Lyophilise & Co and the 2019 Transat Jacques Vabre
Transat Jacques Vabre 2019 - The Lyophilise & Co Team in Le Havre
85% of the fleet sourced their provisions from Lyophilise & Co. Just before the start of the race, Ariane and Clara were in Le Havre to make final deliveries and connect with the skippers. On this occasion, the Lyophilise & Co team was joined by our Norwegian friends from Real Turmat.
Coming all the way from Tromsø, north of the Arctic Circle, Monica, Björn (the chef himself!), and Hild-Eline had the opportunity to speak directly with the sailors and gather their feedback on using freeze-dried meals in the demanding conditions of offshore racing. Let’s just say that eating freeze-dried meals in rough seas is no easy feat—especially when a boat like La Fabrique can reach speeds of up to 60 km/h!
Since June, many crews have been testing their food for this legendary transatlantic race that set off last Sunday. What are the culinary trends for the race?
Each sailor prepares their own meals, meaning there’s no defined trend as provisioning is entirely customized. While some navigators have exclusively chosen sterilized meals, others have opted for freeze-dried options or a mix of both. These meals are supplemented with snacks (energy bars, dried meat, etc.) and drinks to provide the right energy at the right time throughout the 10 to 15 days of racing.
To everyone who came to us for their provisioning, a huge THANK YOU!
