I’ve been really enjoying this coverage and think the presenter has been fantastic.

Then in this episode he just pronounced Longitude as “LongTitude” and lost all credibility with me

Would have been nice to see some grinding dust collection going on 11th hr racing. Even a damp T Shirt would have done alot.

The Ocean Race is collecting micro plastics all round our oceans then making a few more by grinding paint and carbon on deck.

I see alot of people, and I caught myself doing it as well years back when we didn't know better, going to the down wind part of a boat to do a dusty job.

I know keeping the weight down when building the boats and packing for the long legs is crucial for achieving those high knot numbers…and I'm aware that extensive testing has been done on critical components in preparing for competition. However, when competing in the isolated dangerous southern ocean it seams that having more spares and more repair material and equipment might be worth having. Since most of the "vacuum bagging" components are reusable and a small lightweight vacuum pump can certainly be produced, it seems that these would be legitimate items to have and worth sacrificing a few pounds. Hitting some unexpected debris at night can take out a rudder quickly.

Both of 11th Hour's rudders have been damaged and run a high risk of failing at any time. They are in the Southern Ocean, 1000's of from any land. It is highly likely that their spare rudder (now fitted) will suffer the same fate. What happens when it fails? , they will be helpless without a rudder or will they hope that they will be able to limp to a port with one of their broken rudders while it still has some blade left on it? Or would it have been a better option to strengthen the spare rudder before fitting it on to the boat? I am watching with bated breath.

It could just be me, but Charlie Enright reminds me a little of Charlie Brown. He seems always to be beset with a dark cloud that follows him all the time. Yea, I know that was Pig Pen. A good Skipper to be sure, so, good on you Charlie. But maybe you could crack a smile once in a while. Or, just take a pil. It is, after all, just racing.

Question for team Holcim please, what tactical move placed your boat far ahead at 30 degrees East?
Thanks much

Aye Geordie I'm getting into that frame of mind, I reckon this year I want to get as much done as possible before I get too old, the west highland way was hard over 5, but I'm stubborn and I'll never give up
