Este cea mai simplă cursă de explicat și cel mai greu de făcut, Vendée Globe, non-stop, cu o singură mână, este renumită pentru că este cea mai dură cursă offshore din lume. În câteva săptămâni, 40 de căpitani vor pleca de la start în Les Sables d’Olonne, pe coasta de vest a Franței, în cea mai mare și mai grea cursă offshore cu o singură mână din lume. Matt Sheahan vorbește exclusiv cu comandantul și colaboratorul obișnuit al PlanetSail, Sam Goodchild, despre pregătirile sale înaintea cursei sale în jurul planetei.

First!
Nahoa
Was passing and took a look. The place was heaving and it's 2 weeks away. Pretty amazing how big this is in France.
Good Luck mate
Very nice to hear that you are going to cover Vendee Globe… Finally a proper commentetor for this race. Thank you…
Looking forward to being down there next Week.
Are you going to chat to Pip?
Good luck Sam, you have gone a long way from match racing first class 8s on farmoor. Fingers crossed wishing you every success. 👌⛵👌🤞🤞
Sam Goodchild is my no1. I bet KE would be cheering for him too,.He will show the world what truly means mental power, courage and masterful sailing skill is. Fair winds and safe journey great sailor. cheers from Turkey.
Very interesting comment about Boris & Malizia. Can't wait for the start!
For me the toughest is the GGR. The Vendee globe while very interesting is a formula one race where everyone can track each other. Not so easy but not the true sailing GGR.
👍👍👍
Just terrific content. Thank you 👍
with the amount of Dismasting's we are seeing in the Imoca class "at least 7 in 23-2024" and properly a few more during the Vendée Globe 2024. Have you heard any rummer's of a new mast / upgrade in the works. as it's starting to look like it may not be up to the task of foiling Imoca.
Your on that same curve ash'ent'm Sea'n you draw in mid Aire Kaptain Goodchild ❤ Wow that was fun two type!! ☮️
Yes! Always glad to see some Vendee coverage in English!
Mad, but brave bastards, the idea excites me but its fraught with danger. I salute all of you. bon voyage when you get going.
Great interview, thanks.
That's REAL sailing race. We are not talking about making rounds and rounds in water harbor here…yes YOU winner of the over-hyped America's cup who came to believe you're the best sailors in the world….LOL
I cannot wait for the next race. The video of them on the race in real time is really something along with the computer displays as to where everyone is and has been. It is complicated and requires luck. Anything can happen and you are alone. It is a real mind game as he described.
Excellent. Can’t wait!
Go Sam
Just crazy the amount of sail these yachts can carry with the ocean foils. Good luck everyone racing!
very interesting interview with well thought out questions as always. Thanks a lot. Very curious how this VG will pan out. Regarding Boris: Yes, he has optimized his boat for brutal southern ocean conditions, and if i'm not wrong this boar holds the 24 h distance world record, but Malizia demonstrated good performances also in lighter conditions and in various breezes, as you mentioned. Can't wait to see all Imocas in action.
Thank you very much for this. So hard to find english coverage of this wonderful race. Looking forward to more
Shame Alex isn’t taking part this time. Hopefully Sam has more luck!
After your refreshing coverage of the Americas Cup am looking forward to following you on this fascinating Vandee Globe coverage soon!
Do the foals make it more or less likely that they will hit obstacles or wild animals?
As a life long armchair sailor, thank you for covering this race. Bloody awesome. I live on the coast of the Southern Ocean in Western Australia ( about 34° South). It can be a terrifying place, even in Summer. I've been below 40° South, on a great circle course, many years ago, in January (mid summer). It was below 10 degrees Celsius on deck and the swell was massive. In those days, Albatrosses were still plentiful. One of the best experiences of my life. But I wasn't alone on a sailboat! Extraordinary courage combined with technology to race solo down there. Sorry to rant, but it truly is a special event.
It would be useful if most of that 45000 kms was flying on foils.
Its also very much like kite surfing. The sails are so big they do function like low flying kites. The captain who can manage that kite and the great speeds generated will definitely be flying not sailing 😊
