Vendée Globe Day 51 morning update: Tunnel Vision, towards Cape Horn, less than 2000 miles ahead

Vendée Globe Day 51 morning update: Tunnel Vision, towards Cape Horn, less than 2000 miles ahead by Vendée Globe 28 Dec 2020 06:52 GMT 28 December 2020 At just under 2000 miles to Cape Horn, the leaders of the Vendée Globe have a long, tough week of work ahead to reach the big left turn, the release out of the Pacific back into the home ocean. There is some relief that speeds are quick again as their position on the depression finally yields reaching conditions, cold SW lies for the chasing peloton, NW ly for Yannick Bestaven (Maître Coq) and Charlie Dalin (APIVIA). And while there were predictions that Bestaven might run away from his pursuers, Dalin is less than 90 miles - or about six hours - behind.

Vendée Globe Day 51: Back to reality

Vendée Globe Day 51: Back to reality by Vendée Globe 28 Dec 2020 17:37 GMT 28 December 2020 On the Vendée Globe front line the Christmas truce is over. Days of light winds and mild temperatures have been summarily replaced by 30-35 knot winds. Deep reefed sails are the order of the day. It is cold, miserable and wet with freezing South Pacific water sluicing the decks. As the leading duo Yannick Bestaven (Maître Coq IV) and Charlie Dalin (APIVIA) pass Point Nemo today, the loneliest point on the Southern Ocean - the Furious Fifties offer a rude reminder why they are so called.

Vendée Globe Day 50: Bestaven s Best Birthday Present?

Vendée Globe Day 50: Bestaven s Best Birthday Present? by Vendée Globe 27 Dec 2020 20:16 GMT 27 December 2020 Yannick Bestaven (Maître CoQ IV) shows again today why he is the leader of the Vendée Globe as he has positions himself well to take the best advantage of a long awaited low pressure system which will finally break up the southern Pacific Ocean stalemate. Slow, tactical sailing has largely prevailed for nearly 1,500 nautical miles and some five days of racing. Bestaven s optimal upwind course sees him clip the corner flag of the Antarctic Exclusion Zone as the new weather system breathes life back into his attack, allowing him to slant slightly more to the south, passing some 300 miles south of Point Nemo tomorrow.

Vendée Globe Day 47: A Christmas lead for Dalin?

Stéphane Le Diraison on Time for Oceans - Vendée Globe Day 47 © Stephane Le Diraison Strategies are now diverging significantly between the leading two skippers Thomas Ruyant and Charlie Dalin at the front of the Vendée Globe fleet. Ruyant has split north to seek a low pressure system first, looking to reap the rewards of a fast downwind ride after the weekend but he must sail many more miles - some of them at an oblique angle to the best course east - and some of them potentially upwind into 25-30 knots of wind. While third placed Thomas Ruyant has now dropped to be over 300 miles behind leader Bestaven, as the distance to the finish line dropped today to be less than 10,000 nautical miles, so it seems that Dalin might be rewarded by returning to the race lead on Christmas Day, by virtue of his more direct course.
