Solitaire du Figaro: 3eme, Adrien Hardy realise un depart judicieux de Brest

Solitaire du Figaro: 3eme, Adrien Hardy realise un depart judicieux de Brest

Question spectacle, on peut dj dire que la 3me tape de la Solitaire du Figaro est une russite. Le dpart en rade de Brest 14h ce lundi a en effet rassembl tous les ingrdients qui font la qualit dun beau film: du suspens, des collisions, des talonnages et surtout le spectacle grandiose dune belle lutte entre les 44 figaristes lors de la sortie du goulet de Brest avant de mettre le cap sur Kinsale (Irlande). Adrien Hardy (AGIR Recouvrement), aprs avoir pass la boue Radio France en 12e position, russi nouveau un excellent dbut de course: le marin nantais tait en effet point la 3e place au classement de 19h. Aprs la dception de la 2me tape, Brest restera finalement un bon souvenir pour le skipper dAGIR Recouvrement. Quelques heures avant le dpart, Adrien Hardy stait jur de se mettre dans les meilleures conditions pour russir cette 3me tape: Jai vraiment envie de prendre un bon dpart, cest important pour la suite de la course et pour le moral. Le marin nantais alliait le geste la parole en prenant un bon dpart Brest puisquil passait la boue de Radio France en 12me position. Alors que la moiti de la flotte optait pour la gauche du plan deau caractris par ses courants et ses falaises, le figaro AGIR Recouvrement prfrait la droite et les plages de la ville de Brest. Ce choix savrait fort judicieux: Adrien Hardy sortait en 3me position de la rade suivi par les tnors de classe figaro (Armel Le Clach, Nicolas Lunven et Yann Elis). A 19h, soit cinq heures aprs le dpart, le marin nantais tait toujours class 3me 0,5 miles du premier Thomas Rouxel (Crdit Mutuel de Bretagne). La veille du dpart, le skipper dAGIR Recouvrement (21me du gnral) affichait dtermination et motivation: Si nous sommes mi-course en terme dtapes, lorsque lon regarde statistiquement et par exprience, on remarque que les carts en temps se font sur les tapes 3 ou 4, gnralement cause de la fatigue. Il y a donc encore du jeu et mon objectif de faire dans les 10 est ralisable. Adrien Hardy dtaillait galement les grandes lignes de ltape entre Brest et Kinsale (Irlande): Cela va tre une tape rapide, les routages nous font arriver mercredi soir. Pour le premier tiers, il sagit dune course o la conduite du bateau et la vitesse seront dterminantes, cela me convient bien. Il y aura ensuite une partie avec du vent changeant et du prs. Si la flotte commence se diviser en paquets, des carts importants peuvent se former. Le dernier tronon sera de la navigation ctire. Le vent portant va se renforcer dans la nuit de lundi mardi pour atteindre jusqu 25 nuds. Ds demain matin, les premiers bateaux contourneront le phare de Wolf Rock situ la pointe de lAngleterre puis mettront le cap sur le Fastnet.
