This third episode explores behind the scenes of the work of Erwan Israël, Benjamin Schwartz and Julien Villion; a trio who are as integral to daily performance as they are to the end result. Throughout Charles’ fifty days out on the racetrack, these experts in weather analysis work out of a house rented for the occasion close to Gitana’s base so that they can work at the same rhythm as the skipper. Akin to a crew, they effectively take it in turns to be on watch to support him throughout his circumnavigation of the globe. (CC Available)
