1. Thank you. I remember the walk through of GGR Simon Curwen's boat Clara and he pointed to the safety belt on his bunk which, when he was knocked down in the Southern Ocean while he was asleep, saved him from being thrown out and potentially injured.

   I have not seen any safety belts on Malizia and it would seem that Rosi was not using one which was why she was flung out of her bunk and quite badly injured. Surely an avoidable injury?

   Are there indeed bunk safety belts and if not, why not?

   Thanks,

   Guy, Hong Kong

2. Awesome Nialls. I had a question about the configuration of Malizia's forward section.

3. Are they required to fix the sails that they started with or can a new sail be swapped in

4. I would also like to know the details of the repairs, how many layers, materials,etc. Can they replace sails every leg?

5. The differences between 11th Hours old foils and new foils. I suspect the old ones had less lift and thus were not as goid in Southern Ocean Leg.

6. More reaction from the sailors now that they have had some time to digest leg 3 would be interesting. Any team member changes. And lastly Get the OBR Antoine from Malizia a frickin beer.

7. congratulations to all sailors and their boats
   could get more detailed information video footage of how they actually sale the boat and what is the box on team malizia that i see them pressing buttons to adjust trim autopilot
   could you shed more light on what it all dose please
   and thank you for all teams broadcasting footage. It has been the most exciting 40 odd days of sailing of ever watched. thank you

8. So, the debris hit on the foil. It seems to me that it's hard to avoid happening again. To start, ask teams by now have dropped buoys for research. How can they avoid hitting one of those or any other hard debris or buoy?

9. I’m interested in whether the solar panels being used are custom or available in the marketplace? Manufacturers?

10. Epic racing, footage and sailors!

    Given that aa few of them have done the race before, how does the stress of being under pilot vs helming V65s compare (in the last few days the pilots seem to have had enough and caused multiple issues).

11. What are the rules about repairing or replacing damage to hulls, appendages, equipment and sails?

12. Very nice and thoughtful summary. In response to your requests for questions, I’d like to know where each boat stands on their allowable sail inventory. Each boat has a maximum number of sails for the race, and this last leg caused some boats to damage and ruin multiple sails.

13. Which sails are still available to the teams for the coming legs?

14. will they wave at the GGR sailors as they go past

15. For leg five from Newport to Aarhus, are any of the teams planning to beat Comanches’ world record for the fastest crossing of the Atlantic. Comanches tactic was waiting for the perfect weather system and staying ahead of the storm using a single weather system for the whole crossing. I think with a little luck and perfect weather all five of these boats can beat Comanches time ⚡️

16. Can't help but feel for Charlie on 1tth hour. They had the longest training campaign, were totally prepared to go at the start and I am sure he felt that 1st place would be all theirs…..

17. What a great coverage of this race!

18. I would like to know more about how much rope they go through during the race and how the team has to use what they have on board to accomplish the different tasks

19. I really believe Malitzia’s win has a lot to do with their team spirit. Even though Antoine wasn’t allowed to help with the sailing he was still very much a member of the team, the Flight Captain. They all compliment each other and remained positive throughout the race.

20. I'd like to know one thing: Can a sailor somehow be prepared for Rogue Waves? Or do you only have to hope that they appear rarely enough not to face them? edit: And are perhaps the boats designed with such an incident in mind to withstand such water loads (if such a monster breaks in front of them)?

21. moire tecnical informations of the boat would be ni8ce to learn…why these boats dont lean sidwards like we see…why they glide nearly straight forward instead sidwards like before ectect……

22. Question: What have they learned about the boats/what will they change for the Vendee Globe? Related, what changes will they make in the ypes/amounts of repair materials carried on board?

23. I'd be interested in knowing how they do their sailhandlong manuvours like reefing. Can they do that while on a reach, or do they point the boat to the wind. Also having seen this, how do they race these boats alone in vendee globe? Sailing more Conservative, or?

24. Very very very cool – such special people

25. what is the overall score for each boat, how many legs to go, when does the next leg start? THANK YOU!!

26. I just want to say; the coverage of the race has gotten really good! Congrats to the Ocean Race for turning it around

27. I'm totally in awe of the skill, bravery & perseverance of all the crews. Blown away by the savage sea, it's beauty & power plus the chance to see it up close & raw is a rare privilege. Please can you tell me more about their food. Good luck to all in the next legs, may Neptune smile on you.

28. Thanks in advance for any future insights! Questions: How do they prepare for the next leg, which will be very different? Can Biotherm repair their foil in time? How will 11th hour deal with their mainsail? Since they have only one left…

29. 11th hour team found themselves in trouble in the 11th hour of the leg. unfortunate.

30. Honestly, these boats should not be breaking like this. Next ocean race i hope to see a notch up in durability. Race is decided based on what thing will break.

32. Great coverage again, and what a leg it was! I would love to hear more about the tactics and techniques of recovering situations like, for example, broaches. You see a lot of the action inside the boat, but sometimes it is hard to imagine what all the doing actually does 🙂 Would also be cool to hear more about the fact that the boats could hit stuff anytime and abut unknown floating objects.

33. I’d love to see how the recovery process for the sailors is going, how they try to get back up to speed in this short amount of time and, of course, how the boats are being rebuilt. The more detail the better!

34. Are the teams allowed to replace their worn sails? Can they chose a different suite of sails for the next leg? Thanks.

35. I've noticed that here in the USA the Ocean Race is not being covered by any of the national networks. As viewers and enthusiasts what can we do to correct this issue. Watching from central Ohio USA.

36. Can you talk about rigging and different sail types and choices?

37. Why don't they carry a spare mainsail?

38. Congratulations to all teams on this fantastic race in the southern ocean. I'd like to know if there is any chance of moving the stop in Brazil to the beautiful All Saints Bay in Salvador , Bahia.

39. Thanks Niall , well done. Your excellent and comprehensive summary is well appreciated.
    Thanks a lot for the insights which help me to get in close contact with this incredible race.

40. Awesome!

41. Nigel, there is a lot of electronic on board. Are the sailers that decided what sail configuration is used or the computer confirming to the polar diagram?

42. Thank Niall for these great updates. What I would like to see and hear from the sailors is the amount of spare parts and repair tools/parts they are taking with them? How much weight does this add to the boat? Does it differ per leg. Does it differ a lot per team?

43. Good on you. Enjoy Brazil!

44. Thank you Niall. Your passion for this competition flings over to us audience as well as the professional reporting. Goosebumps! Well produced and sharp wrap-up! Awesome!

45. Love the coverage. Thank you. A few questions. The Onboard reporters? Did each team pick their own? What made the reporters want to do this?
