Liderii din Vendée Globe au încetinit până la un târâș în timp ce vânturile slabe le blochează calea, dar veteranul marinar IMOCA Jean Le Cam va reuși o lovitură de maestru și va ocoli flota în frunte? #vg2024 #imoca #vendeeglobe

Le roi Jean!
Great analysis, as usual.
I always said it was crazy to go west… the wind points south through the corridor west of Cape Verde…. well see who has the clairvoyance 😅😂😅😂
I thought the same, couldn't understand why they all headed west.
No. They are both heading straight into a lull that will last several days, while the others will have better winds in 40ish hours.
I like JLC + CC route.
The pack are currently sitting on the backside of a low pressure and the model shows this system is going to track slowly east then move south which is opposite to how I expect pressure systems to travel. If the model is wrong, and the system tracks north the wind hole will grow fast.
Heading south to pick up the trades is a safe bet.
Nice video , please keep the updates coming, I’m glued to my iPad day and night and am following every insight I can get !!
Clac Clac Clac…Master of VG… hopefully the (only-one´s) choice…!
King Jean runs his own race, and being in a non foiler, no point in following the pack. Legend.
The " official " vg has not yet commented on local and colmans South flyer
Local = lecam I hate spell ch
He is going to sneak ahead!!!! And Conrad!!!
the EV play is what the bulk of the fleet are doing, 100%. if you were to run the same race 10 or 100 times it would be favoured for sure, because the risk of not westing is you get stuck in an entirely dead zone for days on end. not 5 knots, literally 0 knots off the west coast of africa in the doldrums. they need to west anyways to be on the correct side of the south atlantic high. theres a reason the rest of the fleet isnt going that direction even though they would've had better odds of making it through, given already being further ahead and being in faster foilers, and that's that the risk of destroying your race being stuck in a dead zone for days isn't worth the maximum potential upside of a slight lead
I don't know why you put the line to go West later , he isn't going to the carribean , he will still req sw direction
Nice reports here, I like the short size, focus on main topics. Thank you. Keep going!
Jean Le Cam has the most French Hair ever!
Saw the weather on tracker, then wondered what sailors get on their techie screens. Worried about needing to hug coast too closely (what factors they would also consider) yet wind flow around that high/hole going light & blue in near future…From windy sailing safe to best route! What decisions! Why we like your updates and immersed in VG news from official to skippers. Thank you, “armchair sailor”.
Nice to see you guys come to the same conclusion that I commented on your previous video. I think, the weather predictions on the official VG tracker are not completely accurate. I have an app that updates predictions from multiple different weather models on an hourly basis and based on that I really feel that Jean Le Cam will upset the rest of the fleet. I am right now concerned whether Conrad will manage to sneak with Jean through the incomming no-wind zone.
Crazy how the fleet is still so tight, after 5 days of race, with the first twenty boats less than 100 nautical miles apart! Jean Le Cam is an old fox, he could well be on the verge of commiting the hold-up of the year.
YESSS come on Jean
Thanks.
6th VG not 5th for Jean
Brilliant
All hail to The King….👍
Go la Cam…..bravo
yes we cam!
Please please always probide us with a ranking up to …? 10th place or so…it s all about being first insnt it?
In 16 hours he runs out of wind.
Love it! Can’t wait to see Jean Le Cam take the lead!
The fox
Le Cam! The Man!
Can’t wait👌 Tom😊😊
Not brilliant, just logical. It was crystal clear all this time that this was the sensible thing to do. They all good stuck in group-think. This is not a round-the-boeys race
Clack clack clack 😊
Yes We Cam!
When sailing we used to say if you do something different and you pull it off, you're a bloody hero, if you finish losing badly then you are a bloody fool.
Outlaw took the eastern route all the way to Cape Town in last year’s Ocean Globe Race. It’s a high risk, high reward decision that played out well for us.
