Tôt ce lundi, Team Sanya a constaté une avarie sur son gréement et fait route vers un port au sud de Madagascar pour évaluer les dommages et élaborer un plan de secours. Personne n'a été blessé à bord et les équipiers sont sains et saufs.

Team Sanya est arrivé aujourd'hui à Madagascar. Course suspendue pour hauban cassé, l'équipage va y organiser la réparation de son gréement. Ou comment 11 marins de la Volvo Ocean Race débarquent sur le territoire malgache.

Le sixième concurrent de la Volvo Ocean Race a annoncé hier qu'il allait boucler à la voile la première partie de l'étape 2. Team Sanya avait cassé un hauban dans l'océan Indien et est en escale technique à Madagascar.

Worst Of The Storm Passed for RUYANT and DALIN, Golden Ticket for Armel TRIPON. BEYOU Making Inroads. For the meantime the worst of the Indian Ocean is behind them and Vendée Globe leaders Charlie DALIN and Thomas RUYANT can contemplate a relatively smooth ride to Australia's Cape LEEUWIN, now 1250 nautical miles, or about three days, ahead of DALIN.

Team Sanya suffered damage to part of their rigging early on Monday and are heading to a port in southern Madagascar in order to assess the damage and make a repair plan. No one has been injured and the crew are all safe.

Team Sanya aim to complete the first stage of Leg 2 after being forced to take refuge in Madagascar due to a rigging failure, they announced today.

For the second time in two legs, Team Sanya are facing a test of resource and resolve just to continue in the race but for skipper Mike SANDERSON there is no doubt they will be back ready to pounce in time for Leg 3.

Conrad HUMPHREYS revient sur son démâtage.

Small-scale fisheries (SSF) are highly susceptible to changes in weather patterns. For example, in Nosy Barren, Madagascar, SSF use traditional pirogues with handcrafted sails that rely on seasonal wind and sea conditions. As climate change is expected to increase the intensity and frequency of severe weather, it is important to understand how changes in weather affect SSF fishing efforts. Yet, a gap exists in the understanding of how changes in meteorological conditions affect small scale fishers. This study combines fishers' meteorological knowledge of weather conditions that allow for small-scale fishing with long-term remotely sensed meteorological data to quantify how fishing effort, defined as available fishing hours, of SSF in coastal Madagascar has changed between 1979-2020 in response to long-term weather trends. Results show a significant decrease in available fishing hours over the examined time period. Particularly, we found that a decrease in available fishing hours between 1979-2020 with a loss of 21.7 available fishing hours per year. Increased adverse weather conditions, likely associated with climate change, could decrease fishers access to crucial resources needed for the food and livelihood security. Climate change adaptation strategies will need to account for changing weather impacts on fishing availability.
