Vendée Globe Day 54: Attack is the best form of defence

Vendée Globe Day 54: Attack is the best form of defence by Vendée Globe 31 Dec 2020 21:52 UTC 31 December 2020 Yannick Bestaven on Maître Coq IV leads the Vendée Globe into 2021 © Yannick Bestaven / Maître Coq IV #VG2020 After more than one month in the Southern Ocean at under 800 miles to Cape Horn for Charlie Dalin (Apivia) who is 133 miles behind leader Yannick Bestaven (Maître CoQ IV), it is increasingly likely that the leading pair will round Cape Horn, the mythical rock within hours of each other between Saturday night and Sunday.

Waves as high as a three-storey building and winds gusting to 55kts are expected over a ferocious ten-hour period for Yannick Bestaven and Charlie Dalin as they both seek to double the Horn, the last of the course s three Great Capes, for the first time.

And the weather is far from simple as the conclusion of a relentless push across the Pacific approaches. The vital thing in these conditions is achieving the right balance both in terms of the physical approach - trimming and pushing the boat hard enough to not lose too many miles against the opposition - and the mental approach - keeping alert,
