Back in Brest and already on stand-by for another attempt, as soon as some favourable weather arrives, Francis Joyon has made a slight change to his crew. The German sailor, Boris Herrmann is now focusing on his 2020 Vend\u00e9e Globe campaign ansd is being replaced by S\u00e9bastien Audigane. A good all rounder, recognised for his skill at the helm, S\u00e9bastien has a wealth of experience of round the world sailing, and has an excellent knowledge of the boat, having previously sailed on her at the time of Groupama 3. He is someone who admires Francis Joyon, is friends with Bernard Stamm, Alex Pella and Cl\u00e9ment Surtel, Big Seb has already merged well into the team and can\u2019t wait to begin the attempt at the Trophy, which since Geronimo and Olivier de Kersauzon, has determined his career plan and lifestyle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By joining the crew of the IDEC SPORT maxi trimaran, S\u00e9bastien Audigane will not be entering a strange universe. One of the legendary figures in the Jules Verne Trophy, S\u00e9bastien Audigane has shown his human qualities and talents abord some of the leading projects in the history of the event. \u201cOlivier de Kersauzon gave me the taste for sailing around the world as quickly as possible. I sailed on Geronimo at the start of my career<\/em>, explained the 48-year old sailor. \u201cI was proud and pleased to win the Jules Verne Trophy aboard Bruno Peyron\u2019s maxi catamaran Orange II with a certain Bernard Stamm. I also sailed on Banque Populaire V, but was not abaord for their winning campaign with Lo\u00efck Peyron.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

His knowledge of the boat, the race course and his talents at the helm meant that last year he was part of the Spindrift adventure. S\u00e9bastien is setring off again this time with just as much enthusiasm as back in the early days. \u201cSailing around the world is still just as exciting for me,<\/em>\u201d he admits. \u201cThe course is fantastic and these boats are magical. IDEC SPORT proved last year that she was capable of beating the record, if the winds are favourable in the south.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Boris Herrmann is stepping off the boat with some mixed feelings. On the one hand there is the regret at leaving this exceptional group ofn sailors, but at the same time he is looking forward\u00a0 to seeing his Vend\u00e9e Globe dreams come true after purchasing an IMOCA that is currently racing. He said last weekend talking about handing over to S\u00e9bastien, that he is \u201ca sailor I know well and have huge respect for and I\u2019m sure hell fit in perfectly with the group.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

S\u00e9bastien Audigane in short\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

S\u00e9bastien Audigane does not leave people feeling indifferent about him. The sailor built like a rugby player stands out in terms of his size? Secondly, there is the kindness coming from such a physique that surprises. Big Seb is a discreet yet efficient and measured sailor. The model crewman.<\/p>\n

For more than fifteen years, he has been indispensable\u00a0 wherever he lays his hat, from Dragon racing to the Figaro class, meaning that he is always on the short list when teams are establishing their ocean racing projects. Bruno Peyron, Franck Cammas, Lo\u00efck Peyron and more recently, Yann Guichard and Dona Bertarelli have chosen him as their favourite helmsman, as he shows confidence and skill at the helm of these maxi-multihulls as they race around the world. It is the ocean that inspires and motivates the Breton.<\/p>\n

At ease at the helm of a 15m IR in the Mediterranean sunshine, year after year, he looks towrds the desolate wastelands of the Southern Ocean, as if 5 roundings of Cape Horn is not enough. Seb wants more. Watch leader last year on Spindrift, he sees it as a blessing that Francis Joyon has invited him aboard this maxi-trimaran that he knows well, Franck Cammas\u2019s former Groupama 3.<\/p>\n

It would be understating things to say that his wide range of talents fit in perfectly with the demands of Joyon\u2019s elite troops.The confidence he shows will be a quality that the others on IDEC SPORT share, along with the pleasure of sailing on the big red and grey maxi-trimaran, which will certainly continue with the arrival of the new boy.<\/p>\n
