It's a team effort both on and off the water. Whilst the solo sailor plays their part at sea, back on shore the members of the shore crew, who are in constant contact with the sailor, keep a careful look out, ready to intervene at any moment, albeit remotely, to help them resolve an issue or hop onto a plane and join them anywhere around the globe if the situation calls for it. Engineers, hydraulics specialists, naval architects, electronics engineers, composite specialists… they can all offer support to Charles Caudrelier whatever the domain. Indeed, this is another side to offshore racers, which gives these solo sailors such a unique profile as a top-flight athlete. Their discipline is a high-tech mechanical sport but when they set sail on a race like the Arkea Ultim Challenge, their ability to cope with and resolve any damage by themselves is also a guarantee of success.
