Ha! I bought about 20 flavors of that dehydrated, lyophilisé food for long trips (in rough conditions). I was surprised that much of it was actually quite good, but like you found, some of it tastes like cardboard. Very pleased your back injury was not too severe. Bonne nav!
I love your videos! At that jibe mark you could say I'm taking this reaching spinaker down and then jibing and then hoisting a down wind spinaker. Looking forward to hearing about your sail cross overs. Watching from California.
Well done on catching the front pack again, despite everything that went wrong! It intrigues me, how when you're inside the boat, you can see light through the side of the hull. I think I'm going to be picking up a new catch phrase from Hugo. "C'est la vie!"
It is a race boat. The hull is really built to be light. Compared with a cruising boat there will be no thick layer of gelcoat to stop the light. Just a thin layer of paint. And due to the sandwich construction there is not much thickness of glass fibres (which is bad at cutting light anyway)
Yeah, what Christophe said, it's called fiberglass for a reason :), you can even see light though a thick layer of fiberglass. Then it's just a really thin layer of gelcoat (not paint). And yes it's more fragile than a 70's built 1.5cm monolitic fiberglass boat, but that's the price to be going faster and planning
@@TheSailingFrenchman I guess too, that in most yachts, with all the fittings inside you don't see the insides of the hull. As you say Hugo, built for speed, not comfort.
Hugo, be careful about your position in how you sleep, if you sleep in a curl to stay warm your back is much more prone to 'Reflex' injury if you put some strain before you become fully mobile again next day. 'Reflex' injury is the one where you pull with your arms and your lower back takes the strain from your legs to your shoulders, Lifting, pulling all those common forces. If you do find this sometimes you can counteract it by doing pushing type of force to push the back the other way. A cushion to press your back onto when sleeping is a great comfort.
Stand in the companion way place your hands on each side and lift your legs off the floor, do this while the boat is bottoming out so it jerks your legs and stretches your back, your back will get better, not cured but better. Repeat at half hour intervals for rest of day, two ruptured disks teaches you a lot about pain.
Very good video. I'm going to be sharing it with friends. Not all food is good and the quarter berths are the best... I agree. You "did it" because you didn't give up and late in a long race is where your many people may make most of their mistakes. And truthfully... there's always room to make a few more mistakes so overall.... Not bad. Just maybe not as good as you know you can do.
I feel for you on the back pain! I suffer from it often, especially after being on the lean for a while. Pain killers are great, but I hope there was an anti-inflammatory component to it. I always keep lots of ibuprofen on hand, and some sort of icing pack if I can. Here's to your good health!
Hi, as always a great vid!!!! Is it possible to make a more technical video about all your different sails and when to use them? Best of luck in the following races!
Ah the thrill of the chase Hugo! When things are good...they’re 20knts good, and when they’re bad...c’est la vie. Great to see you win your way back with the front pack. Hope you know a good osteopath or physio. Cheers from near Sydney, Aus
Read books by Dr. John Sarno on how pain is often stress and not physical damage. He calls it TMS. Tension Myositis Syndrome. You had plenty of stress in the race....
Tom Taylor, I have read Dr. John Sarno's books. Changed my life! I tell people about them, but it takes a certain person, with a certain brain to forget what they have been told and to let their back be ok. To tell their brain, "no thank you, I don't need this pain" Dr. John E. Sarno is dead, but he changed my life for the better. I think you are right, Hugo over slept and it was bugging him.
Here in the U.S. opioid pain killer use is a big problem with people getting addicted. I have see family and friends go down in flames. Do not use and push thru the pain. I know it is easier said than done.

Well done, given your back issues you did very well to get back to 9th position. I’m just blown away by how fast this boat is!!!!
Twenty Knots!!! Flying through the water...congrats on a great position. Yoga for the back!
Excellent last push
This episode covers all the aspects of regatta-sailing. And inspires on the most important aspect: mental attitude. Keep pushing, Hugo!
You don't quit, you don't stop learning, you are an inspiration for aspring adventurers. Best of luck in the following races!!.

A shame you're not racing in Cornwall. I run a chronic pain clinic in Wadebridge. Happy to help if you're ever in the area.

@@christophemutricy392 are these hulls also less safe due to the lightness? Or just more expensive but same durability?

Love how calm and chilled you are.:)
Good claw back , well done .
Great video👍🇳🇴
Nice video and your learning something new every day. Hope your back is ok.
I always like the Music you have.
great sailing
Well done Hugo, that must have been tough, I’ve had back troubles in the past so I sympathise.
Great job!! Never give up. Be safe and good sailing!Thanks for sharing. 🌞🌴⛵
A well fought race Hugo, things will always go wrong, that’s sailing, but it’s how you react or recover that will win the race. Good luck.
Strong work, Hugo!
Great video and well done, you came back well. Remember that you learn more from the mistakes. You did well. Take care. Jim,
Congratulations on pushing through 👏
Good race, GREAT comeback! Love your Vlog keep it up. It is the beginning of winter in Wisconsin almost Ice boating season!
Man, ice sailing looks insane!! Would love to try one day
Cheers dude 🥃
9th place well done 👍l

Well noted, will keep this in mind. Thanks
Great job on the finish and overcoming the back issue and pressing on!
I really should use my coffin berth. Thanks Hugo

Good result! well done for pushing thru the back pain and catching up. Next time don't forget to set your alarm clock!
Yep, that's a lesson learned for sure

Sure thing, working on that
Super , bravo,direction l’osteo et c’est reparti.
Perfect timing :)
Good sailing skipper
Ah the thrill of the chase Hugo!
When things are good...they’re 20knts good, and when they’re bad...c’est la vie.
Great to see you win your way back with the front pack.

Great video.
félicitation!
How practical is the spoon bow and does it really make the boat dryer ,and of course thank you for sharing your adventure!
Yes it does! Much much dryer than any boat i've been on
As a back pain sufferer I can see how being on choppy seas must be horrible pain.
Great job ,a few adjustments and and some luck ,who knows?
When are we going to see you in a Figaro 3 ?
C’est vraiment chiand ce courant !! Reviens naviguer avec nous en med !!!😂
Haha, c'est clair... mais bon en med y'a la pétole et le mistral :)
The next one will be better, yes.
Is the hull that thin you can see the sunlight through it?
Well it's called fiberglass for a reason :)
Heyy salut! Tu pourrais faire une vidéo sur toutes les voiles d’avant et quand tu les changes??
Yep, je travaille la dessus
@@TheSailingFrenchman Géniale 😎
🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻❤️❤️❤️
Salut Hugo, tu termines tout de même dans le peloton de tête. C'est pas si mal. Tu feras encore mieux la prochaine fois à la mini transat? Marc

Whats the blue device with the buttons on your chest?
Autotiller remote control...
Yep, what Paul said :)
Winners don't use drugs. Forgot the pain killers 😉

@@markbailey6051 Drs can't prescribe them anymore. It takes a court case to OK before You can get them at least in California starting in Jan 2021
Les douleurs de dos c'est pas top :/ C'est le moment d'appuyer sur la préparation physique. Bon rétablissent !
