Vendée Globe Day 85: Who s next?

Sunday has scarcely been a day of rest on the VendÃ©e Globe even if it is the first day since last Tuesday that Les Sables d Olonne has not welcomed a finisher across the line and into the famous channel. Preparations have been in full swing for the arrival of the Armel Tripon (L Occitaine en Provence) who is due early Monday morning and should take 11th position. But not for the first time in the history of the VendÃ©e Globe will a skipper s last 24 hours be possibly the toughest of his race. This is especially true for the forty-five-year-old skipper from Nantes who at times was blessed with some very straightforward routing in the south. Tripon will come in the heels of a depression which is expected to have gusts of 45 knots and bring 5 to 6m waves on the finish line.

Vendée Globe Day 62: Remarkable rudder replacement keeps Medallia rolling towards Cape Horn

Ari Huusela passes Auckland Island in the VendÃ©e Globe © Ari Huusela / Stark #VG2020 British skipper Pip Hare kept her VendÃ©e Globe on course when she replaced her damaged port rudder on Medallia yesterday evening, completing the difficult operation in the South Pacific Ocean some 1000 miles west of Cape Horn. Having discovered a crack in the shaft of her rudder, the 45 year old had no alternative to stop her IMOCA 60, drop out of the damaged rudder and ship the spare in 20 knots of wind and a big Pacific swell. Hare may have lost two places, dropping to 17th, but the English solo racer who is on her first time ever in the Southern Ocean, has kept her race alive and - if she maintains the same pace as today - she should reach Cape Horn and deliverance from the south on Monday afternoon or evening.
