Before leaving the dock in Les Sables d'Olonne on the west coast of France, the British sailor Alex Thomson had already passed his first major challenge of the Vendée Globe, the grueling single-handed, nonstop around-the-world race that began Sunday. Thomson, a race favorite, has spent the last 22 days completing the repair of a 5-by-12-foot hole in his 60-foot carbon racing sailboat, Hugo Boss, which was run through by a fishing boat while being delivered for the race. This year's race includes a record 30 competitors, and for the first time the world's top solo ocean-racing sailors will be on the 26,000-nautical-mile course together. And this time, Thomson, 34, is determined to keep his slick black boat on course to victory. He dropped out of the last running of the Vendée Globe in 2004-5 and abandoned his first Hugo Boss sailboat in last year's Velux 5 Oceans Race. “I have had to just focus on fixing the boat and nothing else,” Thomson said in a telephone interview Sunday before the 1 p.m. start. “It wasn't until yesterday that I was able to think I need to get into race mode.” Thomson and his rivals motored past more than 100,000 cheering spectators along the beaches and jetties of this old port city, the host to all six Vendée Globes since the event began in 1989. The race started against a calm southwesterly breeze in the Bay of Biscay that was expected to rise to a full gale by Monday afternoon. The sailors are racing the newest Open 60 boats, designed to a measurement rule that allows for innovation but keeps the boats evenly matched. They are made for the downwind prevailing breezes of the west-to-east course, with wide, flat, stable sterns that skim across the waves at high speeds and massive sails made of strong, lightweight fibers like Kevlar and Spectra. The boats have been refined to top 40 miles an hour in the open ocean. And with “intelligent” autopilots that steer the boat like a human more than 90 percent of the time, skippers are free to track the fastest routes and fine-tune each sail for speed. They do all this while sleeping in 15-minute spurts for an average of two hours each day. “This is the World Cup in this sport,” Denis Horeau, the race director for the Vendée Globe, said via telephone. “Everyone, all the best sailors want to be here. It's their Everest.” Compared with other global ocean races — including the Volvo Ocean Race, the crewed, multileg sprint that started with eight teams from Spain last month — the Vendée Globe is considered the most extreme sailing event in the world. Vincent Riou, a Frenchman who broke the race record in 2005 when he finished in 87 days 10 hours 47 minutes, appeared on track for another record attempt this year. But he collided with what he said he thought was a shark during the Artemis Transat Race in May and had to abandon his PRB. He was rescued by the race winner, Loïck Peyron, one of his fiercest competitors. His boat was recovered, but, like Thomson, he is sailing a repaired boat. Peyron, Riou and the rest of the fleet will be pushing hard to complete the race in 80 days. It has been 15 years since a crewed catamaran circled the globe in less than 80 days, but that record has yet to be broken by a monohull. Horeau said he believed this latest generation of Open 60s, most launched this year, would shave more than a week off the current record. Although Thomson finished second in this year's Barcelona World Race, a double-handed, nonstop around-the-world race, he has yet to make that trip solo. He said he was hoping that his 11th-hour repairs would hold up to the bashing he expected from the weather and his competitors. “I love the challenges of the southern Ocean,” Thomson said. “To get out there racing and focusing on boat speed, this is what I have been training toward. It's really amazing, more people have climbed Mount Everest than who have achieved our feat.”   By CHRIS MUSELER Published: November 9, 2008 New York Times
