Vendée Globe Day 65: All Bets Are Off, Open Season for the Podium

Thomas Ruyant on LinkedOut during the Vendée Globe © Thomas Ruyant / LinkedOut #VG2020 All bets are off. Normally by the 64th day of recent editions of the Vendée Globe, the solo non-stop race round the world has been distilled down to a choice of two or at the outside three potential winners. But as the group of six chasing solo racers are now compressed to within 300 miles of leader Yannick Bestaven, and the skipper of Maître Coq IV has seen his lead of 435 miles melt like snow in the Brazilian sun, to be just 38 miles ahead of Charlie Dalin (Apivia) this afternoon, it is clear any one of the top six or seven boats could hope to break the Les Sables d Olonne finish line first later this month, probably around the 28th or 29th. Indeed by tomorrow Tuesday there seems every chance that the leader for 17 days might have been passed.

Vendée Globe Day 64: Final 5,000 miles set to be a cliffhanger

Louis Burton on Bureau Vallée during the Vendée Globe © Louis Burton / Bureau Vallée #VG2020 Any one of four or five skippers can still win this race. Warned Jean Pierre Dick on the French Vendée Globe Live show this afternoon. With less than 5000 miles to sail now to the finish line, the leaders are passing Itajai in southern Brazil, the finish port of the Transat Jacques Vabre, and therefore retracing a now familiar climb back to France which many sailed solo last year after the end of the two handed race to Brazil. But with the chasing group now having eroded Yannick Bestaven s lead to 226 nautical miles and five skippers withing 345 nautical miles, the next 48 hours - and the passage of the cold front at Cabo Frio by Rio - and strategic choices to get to the Easterly trade winds is going to be pivotal.

Vendée Globe Day 63: An unruly, unrelenting Pacific

Vendée Globe Day 63: An unruly, unrelenting Pacific by Vendée Globe 9 Jan 18:16 UTC 9 January 2021 Stéphane Le Diraison on Time For Oceans - Vendée Globe Day 63 © Stéphane Le Diraison / Time For Oceans / VG2020 The Pacific is proving particularly unrelenting for the Vendée Globe competitors still racing eastwards towards Cape Horn. There might be the odd pause for a few hours before the next low pressure system kicks them along the course towards deliverance, and the big left turn out of the Southern Ocean and into the more sheltered waters of the Atlantic. The next wagon train of IMOCA 60s presently routing their approach to the Horn is led by Switzerland s Alan Roura, with Arnaud Boissières and Briton Pip Hare all close behind. These three musketeers should pass between Sunday night and Monday lunchtime.
