State of mind few days before departure...
Pierre Denjean on Oufti (36), plan Fauroux 1991 (ed, oldest boat in the race)
What are your goals for this Mini Pavois 2010?
“The thrill of the run of course, but mostly I want to accumulate miles for the Charente-Maritime/Bahia Transat 6.50 2011 that I hope to do on a Pogo 2 if I manage to get sponsored.”
Just a few days to departure, how are you feeling?
“Great, I can’t wait to set sails.”
What are your plans for the next couple of days?
“I still have a number of electronic things to take care of, keeping in mind that I also have to get the supply, do the routing and prepare my race."
Milan Kolacek (Czech Republic) on Follow Me (759), Proto Manuard 09.
What are your goals for this Mini Pavois 2010?
“To finish the race, that’s what I want. It’s only my second time running single-handed…”
Just a few days to departure, how are you feeling?
“Very tired, I didn’t get to sleep more than three or four hours over the last five days.”
What are your plans for the next couple of days?
“Work on my boat, I need to make some changes on things that I’ve noticed during the convoy, I’m going to have to do it myself. And rest, loads of rest.”
Do you plan on doing as well as David Krizek? (3rd in serie class Charente-Maritime/Bahia Transat 6,50 in 2007)
“No, I intend to do better.”
Philippe Lacase on Istuardo (603), Pogo 2 Finot 2006.
What are your goals for this Mini Pavois 2010?
« I’m a beginner… I’ve only done the Mini Port Médoc in 2009 so far. For now my goal is to finish this race! After that, who knows?”
Just a few days to departure, how are you feeling?
“As a beginner I’m obviously a bit stressed and worried, but over all I’m really happy to be doing this.”
What are your plans for the next couple of days?
“I’ve arrived from Bayonne (Basque country) just a moment ago, I’m going to check what needs to be checked and look at the weather forecast.”
Xavier Macaire on Masoco Bay (472), Série Pogo 2 Finot 03.
What are your goals for this Mini Pavois 2010?
“I want to do the best I can, just like I always do. I wanted to run on a prototype for the 2011 edition but my budget didn’t allow me to.”
Just a few days to departure, how are you feeling?
“Cool, that’s it.”
What are your plans for the next couple of days?
“I’m going to clean the hull, replace a cracked forestay, and then I’ll go sailing with my friend Jean-Marc Alaire (464, classe Série, même bateau Pogo2 Finot 2003) who has the same boat as mine…”
Paul Marette on Région Nord Pas de Calais (265), Proto Magnen-Nivelt 99.
What are your goals for this Mini Pavois 2010?
“My goal is to finish in the first 5, I was 10th last year. After that I don’t know.”
Just a few days to departure, how are you feeling?
“I feel confident, really impatient to see what the weather is going to be like.”
What are your plans for the next couple of days?
“There are quite a lot of things that still need to be done on the boat, just odd jobs, check the security, the usual stuff, I need to register. The Région Nord-Pas-de-Calais is coming for a shooting before departure.
Sétastien Rogues, winner of the Select 6.50, first single-handed race on his new mini sponsored by Eole Génération GDF Suez (716), Proto Lombard 08.
What are your goals for this Mini Pavois 2010?
“Admire the stars at night… No, seriously I’m doing this for the pleasure, I want to win of course but most of all I intend to give everything I’ve got so I don’t have any regrets on the finish line.”
Just a few days to departure, how are you feeling?
“Impatient to pull the sheets.”
What are your plans for the next couple of days?
“I’m going to attend some Public Relations events with my sponsors, but for most of the time I’ll be preparing my race and resting, to catch up on lost sleep and prepare myself for the coming days.”

Véronique Loisel will not be at the start
It's official, Véronique Loisel (De l'espace pour la mer) will not participate to the 2010 Mini Pavois.
2010/04/27
Who will win the game?
On the side of prototypes, please monitor Nicolas Boidevezi (719 – Défi G.D.E.) on a design Bertrand 2008, which finished 7th in the last Charente-Maritime/Bahia Transat 6.50 and 5th in the Select 6.50. Jorg Riechers (753 - Mare.de) on its 2009 design Bertrand, winner of Transgascogne 2009 and that recently finished 2nd in the Select 6.50. As well as Sébastien Rogues who traded his series boat for the design Lombard that was in the hands of Henri-Paul Schipman, 3rd in Salvador de Bahia in 2009. Sébastien who was very recently crowned with victory in the Select 6.50... Remember that he was nearly three hours ahead of the second! Also note the arrival in the prototypes category of a Swiss who is already known in the sailing world: Etienne David (679 - Teamwork). With several participations in the Tour de France à la Voile and an impressive record of achievements, Etienne will sail off on Stéphane Le Diraison's former Manuard 2007 that finished 4th in the last Charente-Maritime/Bahia Transat 6,50. Stéphane, with whom, he recently won the Grand Prix d'Italie.
Same version for Milan Kolacek (Manuard 2009 - N° 791), he won the double-handed race the Demi-Clé and finished 8th in the Select 6.50. You should also rely on the only woman that is racing on a Proto: Véronique Loisel (429 - De l'espace pour la mer), she sails on a proto Lombard 2003 - Alex Pella's former boat – that was 2nd in the 2005 edition of the Charente-Maritime/Bahia Transat 6.50. Lucas Montagne is sailing aboard the N° 618, a Finot that was in the hands of Peter Laureyssens in 2007 and in Olivier Avram's in 2009. A boat that has great potential! Also look at two new prototypes: Thomas Normand (787 – Financière de l’Echiquier) on a design Manuard 2010 that finished 7th in the Select 6.50 and David Raison, who will attend his first race aboard his amazing Magnum. This design Raison should not go unnoticed! Finally, note the arrival on the circuit of a free ride World Champion (extreme skiing) Aurélien Ducroz (417 – Nissan) on a proto Lombard. After plenty of challenges on snow, Aurélien wants a challenge at sea!

Fair fights to come…
On the side of series boats, 19 Pogo 2 will be lining at the start among the 28 listed. Once again, the design Finot will be the most represented. Two Manuard's Tip-Top will be on the start line with Jorge Maden Ruiz (636 – Casio G-Shock) and Loïc Le Bras (579 – Cachaca) and three new Rolland’s D2 in the hands of Tolga Pamir (737 - Yakamoz), Pierre Cizeau (746 - E = MD2) and Brendan Archin (757 - Bibounde), who just finished 2nd in the last Select 6.50. Will the supremacy Pogo 2 be shattered? To be continued... Knowing that there will be two Zero, a Dingo and a 1998's Pogo 1, in the hands of Serge Bertrand (230 – Minimum). Six competitors are coming back after their adventure in The Charente-Maritime/Bahia Transat 6.50 2009: Robert Rosen Jacobson (602 –Ned602), Emmanuel Renaud (446 – Koati), Conrad Colman (480 – Betelgeuse), Amaury François (697 – Minus), Marc Vertes (733 – Les amis de la terre kokopelli) and the amazing Xavier Macaire (472 - Masoco Bay) who finished third in series in 2009!
47 sailors entered to date...
On the 27th of April 47 sailors have registered for the 2010 Mini Pavois. There are 19 prototypes for 28 series or 33 French and 14 non-French. Once again, the internationalization of the Classe Mini speaks for itself with the presence of two Spanish, Jorge Maden Ruiz and Nacho Orti, a Turkish with Tolga Pamir, a Czech with Milan Kolacek, two American with Andy Abel and Ryan Finn, two Dutch with Robert Rosen Jacobson and Lucas Schroder, a Scottish with Ewan Stirling, a Belgian with Jonas Gerckens, two German with Jorg Riechers and Henrik Masekowitz, a Swiss with Etienne David and finally, a New Zealander with Conrad Colman.
It has arrived...
David Raison's Magnum (No. 747) has arrived in La Rochelle... This proto-design Raison is already moored pontoon 14 for the Mini Pavois (from the 4th to the 14th of May). And it is surprising as one might expect after Pipof's report on www.seasailsurf.com! With his mouth inspired by the American "Scows", it will not go unnoticed on the pontoon and at sea... The 2010 Mini Pavois will be a real scale test for that boat ! More photos on Facebook: Grand Pavois Organisation (GPO) - Fan page.
