Amazing footage by Conrad Colman, these IMOCA's are truly an architectural feat. Cheers to all sailors and wishing them a safe passage and a Happy New Year.

According to my calculations and all things remaining the same, Richomme needs to average just under .5 knots faster than Dalin for remainder of the race in order to still Win. That's not asking much and Dalins lead could be short-lived.

I strongly suspect this will be the last solo Vendee Globe. Why? I think when the sponsors realize how little people tuned in…they will no longer support this. How long can one watch someone sitting in a swinging chair looking at flat screens? Half the group in the lead speak no English and there has been no attempt to translate.
I think the crewed Vendee is here to stay. With an OBR dedicated to making it interesting, with crew interactions that break the monotony, with amazing shots of the boat under sail, that is entertaining.
So, let’s enjoy this last solo!!!

Happy New Year!

I recently returned to sailing after a 35 year gap and qualified as a day skipper in 2024 - but now I’m hooked again (only this time round I can actually afford it!)

I am blown away by this race! It is literally a world away from my own cautious holiday boating, and the skippers are absolutely heroic! Pip especially is an inspiration!

Thank you so much for this content. It is a very clear, understandable explainer of the progress of the race, especially with the Predict Wind segments which bring to life the complexities of racing. The combination of strategic challenge with physical endurance is incredible! The skill & resilience of the skippers is absolutely breathtaking.

Meanwhile, when I sail it’s with a cup of tea, a bacon sandwich, and the flat seas surrounding Greece…

I've watched the Tour de France for decades. And I've always thought that drama was unmatched in any other sport. But this race is 3x longer and 10x more interesting.
Also: side note: my fellow cyclists love to complain about how expensive our sport is. Clearly, they've never shopped for a headsail.
