Franck Cammas on the New York Vendée

As Head of Performance of the Orient Express Racing Team – the French challenger for the America’s Cup – Franck Cammas has his work cut out.But he has been keeping a close eye on the progress of the IMOCA fleet, in what has proved to be an unusual passage across the north Atlantic in the New York Vendée-Les Sables d’Olonne race.Cammas says the 28 skippers in the 3,600-nautical mile transat, which in theory should have been fast and mainly downwind, have been facing a series of brick walls as they have tried to make progress west-east towards the finish at the home of the Vendée Globe.
