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.

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

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.
