After an initial high pressure ridge on the ascent of the Portuguese coast, the first to be managed will be the transition around the centre of a depression that will reach them just around Cape Finisterre early tomorrow. The balancing act is to time the move to be closest to the centre, gaining maximum breeze and the quickest access to the fast reaching in the E’ly winds which will offer a fast, mostly direct course towards the Fastnet.
