Justine Mettraux should complete her Vendée Globe on Saturday morning. An XXL performance for the Geneva navigator which should spray the female record and the Swiss record on this world tour, solo, non -stop and without assistance. The runner offshore, Valentin Gautier, was invited to Béatrice Rul, at 7:30 am, to analyze Justine Mettraux’s feat.
Justine Mettraux is expected to arrive next night, in Sables d’Olonnes and complete her Vendée Globe in on Team Work in 75 days … what performance!
“It is indeed a gigantic performance which does not surprise me at all coming from Justine. I think the performance is exactly up to Justine, discreet and very effective, in the end we did not talk about it so much Until then and there it is completing a world tour which approaches the absolute value of the record of the female world tour which is held by Ellen MacArthur “.
“Justine is also on the way to becoming the winner of the boats of her generation”
A performance all the greater since its front sail was torn apart, at the beginning of Vendée Globe.
-“It is difficult to imagine actually because it has lost one of its front sails which is still a sail that is quite useful on this type of boat. Afterwards it still had other sails So it was less serious as damage than his competitor who tore his large sail a few days ago for example. Vendée Globe which has experienced very conducive conditions for records, we see that the former also exploded the record of almost ten days so it is a bit in the line of this edition of the Vendée Globe. Justine all have a latest generation boat, which is not her case.
“Nor is it by chance, there are public subsidies that have been put in the right place”
What a pride, a Geneva who makes such a performance! At the start, she learned to sail, on the lake, which is still, very different, from the sea!
“No it’s not quite the same thing, actually after the lake is still an excellent talented incubator for navigators because it is a lake with very specific conditions, many mountains around that make the winds are very changing, very complex and it historically trains it also formed a lot of very good sailors. . Training at the Regatta. who have been put in the right place and we can only congratulate ourselves on structural work like that “
