Vendée Globe Day 61: Pip Hare has port rudder stock crack, needs to fit spare

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

Ari Huusela passes Auckland Island in the Vendée Globe © Ari Huusela / Stark #VG2020 British skipper Pip Hare kept her Vendée 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.

Vendée Globe Day 60: Tunnel vision for Pip Hare, dream realised for Cape Horner Tripon by Vendée Globe 6 Jan 17:34 GMT 6 January 2021 Armel Tripon on L Occitaine en Provence passes Cape Horn in the Vendée Globe © Armel Tripon / L’Occitaine en Provence #VG2020 With 1300 miles to sail to Cape Horn this next week will be the toughest of British skipper Pip Hare s Vendée Globe.

Vendée Globe Day 57: Charlie Dalin on Apivia second at Cape Horn

Charlie Dalin on Apivia second at Cape Horn in the Vendée Globe © Charlie Dalin / Apivia #VG2020 Charlie Dalin (Apivia) became the second Vendée Globe skipper to round Cape Horn at 0439hrs early this Sunday morning, the 36 year old French skipper who originates from Le Havre, passing much closer than leader Yannick Bestaven (Maître Coq IV) did some 14 hours and 56 minutes earlier. Fighting his way north in 30-35 knot winds on his Verdier designed IMOCA Dalin was just six miles offshore of Cape Horn, passing during the hours of darkness. But the first timer in the big south - as yesterday was Bestaven - completed his initiation as a Cape Horner by calling the keeper of the lonely lighthouse at the end of the world and passing on his thanks and his regards, while quietly savouring the intense relief, the satisfying moments of deliverance into the home Atlantic Ocean.
