“Clac, clac, clac!”, here we go again! While he is sailing in 3rd position in the Vendée Globe, Jean Le Cam, on a sea of oil, restarts his logbook. In this first video posted on social networks since leaving Les Sables d’Olonnethe skipper of Forêt-Fouesnant shares his life on board and in particular shows how energy works on board his Imoca Armor Lux – It all starts in Finistère. In passing, he tells us that “everything is fine“, the dean of the round-the-world sailing race”approaches Cape Verde and travels at 16 knots“. A first time in the Vendée Globe after his choice to head east, he is now sailing in third position.
Socks, sweatshirt and underpants
And so there it is, “clack, clac, clac”, which shows its solar panels placed on its mast, on the roof of the Imoca, and its two hydro-generators placed at the rear which allow it to be autonomous in energy during this race. As proof, Jean Le Cam takes us inside to show us his meter and the 3 amps and 24 volts it produces when he speaks to us.
And that’s good, this energy allows it to produce clear water. So King John was able to wash clothes”with laundry detergent” : “socks, sweatshirt, underpants“. It was Jean Le Cam’s first video test, which could start again soon since the camera and microphone work perfectly!
