Vendée Globe Day 85 morning update: Pip in the trade winds

A good working day for Pip Hare - VendÃ©e Globe Day 85 © Pip Hare / Medallia It s another spectacular night in the trade winds. The full bright moon is lighting up the ocean and Medallia s decks. The water glistens sliver as far as the horizon and the winds are pumping, 25 to 32 knots. It would be perfect conditions if only I was going in the other direction. I am hot, sweaty, being shaken and slammed around and feeling that this part of the course is relentless. I ve been three days now in the NE trades and have at least another three to go and it is taking a lot of my emotional energy to stay sane and focussed. Medallia is heeled over hard and regularly bouncing off waves so moving around is difficult and the ride down below is far from smooth. The sun shines directly into the cockpit and there is no shade on deck. Down below is airless and climbs to temperatures in the high 30s during the day. Doing anything below soaks me in sweat, on deck I am baked by the sun

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 83: 3am Eternal

VendÃ©e Globe Day 83: 3am Eternal by VendÃ©e Globe 29 Jan 20:45 UTC 29 January 2021 It was past the witching hour in his packed VendÃ©e Globe press conference when Jean Le Cam shared his own views about the remarkable race fought between - this old bloke - by Damien Seguin - the Paralympic champion born without a left hand - and by Benjamin Dutreux, the young VendÃ©e dude. The simple, no frills message mirrored thar of their respective boats. Individually and together these three swashbuckling musketeers fought a race of incredible intensity, sailing equally smooth, direct course aboard otherwise unfancied, 2008 generation IMOCAs, equipped with modest budgets and all three finished inside the Top 10 from the biggest VendÃ©e Globe fleet yet.

Vendée Globe Day 84: 24/8!

Bringing the ninth edition of the VendÃ©e Globe to an incredible crescendo eight competitors arrived back in Les Sables d Olonne within 23 hours and 44 minutes. With a record entry of 33 boats and an atypical sequence of weather systems which meant the top 10 or 12 boats regrouped and re-started on three main occasions, the race went down to the wire with five boats pitching for the podium places at 36 hours from the finish. Three skippers carried time compensations, Boris Herrmaann, Yannick Bestaven and Jean Le Cam. And it was only on Thursday evening when Le Cam finished that the final rankings were settled. Bestaven with his 10hrs 15mins of allotted time won, Dalin - who crossed the line first was second and Louis Burton third and behind them - finishing over the next 48 hours great sailors without whom the race would not have been so enthralling.

Vendée Globe Day 82: Multiple Blessings, All Winners

There are two winners in this VendÃ©e Globe smiled Yannick Bestaven sportingly as he warmly greeted Charlie Dalin, the French skipper who hours earlier had broken the finish line of the solo round the world race in first place. Granted a 10 hrs 15 mins time allowance for his role in the search and rescue of Kevin Escoffier, Bestaven displaced the pre-race favourite Dalin to win the VendÃ©e Globe by 2hrs 31secs, the narrowest margin ever in the history of the race, earned by the oldest ever winner. I am happy to have finished the race in the lead. The English talk about Line Honours and I am happy with that. Dalin, 36, said in his press conference. What I m going to remember is that I was first over the line - no one can take it away from me. It s normal for boats that stop to help others to have time compensation and that s out of my control. But whatever the outcome I m here in front of you now and I m happy that I ve done a good job.
